Best Must See TV Night - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

mstewart · 05-08-2002, 01:01 AM

So much talk about the upcoming special NBC have on 20 years of Must See TV. Here is what I thought was the best must see TV nights were by decade:
Early to mid 70's:
CBS Saturdays nights - All In the Family, MASH/Bridget Loves Bernie or/The New Dick Van Dyke Show, Mary Tyler Moore, Bob Newhart and the nightcap with Carol Burnett. Saturday nights during that time rocks.

Early 80's:
CBS Sunday Nights - Archie Bunker's Place, One Day At A Time, Alice and the Jeffersons closing it off with Trapper John MD

Mid 80's:
Thursday Nights NBC - Cosby Show, Family Ties, Cheers, and Night Court closng it off with Hill St. Blues or L.A. Law.

I welcome your postings

ABC Friday nights (TGIF) were my favorite TV night!

"Family Matters", "Perfect Strangers", and "Step By Step" made for a wonderful night of viewing.
