DF, it''s so funny you posted this question--I was just thinking of asking the same thing today!

My favorite shows were Three''s Company (when I was little and too young to know what they were talking about...but I loved Chrissy played by Susanne Somers and her snort), My So-Called Life when I was a teenager, and after that really nothing because when I went to college I refused to have a t.v. because I knew it would keep me from studying (no joke!).

I agree, I never liked any of the "Chrissy" replacements, or her "cousins." I remember being so sad when John Ritter died a couple years ago. It was like a part of my childhood was gone. He was a fantastic comedian and such a funny guy!

I also never got used to Don Knotts instead of the Ropers. Norman Fell(?) was the quintessential cheapo landlord and played that part so well, ha ha!
