ABC '81 for me -- Tuesday nights in particular were amazing, I never had to change the channel!

Thanks for the polls. They're good reminders of TV's great past...!

I'm definitely in on ABC of '81, simply because of Hart to Hart and Barney Miller (former in No. 3, latter in its final season), both of which I have really enjoyed (former from that recent No. 3 DVD release, latter from the full-series release).
