7:30 - BATMAN

The evening opens up with the conclusion of last nightís episode at the same bat time, same bat channel. Did the Dynamic Duo get frozen alive in a giant frosty freezy milk shake? Tune in and find out.

8:00 - CHEERS

Itís the place where everybody knows your name and nobody has anything better to do than hang out in a bar all night long and guzzle beer. We opt for the Diane Chambers years, of course, and ask that the post Sam & Diane episodes be kept in a safe place where we canít find them and run one by accident. Perhaps Veronicaís Closet would be a good hiding place. No one would ever look there.

8:30 - NEWS RADIO

In a perfect world, Phil Hartman is still alive, this series is moved to Thurday nights and it finds an audience because itís a funny show sandwhiched in between two other funny shows. Oh wait, this is LakinLand and it is a perfect world! Never mind.

9:00 - SEINFELD

Itís hard to pinpoint the exact moment when this show jumped the shark, but the episode where Kramer matched wits with a chimp might be a good place to start the investigation. Yet Iím willing to ignore the last few subpar seasons and an overlong final episode because the first four or five years of this series produced show after show of sitcom perfection. And as far as building new shows around former Seinfeld cast members - thatís a contest nobody won.

9:30 - THE LARRY SANDERS SHOW

Comedian Gary Shandling stars as the host of a fake talk show that has more laughs in thirty mintues than most real talk shows provide in a complete hour. Jeffrey Tambor is Hank "Hey Now" Kingsley, the pathetic boot licking sidekick and Rip Taylor is Artie, Larryís scene stealing producer, protector and confidant. Since this show was on HBOÆ, you donít have to worry about any real commercials interrupting the fun, just the fake ones Larry and Hank are forced to do for the Garden Weasel. And remember, Larry is very sensitive, so no flipping!!

10:00 - HILL STREET BLUES

The landmark ensemble police drama that somehow spawned Beverly Hills Buntz and gave Steven Bochco the courage to create Cop Rock. It also collected 26 Emmy Awards in its seven year run and was the first series to occupy the coveted 10 p.m. slot of NBCís Must See TV lineup.
