After Friends moved to leadoff: Caroline in the City. I have not seen Stark Raving Mad but it sounds interesting, stars Tony Shalhoub between Wings and Monk and stars Neil Patrick Harris between Doogie Howser and How I Met Your Mother. Their best overall Thursday lineup was 1993 with Mad About You, Wings, Seinfeld, and season 1 of Frasier.

Yes that was an incredibly excellent lineup icecream. Caroline in the City as you noted was also great.

Of the series listed by opus, my favorite was The Naked Truth.

There are a lot of good shows to pick from, so many I can't pick just one so I'll list my top three favorites:

Suddenly Susan, Fired Up and Hope & Gloria.

Suddenly Susan of course starred Brooke Shields as a columnist for a magazine who leaves her wealthy fiancée at the alter. It was a breakout role for Kathy Griffin as a supporting character who worked at the magazine, and it was a memorable role for Judd Nelson.

Fired Up starred Sharon Lawrence and Leah Remini. Lawrence fresh off NYPD Blue played a corporate woman who gets fired from her job and starts a promotions business with her former assistant (Remini), whom she has to move in with. Mark Feuerstein co-starred as well.

Hope & Gloria was a sitcom about two best friends named Hope & Gloria; who are also neighbors.

Unfathomably, just 3 episodes of Newsradio first aired on Thursday night.
