Hollywoodchicago.com staff writer Evan O’Donnell has come up with his “Dream Network”. What are your thoughts? What shows would you include?
CHICAGO – Chicago theatre often surprises its audiences in the notorious fizzling summer months by providing us what I like to call “Christmas in July”. In this case, though, it’s August and Santa has hopped onto Route 66.
CHICAGO – Ah, it’s summer again. Kids in Chicago are playing in the Millennium Park fountains, teenagers are flooding in to see the latest cinema blockbusters and families are enjoying Lake Michigan’s beaches.

Gunsmoke? Really? And
Gunsmoke? Really?
And Father Knows Best? Come on.
Friends is Overrated. And why are you running 60 Minutes on a Friday night?
No Sopranos?
You have to include
How very vintage of you!
You have to include “Quantum Leap” and “Star Trek: The Next Generation,” too! I can do without “Married With Children”.
I agree...in part
TNG should have made it…however Married With Children was the longest running sitcom in the history of television
Still

Longest running? Really? I didn’t know that. Still, I never did get into the show and it wouldn’t make my list.
Interesting
EO’D, excellent exercise. Very impressed with your grid. Here is my humble opinion.
Kill Law & Order (too diluted), replace with Columbo
The Newhart reference was his second series, put in the “hi Bob” classic Chicago-based first series.
Rosesanne? Kill - Replace with the best of Happy Days/Laverne and Shirley (cheating)
Kill Married w/Children, replace with Herman’s Head (kidding)
Kill Dynasty, replace with Dallas
Kill Chicago Hope, Replace with St. Elsewhere
Father’s Knows Best, only on acid, Replace with The Jack Benny Show
Gunsmoke? Have I ever seen one episode (and I remember it being in prime time)? Replace with West Wing
Three’s Company twice (Tuesday & Friday)?!? I will barely let it in once. Throw in The Brady Bunch for grins.
McGuyver? Meh. Replace with The Twilight Zone
Dragnet, I don’t know, how about The Untouchables, The FBI or Hawaii 5-0
I will give you props for Get Smart, The Muppet Show, Green Acres, all great underrated shows. I agree that 60 Minutes belongs on Sunday, although your all animated Sunday should replace Chicago Hope with Family Guy.
I’ll leave them in, but Lucy, Beaver and The Honeymooners high praise era has passed. NYPD Blue stays only for their ass shots (female category) and where’s any classic variety (Carol Burnett, Ed Sullivan or The Bradys :o) or cult shows (The Prisoner, Monty Python, Doctor Who). We need to wait on The Office and 30 Rock.
Again, great debate exercise.

Oooo…. Twilight Zone.
Oooo…. Twilight Zone. Good call.
I think everyone agrees Gunsmoke should go.
What about a “Your Show of
What about a “Your Show of Shows” or some other Sid Caesar?
