I\'ve never seen it. I wouldn\'t know what it was even if I watched a whole episode unless someone told me. Boy, do I know nothing about television! I\'ve heard of it, that\'s all.
Top TV Shows In Order Of Importance To Me:
1 Simpsons
2 Married With Children
3 News Radio
4 South Park
5 Daily Show
6 Late Night With David Letterman
7 Chappelles Show
8 All In The Family
9 Different Strokes
10 Family Ties
Honorable Mention TO ME : Seinfeld, Cheers, Perfect Strangers, ALF, The new show with Molly Shannon the kid from Mumsford and the guy from Fatal Instinct and Grease2
There\'s too many great Cosby Show\'s to name an absolute favorite, but you gotta love the episode where Theo and Cockroach are both supposed to shave their heads to appear in a music video, but Theo chickens out, leaving only Cockroach as an eight ball. I loved the Cosby Show when I was a kid and it\'s withstood the test of time. I feel the first four seasons were the show\'s prime. Great theme-music montages also.

Mr. Wizard! Awesome! that guy rocked. Wild and crazy kids was a fun one to watch way back in the day too. As for me (in no specific order)
1. Sportscenter
2. The Simpsons
3. Boy Meets World
4. Conan O\'Brien
5. World Poker Tour
6. ALF
7. Fraggle Rock
8. Fresh Prince of Bel Air
9. Rescue 911
10. Saved By The Bell (yes, and like everyone else in the world, I have seen every episode)
Nice choices anthbach! Rescue 911 is hard to turn off despite the flagrant exaggerations and dramatizations. (I really think a lot of them are total fiction too, or just blown WAY out of proportion.) Addicting though. And poker! Man, is it hard to turn that off! And of course Saved By The Bell, a show that touches the middle school heart like none other ever could...
I love the majority of what you guys do. But here is one you all missed:
Night Court
feel Gomez as Harry\'s father, remember his "holidays"
One word: COPS
and just for good measure, three more words: Who\'s the Boss?
Alyissa growing into a woman be4 our eyes. It was fun.
I assume everybody else will be like "what the
****?" but this is for you Mark, my fellow fan of Monty Python\'s Flying Circus:

REVIEW OF AUSTRALIAN WINES-MONTY PYTHON
A lot of people in this country pooh-pooh Australian table wines. This is a pity, as many fine Australian wines appeal not only to the Australian palette, but also to the cognoscenti of Great Britain.
"Black Stump Bordeaux" is rightly praised as a peppermint flavored Burgundy, whilst a good "Sydney Syrup" can rank with any of the world\'s best sugary wines.
"Chateau Bleu", too, has won many prizes; not least for its taste, and its lingering afterburn.
"Old Smokey, 1968" has been compared favorably to a Welsh claret, whilst the Australian wino society thoroughly recommends a 1970 "Cote du Rod Laver", which, believe me, has a kick on it like a mule: 8 bottles of this, and you\'re really finished -- at the opening of the Sydney Bridge Club, they were fishing them out of the main sewers every half an hour.
Of the sparkling wines, the most famous is "Perth Pink". This is a bottle with a message in it, and the message is BEWARE! This is not a wine for drinking -- this is a wine for laying down and avoiding.
Another good fighting wine is "Melbourne Old-and-Yellow", which is particularly heavy, and should be used only for hand-to-hand combat.
Quite the reverse is true of "Chateau Chunder", which is an appellation controle specially grown for those keen on regurgitation -- a fine wine which really opens up the sluices at both ends.
Real emetic fans will also go for a "Hobart Muddy", and a prize winning "Cuiver Reserve Chateau Bottled Nuit St.-Wogga Wogga", which has a bouquet like an aborigine\'s armpit.
Hey Mark, that\'s a great one and here\'s a quick sketch from an episode from 1970\'s Season Two, "How to recogize different parts of the body," which I recently watched:
THE MAN WHO CONTRADICTS PEOPLE
Talk Show Host (Michael Palin): With me now is Norman St. John Polevaulter, who for the last few years has been contradicting people. St. John Polevaulter, why do you contradict people?
Polevaulter (Terry Jones): I don\'t!
Host: But you... you told me that you did.
Polevaulter: I most certainly did not!
Host: Oh. I see. I\'ll start again.
Polevaulter: No you won\'t!
Host: Ssh! I understand you don\'t contradict people.
Polevaulter: Yes I do!
Host: And when didn\'t you start contradicting them?
Polevaulter: I did! In 1952!
Host: 1952.
Polevaulter: 1947!
Host: 23 years ago.
Polevaulter: No!
Dry and wry wit at it\'s best.
Pitch
Saw that one live at the Eric Idle show 10/21/3 Calvin Theatre; Northampton, MA. If I knew all the skits, I could taken down the complete setlist. Most were from the TV shows, only 1 or 2 from movies. Very funny show.
