    Short memories

    It seems we have both critics and letter writers with very short memories. How likely is it that the two "best TV shows of all time" are on the air (or just ending) right now? Someone mentioned The Prisoner, but what about The Honeymooners (or are comedies barred from being any good, like at the Oscars)?

    Personally, no show has given me more 'moments' while watching than Northern Exposure. Best show I've ever seen.
