Anyone guess the runner up?

Sort of. That bunch was a botched experiment in directed evolution by the Vogons.

Yeah, you're right about that...sometimes recollection of passe humor (like "Alf") helps one realize that we are sometimes better as a society now than we were then.

I think that was Chickenboy's quote, Leo. I have nothing against Alf.


Yep... I realized that after I posted it... sorry...

Sorry, Leo.

I use Alf as an example of passe humor from two and a half decades ago. Anyone for "Different Strokes", "Welcome Back Kotter", or the "Cosby Show"? C'mon, man-they're dated. They're played, dude. Let 'em go...


Out of all those you listed I watched only "Alf"... and I did love it...

Furthermore, Coronation Street has a ways to go before it will beat out "Guiding Light" and "As the World Turns" for duration.  The former was on for 57 years (on TV since 1952), the latter first aired in 1956.  Coronation Street didn't start until 1961.  Noobs. 

ETA: I hadn't realized your underlying devotion to British daytime TV, Simon. Do you partake regularly of 'your stories'?

Has it always been thus or has it moved in the schedule, since we're picking nits and all.
