It's a distinct possibility - the Birmingham Science-Fiction Society, which I never joined but sort of orbited, had a distinct generation divide between the younger members who liked to read but were predominantly interested in Star Trek, Doctor Who, etc, and the elder statesmen who were centred around Roj Peyton and his magnificent bookshop Andromeda (sadly no more). They were pretty scathing about TV in general, apart from the single episode of Star Trek written by Harlaan Ellison, that kind of thing.
