In terms of quality, not in the historical context of 50s and 60s.

The 80s through the mid 2000s. A combination of 9/11, the 2008 writers strike, and the rise of reality tv did a number on story telling.

Yes, there has been a resurgence in “good” tv since game of thrones and breaking bad. But most prestige tv feels more like mini series with longer episodes and a need to see every episode in order for anything to make sense. The period I mentioned was the best for casual viewing and entertainment given any random episode of any given tv show.
