I think the biggest difference between now and then is the lack of common moments as a society.

I look into the past and would see how Tv shows like Roots, The Day After, Ken Burns Civil War and shows like Friends and Seinfeld would have TV ratings that would put everything to shame now.

By having that you had a common experience, but now everyone is in their own filter bubbles.

Like many people I know dont watch light night comedy due to politics, that used to be a common experience before.
