The Sopranos is excellent, as good as anything, and still going strong. This season Tony and Carmella accused each other of equating money with love, then sat silent in a weird Mexican standoff--both disarmed. It's fucking great. If anybody pirated the Simpson's parody of the Soprano's opening I'd like to splice it into my tapes of the shows. But I only see it on tapes. NYPD Blue reruns are good. Muppets are great, but hardliners always correct me when I say muppets and mean to include sesame street.

If you choose to watch Seinfeld you should watch all of them, since they are neither fiction nor non-fiction, but Reference. there's an episode for every occasion.

I can't watch Bonnie Hunt's new show but love her generally.

It's long lost, but my favorite show when I was growing up was Kolchak the night stalker, about a dweeby tabloid reporter in a white seersucker suit. All the outlandish stories were true, but he was perpetually thwarted by the government's determination to protect us all from weird information. Anybody remember that?
