Television IS better now. There's lots of it as Rochard said, and you can time shift around to watch any show at any time. Image quality is far superior, as is sound quality. Everything has gone 100% Digital making any show from any ear, on demand. Old shows are presented digitally cleaned and with restored video and sound. You can watch any show on any device, any time.
And yes even the quality of the shows are better. Marvel's Agents of Shield anyone? How about Tru Blood? True detective? Big Bang Theory? Game of Thrones? The Simpsons (now in season 26th season or something), South Park (now in its 18th season). Sure you can argue that some shows have lost their punch, but don't forget that your opinion is relative and your tastes have change.
From a Canadian perspective, the quality of shows has also gone way up. You're lucky you never had to watch "The Littlest Hobo" on CTV because you only had 1 other choice (CBC) in Canada and their shows sucked even worse. I was watching a show called "Rookie Blue" the other day and it was pretty good. Good acting, great production values, etc. This was unheard of in Canadian TV 20 years ago.
Even MUCH (Which used to be called Much Music, which was an offshoot of MTV), is now mega huge.
Today's TV is fucking amazing.
