KABH - My Ideal Schedule

[Alan Brady's Hair]

I haven't updated this in several years, just adding it here to the new fantasy sub-forum. I'll make some changes as I think of them.

The schedule is all comedy and mostly sitcoms, from the early fifties to the 2010s.
Selections are done by season, so that if a show rolled on for years
after it stopped being funny, then the unfunny seasons are skipped
in the rotation.* The schedule is set up so that no show cycles
through more than four times per year, and in most instances less than that:
