The Five: Favorite TV lineups of all-time
1. CBS, Saturday nights, 1970s:
Come on, how can you miss with shows like Bob Newhart, All in the Family, Mary Tyler Moore,
and The Carol Burnett Show. I think Carol Burnett was one of the first shows that my mom let me stay
up late to watch. 2. ABC, Friday nights, 1970s: The Brady Bunch and The Partridge Family. Yeah, that's right, The Brady Bunch and The Partridge Family! You got a problem with that? My sister and I would go down to the corner store and stock up on candy, chips, and ice cream, and then race home to watch Marcia get hit in the nose with a football. Good times.
3. NBC, Friday nights, 1980s: various shows on at various times, including Stingray, Riptide, Sonny Spoon, Private Eye, and Miami Vice. Still waiting for the first two to come out on DVD.
4. NBC, Wednesday nights, 1990s: Wings, The John Larroquette Show, Newsradio, Law and Order. I think Men Behaving Badly was in there at some point. I hated that show. The other three shows were on other days and times on the schedule too, but this was a fun lineup while it lasted.
5. NBC, Thursday nights, 1990s: Friends, Single Guy, Seinfeld, Caroline in the City, and ER: OK, OK, The Single Guy wasn't good, but Friends, Seinfeld, and ER are great, classic shows, all on the same night. Caroline? I think that show is kinda underrated. Not great, but entertaining.
