I can’t remember the names, the actress who played the oldest daughter is a fading starlet. The parents were played by people who had roles in Star Trek I and Star Trek IV respectively.

Yeah, I only watched Newhart in syndication for some reason, and wound up missing the finale because I gradually lost interest in the show — but I found the entire final episode (as well as some highlights) on YouTube onetime. Having Suzanne Pleschette come back for that was perfect.

How about a compilation of guys getting hit/kicked/slammed in the testicles

I thought that was "America's Funniest Home Videos".

Seriously.

Something non-gay would be a start.

exactly...

I’m tired of all the canned laughter, stupid one liners.. it’s all crap. I did love the Seinfeld show -—good writing.

I don’t watch any of it.. I watch Jeopardy, movies and if no movie catches my eye, nothing.

-—over and out ——

Notice how in the great wisdom of the universe, Adrienne Barbeau and bra burning arrived together at precisely the right moment in time?

A plane load of democrat congressmen crash lands on a desert island and they have to se their “wits and ingenuity” to survive. Two episodes later the ones who haven’t been killed and eaten die from stupid jackass-style accidents.

That reminds me of the SNL skit "Wake Up And Smile!", wherein a teleprompter failure turns a morning news show into The Lord Of The Flies:


"Make the words come back...Make the words come back..."

Yes, Seinfeld was in a class of its own. Inanely stupid, but artistically so.

Here’s my suggestion: Stop filling your sitcoms with filthy jokes.

“At least Maude had Adrienne Barbeau.”

So important a fact in the history of communications that I felt compelled to restate it.

She was EPIC. I would sit through that horrid thing waiting for a glimpse of Barbeau growing up.
