In college we would skeedaddle from the dining hall back to the dorm room of the one person who had a tv (me!) and watch "Bart" as we called it on rabbit years while munching on whatever we managed to smuggle out of the dining hall. Typically this was tea and cookies (one of my roomies was Irish). <br /><br />When I was in middle school I never missed "Miami Vice." That's almost embarrassing now. And prior to that it was "Friday Night Videos." FNV was NBC's answer to MTV (back when MTV showed music videos and not everyone had cable). The last program I can recall being so addicted to that I made sure to watch it when it came on was... um... I don't recall. Honestly, I have no idea. When I would have watched a lot of things I was living in Sweden and I didn't have any favorites there. Now, I have tivo. "Three Sheets" was the last program which I had it record automatically, but I lost my taste for it after I saw Zach Lamprey live.<br /><br />1. Stevie Ray Vaughn, "Cold Shot"<br />2.

Seriously, for it's time the genius of that show was Arrested Development-esque. Phil Hartman (RIP) at his smarmy best, Andy Dick when he was still funny, and Stephen Root, Stephen Root, Stephen Root.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10189606473359697460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11250715.post-59426006846685320292010-09-24T08:37:39.207-04:002010-09-24T08:37:39.207-04:00Clearly I should have watched Murphy Brown before ...Clearly I should have watched Murphy Brown before applying to Grady.
