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

Another golden age was during the “rural purge” in the early 1970s. Shows like Mayberry RFD and Petticoat Junction were canceled and replaced with The Mary Tyler Moore show and All In The Family. This is when the reign of Norman Lear began.

It lasted a good long time until ABC introduced “Jiggle TV” with Charlie’s Angels and Threes Company.

Later we’d get the era of prime time soaps in the 1980s with Dallas, Dynasty, Falcon Crest, and many others.
