@Doctor-Phibes said in The Emmys:
doesn't mean TV is worse, it could just mean there's a lot more of it, in a lot more places.
That's right. The move from episodic to serialized TV (arguably beginning with Babylon 5), I think made TV much better.

Doctor Who was doing that (admittedly to a lesser extent - 6 episodes to a story) back in 1963.

The fact that we don't recognize the shows doesn't mean TV is worse, it could just mean there's a lot more of it, in a lot more places.
I watched Squid Game - my wife and daughter watch some sicko stuff, and I get dragged in

I know what you mean. Our teenage son insists that we all watch the ever tedious The Curse of Oak Island and the preposterous, The Secret of Skinwalker Ranch and Ancient Aliens.

Ancient Aliens is hilarious. Maybe not intentionally.
Please love yourself.

Ok, challenge...Name five antenna network shows you would watch. Remember, over-the-air, not streaming or cable only.
“Cry havoc and let slip the DOGE of war!”
Those who cheered as J-6 American prisoners were locked in solitary for 18 months without trial, now suddenly fight tooth and nail for foreign terrorists’ "due process". — Buck Sexton

@Jolly I have never seen any of those shows over-the-air. Well, not in the last 10 years - I've seen 20/20 and Dateline.
"Lego Masters?" What the hell is that?
I've watched some Shark Tank (streaming) and Penn & Teller. Nothing else.
I think the last over-the-air show I watched was "Rescue Me."

Lego Masters is just that. Teams compete against each other using Legos to build some type of themed construction. They are then judged on originality, quality, adherence to theme and mechanical inclusions.

Maybe not the best, but shows you could get by on...
- NCIS, either Vegas or L.A.
- The Masked Singer. Can be goofy fun.
- Blue Bloods Long-running show with Tom Selleck.
- The Simpsons Still there, still funny.
- Sunday Night Football
- Penn & Teller: Fool Us Occasionally, somebody does. If they do, they're very good.
- PBS. That could be the new Ken Burn documentary on The Roosevelts, NOVA, Masterpiece Theatre or one of their regular lineup.

Now, out there in Antenna Land...
A lot of stations have now picked up rinky-dinky "networks" that play old reruns (like AL wrote about). or they work in some old movies. With digital, it's not unusual for one station to broadcast several feeds, such as 5.1 through 5.5...That may be a NBC, CBS, Grit, ION and H&I.
Some "networks"...

There are others...
For the person of very modest means, hunting something for entertainment and not being able to stream much (if anything), you combine these up with DVD rentals from the local library and you can get by...

I have no wish to watch anything where they spend as much time playing commercials as the actual show.
