    I prefer "brief" over "case"

    The White Shadow makes its bones, for my money, on one episode alone, that being where an agent is wooing Coolidge to go pro. Gives him the whole thing -- women, car, etc. What's hysterical to me is that this was on the air in the late 1970s and yet we are still supposed to believe that guys like John Calipari and Jim Calhoun are on the up-and-up.

    Beyond that, The White Shadow had some real character development.

    And I think I almost cried when Jackson got shot.

    No way can it be in the top spot, but I am always suprised when this show gets overlooked.

    Room 222 - one reason -- Karen Valentine.

    Oh, The Brady Bunch?

    Baby talk. Baby talk. It's a wonder you can walk.

    Mom always said, don't play ball in the house.

    And never wear a bracelet when building a card house.

    Welcome Back Kotter and Happy Days should be on that list over White Shadow.

    I'd put Welcome Back Kotter on there for the theme song alone. But come on, Happy Days over White Shadow?

    White Shadow has to be on the list.

    Got a VIP tour of Paramount Studios ago and they pointed out the tree where Peter dealt with the guy who was hassling Cindy. It was outside one of their administration building on the lot that also doubled as Jefferson High from Happy Days.

    You've got to be kidding. Most of the shows on the list are shit.

    "Happy Days" had a lot of shitty episodes (more and more in later seasons) but certainly no less by volume than most of those fecal-fests.

    I hope "90210" is shorthand for the original series Bevery Hills 90210, and not a reference to whatever that thing in they're running now.

    Which version of 90210 are we talking here?

    And how about "The Facts of Life"?
