There are lots of great shows on television but I can remember only a few great movies that have been released lately.

I'm making a guess here, but in saying great, you are refering to proper plot and development of characters?
Well in essence movies and tv shows are created for different purposes, the multi-episode tv series have time to develop the characters fully, giving them depth which allows for proper plot development. Movies on the other hand are meant to be a one of longer episode, as a result their focus is alot on dramatisation, be it in character development or special effects. In addition, many are have usually cliche plots.
But again, that is merely my guess... )

I actually don't really like too many movies OR TV shows anymore and I don't think they're doing anything original anymore.
I remember when ER was a show I could barely wait to watch each week, but it should have been canceled a LONG time ago!
How I long for the days of St. Elsewhere, Moonlighting, Hillstreet Blues, China Beach, etc.
Now we have Desperate Housewives and dozens of formulaic detective shows --ho-hum!
And I used to love, love, love going to the movies but now it's mostly crap!
My husband and I have resorted to watching Discovery, Natnl Geo., History channel and renting old movies.
It seems to me that Hollywood doesn't know how to tell a good story anymore, only how to make a fast buck!

I completely agree with you. The writing for t.v. has gotten so much better, and movie stars are now becoming t.v. stars! I love it! Now, if only we didn't have all the commercials...
:)
I really like that new show Shark wi/James Woods. And of course, I love all the CSI shows.
