Best T.V. Shows of all time

[Cosmic]

Carson was a master. Anyone who thinks today that he was just 'entertaining the old folks' has never really listened.

I prop "Hogan's Heroes" for many reasons (including Carol Kaye's picked bass for the opening theme) not the least of which was that quite a few of the actors who were, as the critics say, playing 'stereotypes' were in fact Jewish themselves, John Banner as Schultz being a notable example.
It could not be done today.

The Carol Burnett stuff... what to say. They managed 'raunchy' within the FCC limits better than just about anyone. Didn't mean that some of the best stuff is the cutting-room things we love.
'Siamese Elephants' anyone...
