These retro shows have been producing big ratings

Not just the new ones. People have given up Cable TV in droves and gone to the antenna. We're watching the actual old shows.

Situation comedy is about respecting that different people have different weaknesses and different views. It's about laughing about these variations together; it's about acceptance. Modern "comedy" has become The Thought Masters demanding correct thought and perfection by their standards.

Add to that, TV's violence is beyond disgusting. That constant barrage of violence isn't even close to entertaining anymore.

If Rosanne can get people to laugh with each other instead looking down at each other, good for her!

It’s truly the only TV I watch unless there’s an unsolved murder mystery to solve.

I’m a ‘newbie’ to shows like CSI (all of them!) and Blue Bloods and Law & Order.

Of course, I NEVER missed an episode of Magnum, P.I. Wherever we were in the world, we three Army Gals (still my BFFs 30+ years later!) would set aside Wednesday nights to watch Selleck, do our nails, gab on the phone and have a glass of wine. :)
