This week, I actually found an episode of M*A*S*H on my dish. It's honestly been a long time since I've watched this, but I grabbed a Pepsi and started watching.
For those who don't know, M*A*S*H is a show about a bunch of Army doctors that are stationed in North Korea during the Korean War. There were multiply story lines that followed through out its historic run of 250 episodes.
After watching M*A*S*H, it's clear to see how much the television "world" has evolved. From shady special effects of the olden days to optimal special effects of today. Comparing the two would be like comparing a hotdog (M*A*S*H) to a steak (todays shows). The evolution of special effects and graphical overlays have come a long long way. From the original King Kong, to the new King Kong. It's clear to see the difference.

I think what you state about trying to make a comparison is true based on technological advances in graphical display. I think that today our expectations are so much higher than they were back than because we are aware of what can be done with technology. The more realistic the graphics, the better we can relate because it's closer to reality. However, do you think we are more entertained today because of these dramatic visual enhancements than people were 30 or more years ago?
