Reality TV sucks.
Spatial distortion is a serious problem deteriorating headphone listening.
Crossfeeders reduce spatial distortion and make the sound more natural
and less tiresome in headphone listening.

Three's Company is seriously one of the greatest sitcoms.

I agree. I also agree that it was one of the worst too. Its in a very special category IMO.


Also the worst but not the best:

Mama's Family

Damn, it looks like I'm gonna get thrown out of Rick's Café again!...because I'm gonna start a fight over these choices, Bogey: Chrissie alone makes Three's Company one of the greatest shows ever, and Green Acres: utterly surreal and wacky, with memorable characters. Is it stupid? You bet!  ;D

So, would you take a swing at me if I added this to the all-time worst list:

With this ine-up of Angels, no, I wouldn't. But if you include the season with Tanya Roberts in the worst instead of the best, you know we're gonna tangle!  (I've got a thing for Sheena ;D )

A pungent pox to the knave dissing Green Acres!!!   >:D

One of the worst shows ever was so bad the star refused to appear in it after one episode!

It involved classic comedian Jackie Gleason: a game show called "You're in the Picture" where celebrities stuck their heads into a cardboard cutout and tried to guess what they were in.  I remember watching this and thinking: "Why would Jackie Gleason do this show?"

The next week he came out and sat in a chair and told jokes for half an hour, saying that the game show in the previous week outdid the Pacific H-Bomb tests.  It evolved into a kind of talk show for a while, and was very funny: Gleason came back then with his variety show which included new skits of "The Honeymooners."

I nominate Star Trek for its infantile/stupid plots, scripts, and props.

I agree...Don deserves a medal for valor. As a soldier, I admire his courage and self-sacrificing gesture to draw fire so that others can retreat to fight another day.

Amazing how the show has not held up over time, in contrast to about 1/3 of the Twilight Zone episodes.

Of course, the original was never a big hit, and was usually in danger of cancellation.

In some cases - like the above - the old test pattern with the Indian chief in the middle is much more interesting!
