Someone once said that television is called a medium because nothing is ever well done.
A clever retort but untrue.
Television has shown us the Moon landing, carried us through the Vietnam War, introduced us to places and people we would otherwise been ignorant of, in short, it has enlightened and educated us.
Now, I'm not saying that it is all great. There is a lot of claptrap on the tube. But, as discerning viewers, we must slog through the muck to find the golden nuggets.

Why not? Television has made some many great contributions to society. Think of how great it is to see things like the moon walk, the Beatles, the first Presidential Debates.
So it has gone a little downhill in some of the programming, but no more than any other form of media such as literature or music.
Great inventions deserve to be celebrated. Although it is never a great idea to throw a party for yourself.

Yes, but not insofar as programming content.
It is however appropriate to recognize how television has become a mass communications tool that for good or for bad, affects the lives of most everyone on the planet in some way or another.
