I used to watch Carson from time to time (after Dick Cavett's show was cancelled), but I never could get into Leno or Letterman. I'm usually snoozing up a storm at that hour. Much better way to spend one's time.

Referring to a comment by Rick Fielding wa-a-a-ay up yonder, if your local PBS affiliate ever carries "Yes, Minister" and/or its sequel "Yes, Prime Minister," dont miss it!! Besides being an absolutely hilarious show, it's the best tele-course I have ever seen on the way politics work. Four star. Two thumbs up. Highly recommended. They should show it in high school civics classes, so kids grow up knowing what politics is really all about.
