LH, I agree on Hogan's Heros, but it is not the only sit com that I detest. Seinfeld, Friends, Malcolm in the middle, Everyone hates Raymond, the list is endless. Canned laughter and juvenile predictable "humor." I've never been bored enough to watch any of these turkeys all the way through. Mediocrity knows nothing higher than itself.
None of this kind of pap will ever equal "Barney Miller."
