It has been said we're living in a new golden age of television, because wherever you turn there's Six Feet Under, The West Wing and The Crown. Assuming this is the second golden age, that means the first brought us The Mary Tyler Moore Show, Lost in Space and Maude. Or maybe it's the third if you count Dynasty and L.A. Law?
