Technically you are right, but the only place I've watched them has been on T.V. AMC shows them. link. In my post I clarified that the list was of the best.

The 50s were the golden age of tv, hands down. But the last ten/twenty years have been the best and the worst. Best because cable has made everyone up their game and we have gotten brilliant tv like Breaking Bad from this. But worst thanks to the crap called reality tv. Has anyone ever seen Bad Girls Club. hands down the worst piece of crap ever put on tv. Find girls who like to fight and are proud of being "bitches" and put them together in a house so they can fight and curse at each other non-stop. Yup. Let's reward these people with fame and fortune and give any little girl who might tune to this circus a really great role model.
Nothing can touch Children's TV of the 80's.
I prefer 10's comedies at the moment though. e.g Modern Family, 30 Rock, Parks and Recreation etc.

They were theatrical and the Stooges didn't get a dime when they were re-released for television kid shows in the 60s.
I would my favorite say in the 90's + 00's with Firefly, Buffy and almost anything with Josh Whedon directing.
However the rise of anything today with fake live action is total rubbish.

Worst:
Today - 8:30 PM to 10:00 PM UK; not content with Saville, the BBC will be serving up - Miranda, Big School, and Mrs Brown's Boys.

I'm a product of the 60s/70s so my favorite TV memories are from that time frame.
I remember watching saturday morning cartoons in the 70s that you could never see now a days - deemed too violent or something like that. Yet most of us who watched them seemed to turn out ok.

I'd say the late 80's to late 90's was the best decade for children's TV. The Real Ghostbusters, Ducktales, Tailspin, Rescue Rangers, just about all of Nickelodeon...
...maybe it's the nostalgia talking, but that whole decade was bottled lightning for anyone growing up during that era. I think we're the one generation that ended up being the most obsessed over our long lost childhoods, practically to the point where we're unwilling to let it go completely. There has to be a good reason for why that is.
Those Warner Brother's cartoons from that era, though almost all the good ones were made in the late 1950's, were absolute classics.
Accessibility is a gift and a curse. Television programs are more available, and half of them are good and the other half sucks.
