Where Knowledge Junkies Get Their Fix
With The Office back on tonight (”Kevin, that’s a button”) it’s time to talk about Thursdays on NBC. Of course, even before there was Must See TV, there were great prime-time shows lined up on the major networks, back-to-back-to-back…
See how well you know your TV history by putting the shows in order from 8-11pm. The networks often juggle shows around mid-season, but these stayed put during the seasons indicated (more or less) – they’re amazing lineups that have been cemented in television history.

Good GOSH! Like beth, I got 9 out of 10 only missing the 77-78 ABC season….interestingly, my sophmore year in college when I had my first experiences with alcohol!

6 out of 10, not too shabby. Almost always, the hour-long show came last. In the “old days” the most-family-friendly show came first. I would have liked to have seen some from the 60’s. I can almost remember the nights that Batman and the Monkees came on…
(or Star Trek, Dragnet, et al)

7/10 – not bad considering that I was younger than 10 or not alive for all but 3…

1 out of 10. My saving grace was that I remembered that “Friends” came on at 8pm (even though I never really watched it).
I wasn’t born until ‘84, so that’s my excuse.
