Woah. Woah. Let's be fair here. I was making a throw away joke here. I'm not a member of that generation of television of viewership. I had no say in the matter. That said, I too have been a victim of the fickle mistress known as network bullshittery. To this day it still pains me to think that Cartoon Network killed Samurai Jack before the story could ever be finished and replaced it with Yu-Gi-Oh of all things.

Would I take Twilight Zone over Hee Haw? I dunno. I've never seen either but I'm guessing the former was better than the latter. Am I surprised that a show like Gunsmoke performed better than Gilligan's Island when it took over its time slot? Yeah. Kind of. That tv series had been going since the '50s. Do I have a valid argument here? Maybe. But I wouldn't even know how to begin defending it.

But I must say sir, do not besmirch the good name of Green Acres. Eddie Albert and Eva Gabor were a wonderful comedy duo and as classic sitcoms go, that show is one of the better ones. Like The Dick Van Dyke Show, everyone on there seems to have a genuinely wonderful time enjoying what they're doing and it shows. I'd easily name it as one of my favorite sitcoms ever and I'm sure I'm not alone there.
