Second City Television (1976 - 1984)		I've probably watched the "Maudlin's Eleven" and "Vic Arpeggio: Private Investigator" segments over 200 times (each!) and laugh hysterically at them every time as if seeing them the first time. This series was a gift from heaven. Joe Flaherty is one of the most underrated comic geniuses ever. And get a load of the Skip Bittman (Rick Moranis) stand-up comedy warming up "The Danny Thomas Show", brilliantly inept!

The Dick Van Dyke Show (1961 - 1966)		Watched some interviews with cast members and apparently the character of Alan Brady was based on Sid Caesar and of course Rob Petrie was based on Carl Reiner himself (Reiner was a comedy writer on Sid Caesar's "Your Show of Shows" and Caesar's Hour.) Hard to imagine Caesar being THAT difficult, but it must be true. I wonder what his reaction was to this characterization.

The Smith Family (1971 - 1972)		@23skidoo...
Yeah, that's correct...but also incorrect.

I hate the fact that the genre is called Children & Family, as if the two are the same. Many children shows (ie, Barney, etc.) I would not consider family by any stretch of the imagination; at the same time, there are countless family shows that are explicitly not categorized as children. I really wish that the "children" part of the genre was purged since it misrepresents so many shows (and movies over on the Cinema world). So, in this case, family is very much a unifying thread throughout the show, but children...erm, no.

Oh, and the family part of the show is one of things that makes this show unique, since so many episodes intersect Chad's family life with his work (ie, his teens protesting and having friends getting mixed up with drugs, etc.)
