Personally, I find a lot of modern television to be better than it’s ever been. I find it smarter, more nuanced, and more emotionally and psychologically complex than most (I said most, not all!) of the television from before about 2005.

That said, the superbly written powerhouse shows of today don’t tend to engage me fannishly. I watch these shows and marvel at how complex and nuanced and contemplative they are and how well they capture the ambiguities of various situations; I am moved by them. My engagement with the text, purely in its own right, as I am experiencing it, is a lot higher. But my speculative engagement after the fact is a lot lower.

Kind of like how I quivered with emotion the entire time I read The Grapes Of Wrath, and to this day I have a kind of awed reverence for that novel. But I have zero desire to engage with it extra-textually. For me, that’s what (also excellent but fundamentally different) stories like Harry Potter are for.

Most really GOOD television doesn't engage me so much as a "fandom" fan because I got into fandom with fixits and because of characters I could ship.

I think Mad Men was enjoyable to watch, but I don't need to read or write fic. I've probably read three Mad Men fics, and I consider myself a strong fan of the show itself and the characters are very well-written.

Supernatural, though. As a show it's not really bad, but man, is it my flavor of catnip.
