I think yes and no for movies and TV. I don't think the audience is really "smartening up" on a wide scale like, but I do think that standards have been raised for the quality of TV especially. I feel like the standards of movies have been raised to the extent that they are visually more impressive at least, but then we get all these remakes so in the end they're only fulfilling in the short term. Nobody is going to look back ten years from now and say "God, I really want to watch the remake of Nightmare on Elm Street."
