man it just shows you how hard it is to create something special. TV has been around for 50 years, think of the thousands of pilots made and those that actually got a shot on the air - and the best i can come up with is the same small group of ones that everybody else is saying - MASH, Cheers, All in the Family,

i loved Get A Life but it ain't in the class of the others people are mentioning. The problem with sitcoms is that they go on too long, plus they go into syndication so you can't avoid them - so shows that I loved for a few years, like Cheers, i begin to loathe. I think for about 3 or 4 years you couldn't write a better sitcom than MASH - but you couldn't pay me right now to sit through a MASH rerun - I'm MASHED out, , i'll prolly rediscover it in the future.

here's one that nobody mentioned - 'Taxi'. I loved that show, Danny DeVito as Louie DePalma was incredible, i'm laughing right now remembering one scene in particular.

And i grew up watching Leave it to Beaver reruns every noon, something about that show still fascinates me, that 50's America look and feel, the mom dressed immaculately every day wearing pearls to do housework, the understanding father, the innocent trouble the Beave and the rest of the kids would get into. Post war baby boom years America always fascinates me.

There are other old shows i never saw first run that I really have liked. Sgt Bilko used to play late at night where we had a summer cottage, i watched it with my Dad and it was a funny funny show. Munsters and Addams Family are so kitschy, so off the wall, that i really enjoyed them too. Get Smart could be brilliant, not hard to see why when Mel Brooks and Buck Henry created it.

Ok, everybody forgot a show that in junior high and high school was definitely my favorite show. It played during lunch hour so a bunch of us would go to one guy's whose parents both worked. house, get high and watch Hogan's Heroes. One of my best friends, did uncanny Hogan Heroes imitations. The best was his Colonel Burkholder. Makes me sad, my friend died almost 4 years ago now, only 33, a lawyer with 4 kids under 6 years of age.
