LOL! Nice lyrics. And how does a golfer get a groin injury? Insert your own punchline.

Ironically I just got back from golfing nine holes. It gets cold and dark so early now. Fall is here. I just feel like curling up in my Lazyboy and watching some Must See TV. Maybe Cheers, Seinfeld, Taxi...take your pick. What was your favorite year?

1980 was the year that Brandon Tartkoff took over as the head of entertainment at NBC, and it was his skills in choosing shows and slotting shows (as the director of programming) that helped NBC evolve from the drivel they were showing at the beginning of 1980 into the powerhouse comedies and dramas that have helped define popular culture for the last twenty years.
