Top TV

[Mark A. Douglas]

Yes to many of these classics, and also:

Sports Night
 the Lance Henrikssen show by guy from X-files (how's that for knowing my
shit?)
Twin Peaks, of course
Hill Street Blues (for a while)
The Barney Miller Show (for a while)
The John Laroquette Show
Night Court
 the Dabney Coleman show about the news guy (?) in Buffalo...
[Anyone who wants to help with names...feel free...]
 Not Northern Exposure, but a show that came on at the approximately same
time period (annularly speaking, I mean)
 Ferndale USA

And, finally

Love, American Style.

My list feels cheap and used, sodden, almost.

Peace

Mark

How about 10 FAVORITE television series?  

Television is generally a guilty pleasure, but I've enjoyed (I'm not saying
they're somehow greatest [don't watch much television these days]) (in no
particular order):


Simpsons

Monty Python

Smothers Brothers

On the Air

Modern Farmer

Sherlock Holmes (Jeremy Brett)

The Prisoner (uncomfortably labored and self-conscious after all these
years, but it was the most paranoid show tv ever, which appealed to the
devious adolescent mind)

The Addams Family

Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In

The local shows were called that featured Betty Boop, Popeye, early Looney
Tunes or perhaps even darker animated cartoons (I remember an anteater)
