It will rot your brain, Slackers, but who doesn't love some goold old fashioned network TV?

Remember every fall when they would announce the new tv season? It was always exciting to have the new episodes of our favorite shows, but what shows really ruled the airwaves for the season,

Not unlike professional sports, each TV season was actually a competition between networks, each vying for ratings dominance. I know that in the late 70s and early 80s, ABC was the dominant network, with shows like Happy Days, Laverne & Shirley, Three's Company, and Mork & Mindy. By the mid 80s, NBC would go on a big run, with shows like The Cosby Show, Cheers, Family Ties, and A Different World.

Surprisingly, many spinoffs actually outperformed the shows that launched them. And did you know that despite having the most viewed episode ever (at the time), M*A*S*H was never the top show of any season?

With streaming being the way most of us consume programming nowadays, this episode made me hearken back to a simpler time - The Big Three networks and the September through April program season. Then we took the summer off - and TV didn't matter.
