Default The greatest night of television ever...

You are given the magical powers to program one night of network television, from 6 PM through 1:30 AM and are able to draw on the resources of all recorded network television history. The programming is at your mercy -- you can go with a national news broadcast, a local news broadcast, syndicated shows, dramas, comedies, reality TV, variety shows, movies, awards shows, sporting events, whatever you'd like. You just have to fill 7.5 hours of programming to create the greatest night of television ever.

Have at it.

Dunno about time slots, are you guys putting any weight into that?

Let's assume three hours of programming time. Old school. 7-10 MST.

Cheers
South Park
The Simpsons
All In the Family
St. Elsewhere

Sure I could come up with others but those are shows I really enjoyed and fall into the classic four comedies followed by one drama scheduling.
