Favorite TV shows?

Post by wilson » June 1st, 2009, 10:40 pm

It's time for another of my "favorites" threads. TV shows this time. Let's say 7.
Here are mine, in alphabetical order:

1. The Cosby Show
2. Fraggle Rock
3. Looney Tunes (a bit of a stretch, I guess, but the shorts were aired in 30-minute chunks and billed as a television show in my day)
4. The Muppet Show
5. Reading Rainbow
6. Saved by the Bell
7. The Sopranos

No Sopranos? Walk the plank! :ar!

I fixed it, and adjusted the parameters of the assignment. Seven shows it is.

Daily. Well. . . except for this past year. Tivo remote is in storage and I can't get it set up. But, I could catch up in a few episodes and know exactly what is going on. I've posted on an ATWT messageboard since the advent of the internet. I've corresponded with a few of the actors and with the head writer of the show for a while. I began watching the show on a daily basis just before I started the 8th grade. Before that, I watched it sporadically with my great-grandmother.

Sue, you're really making me feel bad. Are you that disappointed in me, or are you just goading me toward 500? :(
