Not the OP, but the first two reasons why TV & movies from 70 years ago age worse are:
1. Quality of special effects
2. Specifically for TV, it was often treated as the medium where you dump scripts that weren’t good enough to be made into a movie.
- crazygringo 6y agoThe vast, vast majority of content from 70 years ago doesn't have special effects at all. And I'm sorry but that's not how scripts work. Episodic television and one-off movies have entirely different dramatic structures and aren't even remotely interchangeable. You can't just turn a movie into TV. One of the greatest TV shows of all time, I Love Lucy, is from 70 years ago. And in terms of enjoyment, it hasn't aged at all. Nor did it require special effects. ;) Above all, the 1950's was called the "Golden Age of Television" for a reason!
