Sitcom Specials

[Adamantium]

What sitcoms would you love to see either an "E! True Hollywood story", "TVography", "TV Tales", or "Inside TV Land" special on? I'd love to see specials on "Wings", "NewsRadio"and/or "Chico and the Man".

I would love to see a special on The Lucy Show that covers such issues that went on with the show:
~ Desi Arnaz as producer leaving the show
~ Looking closely at each of the six seasons
~ The decision to no longer allow the Lucy character to have boyfriends
~ Changing the show from black & white to color
~ The feuds that happened between Lucy and Viv
~ The addition of Gale Gordon to the show
~ Gale's relationship with Vivian and the kids
~ The original Lucy writers leaving the show/ the feud between Lucy and her writers
~ Ann Sothern's numerous guest appearances on the show
~ The change in Lucy's voice as the show progressed
~ Vivian Vance leaving the show and Lucy trying to keep her to stay on the show
~ The decision to dump the kids by the end of the third season
~ Vivian's Replacement
~ The Addition of Mary Jane
~ Candy Moore's personal expierence on the show and with Lucy and Viv
~ Jimmy Garrett's and Ralph Hart's expierence on the show and with Lucy and Viv
~ The later writers
~ Gary Morton's effect on the show and on Lucille Ball
~ Gary Morton's contributions to the show
~ The scripts of the later years of the show
~ feuds between Lucy and her guest stars and co-workers
~ Vivian's guest appearances on the show
~ William Frawley's guest appearance on the show
~ Mary Jane Croft's experience on the show
~ Lucie Arnaz's experience on the show and her relationship with her mother during that time
~ Gale Gordon's experience on the show
~ Ending the show
~ Why was the show so successful in the 1960's?
~ Where are the kids now in today's world?

I think there needs to be a special because there is a lot of material here.

An Inside TVLand for soaps would rock. They chronical the history of AMERICAN soaps. It would be like, they'd start off with the beginning of the genre then when they get to 1951, they can show one of the opening credits for "Search for Tommorrow" and they can have a 5-minute segment about the show; then when 1952 comes, they can do one for "Guiding Light" and they can do that for everytime they get to the premiere year of a famous soap opera. Here are some that'd they's probably do:

"Search for Tommorrow" (1951-1986)
"Guiding Light" (1952-)
"As the World Turns" (1956-)
"Edge of Night" (1956-1984)
"The Secret Storm" (1962?-1976?)
"General Hospital" (1963-)
"Another World" (1964-1999)
"Days of Our Lives" (1965-)
"Dark Shadows" (1966-1971)
"One Life to Live" (1968-)
"All My Children" (1970-)
"The Young and the Restless" (1973-)
"Ryan's Hope" (1975-1989)
"Loving" (1983-1995)
"Santa Monica" (1984-1993)
"The Bold and the Beautiful" (1987-)
"Passions" (1999-)

a two-hour special would be nice. They could also show clips from other soaps such as:

"Love of Life" (1950s)
"Strange Paradise" (1969-1970)
"Never Too Young" (1965-1966)
"The Doctors" (1963-1982)
"Another Life" (1982-????)

and from primetime soaps:

"Peyton Place" (1964-1969)
"Dallas" (1978-1991)
"Knots Landing" (1979-1993)
"Falcon Crest" (1981-1990)
"Dynasty" (1981-1989)
"Flamingo Road" (1982-1983)
"Twin Peaks" (1992-1993)

I guess I'll go somewhere and dream sicne this will never happen...
