Hey Beak, could you help me out? I lost me login ID to the Pyongyang Times website and I really have to consult the Dear Leader's speech for our next party meeting.

May I use yours?

You forgot two of the very best.

One was short lived and starred George C. Scott. The other, there's no excuse for not knowing.

For shows based in New York City, I would have to include The Jeffersons, and one of my all-time favorites-Taxi.
