Dallas
The Simpsons
Band of Brothers

That's about it.

My grandma watched Dallas religiously during its original run.
""Money doesn't come into it. It never has. I do what I do because it's all that I am." - Morrissey

"Lacan stressed more and more in his work the power and organizing principle of the symbolic, understood as the networks, social, cultural, and linguistic, into which a child is born. These precede the birth of a child, which is why Lacan can say that language is there from before the actual moment of birth. It is there in the social structures which are at play in the family and, of course, in the ideals, goals, and histories of the parents. This world of language can hardly be grasped by the newborn and yet it will act on the whole of the child's existence."

What did she think of Falcon Crest and Dynasty?

Never saw those on. It was Dallas and Dukes of Hazzard, as far as I knew. Wasn't there every night.

Never seen that one, but I think I saw every episode of "Little House on the Prairie" when I was a kid. Knight Rider, Alf and Saved by the Bell. Cheesy shit. :-D

Little House on the Prairie cracks me the fuck up. Pure camp. I watch it to this day.

Grandma also loved The Golden Girls, natch. I'm still fond of that show.

For "best," though, I'm rubbing my greedy mitts together for that Strangers w/ Candy DVD coming out later this month.

I think Larry David is the only person who's ever made a TV series worth watchin. Seinfeld and Curb Your Enthusiasm are my favorite tv shows of all time. Well, and maybe Leave it to Beaver for some reason. But Larry David is just great. Perfectly normal guy.

Everybody's picking comedies... what about "Boomtown", "Homicide: Life on the Street", "Once and Again", "West Wing", etc.?  Week after week of better drama than 90% of the movies that get put out.

Quote from: polkablues"Once and Again"
Is this the one where John Goodman's brain is put into a genetic super soldier or the drama about the couple? I always get those two mixed up.
Yes, to dance beneath the diamond sky with one hand waving free, silhouetted by the sea, circled by the circus sands, with all memory and fate driven deep beneath the waves, let me forget about today until tomorrow.

Heat Vision and Jack

An astronaut (played by Jack Black) with a medical secret is on the run from his evil employers with the help of a talking motorcycle called Heat Vision (voiced by Owen Wilson).
Christopher Nolan's directive was clear to everyone in the cast and crew: Use CGI only as a last resort.

Six Feet Under has great drama AND comedy, and is the very best live-action show currently on the air.

I like The West Wing a lot, also.

I saw that at a film festival... this does not count, however, because it never aired.  It was just a pilot.

My gawd, it would have been great though.

Funny shit.
