There was one where Earl was trying to propose a toast and he was tapping a spoon on his (paper) cup. Joy whispers, "It ain't makin' no noise, Shoog..." Cracks me up every time I think about it.
I'd add Harry O to the list. David Jansen was the star on that one. The Fugitive was another he was in that was great.

The biggest problem our country has is not systemic racism, it's systemic stupidity.
Rockford Files, The Unit, Last Man Standing,China Beach, Hill Street Blues, the original Magnum P.I. There have been a lot of good shows and some not so good but it’s been mostly entertaining. Tastes have changed through the years and it’s interesting to see the differences in what is appealing to others. Just remembered another from my childhood, I always enjoyed Mission Impossible.
Its not always easy to do the right thing, But it is always the right thing to do.
And one of my favorites. That was a great show. And some damn funny schitt. “The Ranch” on Netflix was great until they killed off Danny Masterson’s character. Of the old shows: Cheers, Frazier, and Seinfeld were the best comedy’s. . Rockford Files, Magnum PI, Miami Vice, and NYPD were my favorite series.
Of the new stuff, Seal Team Longmire Yellowstone They took the best new comedy off TV. Tim Allen’s “Last Man Standing”. The Network Executives with TDS Killed it.

Love WKRP. Johnny talking about the "phone cops" was a great two-parter, also when he and Venus were testing their reflexes while drinking. Otherwise,
Have Gun Will Travel Gunsmoke Hawaii 5-0 (Jack Lord, of course) Adam 12 (my 17 yo daughter and I watch together) Andy Griffith The Beverley Hillbillies Hogan's Heroes Get Smart
No particular order and I've probably forgotten some.
Newhart, Cheers, WKRP, MASH(first four seasons), the Office, and The Carol Burnett Show were all comedy gold. Magnum PI, Simon&Simon, The Rockford files, and Northern Exposure we’re all great.
Hill Street was a favorite of mine....especially use to drool over Joyce Davenport as the Attorney.
I watched the pilot of Hill Street. Talk about a shock factor at the time.... I knew right then and there, this thing is going to be a big hit, or will never see the light of day again, because it was too hard hitting and closer to real life than anything of a cop show ever, up until that point....
Compliments to the posters on the thread... a lot of good stuff mentioned...
I read this thread for an update ( turns out to be a good one)... but then on the TV my wife is watching.... Her is a commercial for " The Mask Singer", and something about Adults and Legos....TV nowadays, can't compete with the shows we have enjoyed in the early times in our lives.

I liked Burn Notice, particularly Jeff Donovan as Michael Westin and Gabrielle Anwar as Fiona Glenanne, but I'm not sure how much I like Donovan in his new roll as Detective Frank Cosgrove in the new Law & Order series.
