_Friends_

_Captain Kangaroo_

_Monty Python’s Flying Circus_

Honorable mention: _Seinfeld_, but there are still so many episodes I have not seen that I don’t need a reset just yet.

The Sopranos, The Wire, Breaking Bad, in that order, in a short span of time, so I could see TV as a medium become cinema’s equal in the 2000s.

> I loved The Rockford Files back in the day, and I remember that episode! It always makes me think of that one episode of Gilligan’s Island when they almost got off the island but Gilligan did something that ruined the plan at the last moment.

I remember that one! It was almost as good as the _Three’s Company_ where someone overhears part of a conversation, and misinterprets it!
