Choosing any shows from tv history to mix and match, what would your personal best night of tv be? The only rules are that you must follow the basic unwritten rules of tv programming. 8:00-9:00 and 9:00-10:00 can each be two half hours or one hour long program. 10:00-11:00 must be an hour long. If the 8:00 slot is filled by an hour long show, so must the 9:00. If you insist, you can have a first-run syndication show at 7:00.
Or maybe the Fish Channel. Did anyone else have the Fish Channel? Classic music and the camera on a fish tank, 24 hours a day. I miss it, I really do. My cats loved it, too.
