I watch (and enjoy) a lot of old movies, and I can testify that entertainment in the 1930s and 40s wasn't always 'higher' and more mature than today's. For example, the Bowery Boys-- which I like, by the way-- I think was intended for an audience of dim 12 year olds boys.
One can correctly argue that today's television and entertainment is raunchier and cruder, but I think it's incorrect that old days produced higher quality entertainment. If you watched some of the B movies I have, I think you'd agree. There was dubious crap in the old days too.
P.s., I'm not a Kim Kardashian fan either. That family and the whole genre makes me wince.
