Gray’s Anatomy--never seen it
Desperate Houswives--never seen it
Will and Grace--never seen it

Gunsmoke--I've seen a couple of reruns. Horrible show. Basically a corny drama set in the west. you can have it.
Get Smart--camp humor only goes so far. couple of good gags here and there.
Wild Wild West--never seen it

Truthfully, I don't really watch tv shows. I find them to be a waste of precious time. I like movies, and the movies I like are often times not rated G. I watched "Millers Crossing" on tv last night for the umpteenth time. Great movie, great cast, definitely not wholesome.

I can understand nostalgia for wholesome shows. When I was a kid in the 70s, we had The Waltons and Little House on the Prairie. I don't really think that kind of thing sells anymore. It's not like tv networks are jamming stuff down our throats. They have to get ratings to succeed. The customer decides. Free market and all that. I think that tv is a reflection of our culture, not the other way around.

Micheal Medved has a great analysis on Hollywood and why they have so much sex and gratutious violence. You’d be suprised at the economics of R versus G and PG rated films and shows.
