Recommended Posts



There's a woman ego talks like Edith here at work. It's hilarious. But I came to appreciate the show a ton more when I got older

 

Absolutely.  I have recently (two or three years ago) watched some of the show in syndication and it's quite risque in a lot of ways.

Cheers is an American sitcom television series that ran for 11 seasons from 1982 to 1993. The show is set in a bar named Cheers (named after the popular toast) in Boston, Massachusetts, where a group of locals meet to drink, relax, and socialize. The show's theme song, written and performed by Gary Portnoy, and co-written with Judy Hart Angelo, lent its famous refrain, "Where Everybody Knows Your Name", as the show's tagline.

Cheers made my top 5.  So funny.  If you didn't watch Cheers this won't be funny but if you did, one of the funniest scenes in the entire series is when Frasier sees Diane again for the first time since she ditched him.  Start at 23:40 of the video.  

 

"WELL YOU NEVER HURT MEE!!"

The Twilight Zone is an American television anthology series created by Rod Serling. It is a series of unrelated stories containing drama, psychological thriller, fantasy, science fiction, suspense, and/or horror, often concluding with a macabre or unexpected twist. A popular and critical success, it introduced many Americans to serious science fiction and abstract ideas through television and also through a wide variety of Twilight Zone literature.
 
2 Emmy Awards (me thinks)

For as big a conspiracy guy as I am, I am ashamed to admit I haven't seen one episode of the X-Files.

I have only seen a couple episodes myself. Everyone I know is shocked about that but I just never had a chance to get into it
