He invented the three camera system, which is indeed how sitcoms are done now. It was a great innovation.

That said, I find the show a strange combo of boring and annoying.

Working the night shift, with a TV only using rabbit ears, I have embarked on a 3AM study of this show. Not only the three camera system, the fact that Arnaz designed the 'live on tape' studio; the plot devices are still being used.

Lucy herself, however, yes.....

The most annoying character from Cheers. Never liked her much. I'm a Diane man.

haha, rebecca howe...gotcha. i was thinking that you were talking about a different spin-off that was from an even more annoying character. sorry about that.

i think everyone favored Diane.

Diane was funnier, but Rebecca was way, way hotter.

I remember one line where she talks about gyrating to Funky Cold Medina - Bing! Instawood!

Her voice was a pecker deflator to me. That grating squeaky warble, that somehow also managed to sound like a whine half the time and a bicker the rest, sounded like she went through 3 packs a day and ate the butts. Rebecca had great hair, but otherwise I never cared for her much. Her face didn't light a fire for me either.

I thought she was a huge let down after Diane, as was the direction they took Sam's character to fit hers.

Bring back Shelly Long! Is there still time?

CSI: Miami (seriously...does anyone like David Caruso?)

You mean "H"? With breathy soft-spoken lines like "Eric.........run" (right before an explosion), set to a sepia background of fine yachts, what's not to like?

You guys have no idea how lucky you are not to live in australia. At 6:30pm every weeknight we get 'Neighbours', and at 7pm we get 'Home & Away'. These are terrible local soaps that mass produce singers and wannabe singers. For some reason these shows are shown in many places around the world. Not even god knows why.

Edited to add, these shows have been running for a couple of decades. Unbelievable.

I've seen a few episodes of "Neighbours". It's strangely addicting. Kinda like "Eastenders". Those shows are 10 times better than any U.S. soap opera. Maybe it's just the strange foreign element.

There are lots of show that jumped the shark, but had some redeeming value at some point. So my vote goes to "Mama's Family". That character was so vile on "The Carol Burnett Show" that I stopped watching that. Then they gave her an entire series. Someone in Hollywood has to die for that decision!

Heh. Love it. Although is should actually be quoted as:

"Eric...("H" removes his sunglasses)......run"

My wife and I watch this show for Caruso's delivery.
The man is so bad it makes the show freakin' awesome.

Will and Grace. Talk about a show going for a cheap laugh about obvious sterotypes. This show is horrible.

Not to mention Debra Messing is way too skinny has no rack and is annoying as hell. God I hate this show so much how can anyone like it? Also don't get me started on the fat annoying chick with the high pitched voice, she makes Fran Drescher seem bearable.

And how can a gay person like this show? It just makes fun of them for stereotypes that many are trying to put to rest. What a useless bunch of garbage this show is, when will it stop airing.

Someone explain to me how arrested development gets cancelled and this load of dog crap can stay on my tv? We are one stupid country if people prefer the cheap laugh of this show to a quality one.

P.S. I hate everybody loves raymond as well but for some reason I find the mom really hot (I have no idea why)

Definitely MASH. Simply knowing how much better the movie is makes watching the show that much worse.
