I think I could easily sustain a prolonged obsession with Head of the Class, along the lines of my recent M*A*S*H obsession, were it not for the fact that this is only shown once a night, on Nick at Nite, at 4:30 a.m. I try to watch it every night, but sometimes I don't make it.

Which sucks, because that was a really good show. All hail the celebration of nerds.

I'd like to be in charge of programming at Nick at Nite. Out would go Coach, All in the Family would be kept to a minimum (once a week maybe), bye-bye to Wings. There would be a little less Cheers, a little more Perfect Strangers. A lot more Head of the Class. Slight lessening of Three's Company. More Family Ties, to be sure. Cosby Show would stay put. And I would add Facts of Life, Kate and Allie, a dash of Diff'rent Strokes and a pinch of ALF. Night Court would certainly be represented. And wherefore art thou, Mr Belvedere?

If I were in a Growing Pains or a Hogan Family or a Who's the Boss kind of mood, I might be charitable. Luckily, Golden Girls and Roseanne are adequately represented elsewhere, but I'd still add them to my lineup. I might run a few What's Happening marathons, but I've definitely been Family Matters-ed out; if I never get any more Urkel in my life, I'll be fine. I have no use for Silver Spoons, Bosom Buddies, or Webster, although the occasional Punky Brewster might be refreshing. But please: no Empty Nest.

Now my use of italics is really annoying me, so I'm going to stop talking.
