and the CW admits they have the creative knowledge of a house fly… Cant think of 3 hours of ok television? cant compete with fox’s animation block? geez… there is nothing that women want to watch on sunday night… get your own Hill’s show… create a summer show about the hamptons… make a winter show on Aspen… get a wedding makeover show (have people apply and weekly redo some aspect)…

I’d love a classic David E. Kelley night:

- Ally McBeal
- The Practice
- Picket Fences (especially since it’s taking forever for seasons 2 - 4 to be released on DVD)

How about Sci-Fi Sunday - Preferred Plan:

- *Babylon 5*
- Farscape
- Alien Nation / Firefly (alternate since only one season each)

Sci-Fi Sunday - Plan B (not as good but acceptable):

- Highlander: The Series
- Quantum Leap
- Sliders

Or, ’80s Nostalgia Night - any three of the following:

- Airwolf
- Dukes of Hazzard
- Knight Rider
- MacGyver
- The A-Team

Or, ’70s/’80s Nostalgia Night - Family Version:

- The Carol Burnett Show
- Little House on the Prairie
- The Muppet Show

Or, ’80s Nostalgia Night - Animated Version:

- Transformers
- Voltron
- Robotech
- Starblazers
- Speed Racer
- G.I. Joe (I wasn’t a fan, but I couldn’t think of a better 6th one)

How about a miscellaneous but intriguing combo of:

- Gilmore Girls
- The O.C.
- The West Wing

Or, of course, a rotating roster of brilliant-but-cancelled shows (or at least shows that had potential) that could include:

- Alien Nation
- Brimstone
- Commander-in-Chief
- Crusade
- Firefly
- Jericho
- John Doe
- Journeyman
- Men In Trees
- Standoff

Thanks TVFan,

It’s a pity there are only three hours, otherwise I would include Buffy.

What about a classic male-female driven night: Northern Exposure, Moonlighting, Remington Steele?

There is no contest. If I had a spare $100 mil, I would make Sunday night - The All Whedon night - Buffy, ANGEL, Firefly and any future show Joss, Tim, Jane, Drew, David, et al wanted to do.

gadz,

that’s a great idea. Or how about a night of butt-kicking women

Alias, Buffy, Dark Angel

I think my ideal lineup would include an hour of classic comedy with Friends and Seinfeld, followed by the return of Jericho and Veronica Mars.

Stride Gum should buy Sundays. Oh, wait, they already own Smallville. Nevermind.
