HypersapienWhen I was a kid I identified old TV shows because thet were black and white.

This is actually because our microphones became better
Why we all need subtitles now
It's not you — the dialogue in TV and movies has gotten harder to hear.Subscribe and turn on notifications 🔔 so you don't miss any videos: http://goo.gl/0bs...
Sure, microphones got better but there is more too it. One huge factor is the mixing for cinemas and not for home theaters or worse for TV speaker.
No, the video actually goes into that. Directors think it’s “more real” to have mumbled dialogues. But they seem to misinterpret that as “more mumble = more good”.
CeruleanRuinIt’s a combination of that and studios mixing the end result for the highest end sound setups, which most people don’t actually have. If you’re lucky enough to have a full surround with the ability to properly dial in equalizer and other settings, you probably won’t have a problem hearing the dialogue even when it’s mumbled. But on conventional tv speakers, it can easily get lost in the mix.
This video was exactly what first came to mind when I read “badly understandable dialogues”! It bothers me that as we got better mics, the actors became more unintelligible instead of the other way as one would predict.
