Programming Note: I'll wrap up this season next Tuesday or Wednesday. This week is the rest of March and April; next week is the three weeks in May.

MUST SEE TV, 13 March 1986
(Week 25; ratings ranking out of 69 programs)

What Else Is On TV
—Rick & Morty coverage…??
—Morning: Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy on Disney XD, Tales of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles on Nickelodeon, and Close Up With The Hollywood Reporter on Sundance.
—Evening programs include but are not limited to: Chesapeake Shores (season premiere), Claws , Hotel…

I think a lot of it is on YouTube, but I'm not sure how complete the uploads are.

I thought so, too. But if The AV Club said that Kinja isn't arriving until later in the fall, I'd probably finish the season because I'd like to see the end Family Ties' Thursday run. Also working in its favor: it was the highest-ranked comedy lineup for NBC until the 1990s.

Do you plan to start Roseanne before it returns?

Amadeus300(2)’s Classic TV
Though there’s no Must See TV today, I intend to wrap up the 1985-86 season before the 15th. (Originally, I planned to be done last week.) At this point, I’ll start the fall 1986 season shortly thereafter but likely probably stop once I get into the L.A. Law era. It seems like a decent end…

Always Absent, Always Noteworthy
—Wynonna Earp and the (series-ish) finale of The Great British Bake Off

Do you have an anticipated completion date for NE?

I'm sure you could get Roseanne DVDs through a loan program at a local library. A Different World plays on a over-the-air Bounce network, but it's not widely available — I can't get it through my cable provider even though it's available. There are a couple ADW torrents out there, but I'm not sure how reliable they…

Great to see A Different World on a streaming service again. But these Carsey-Werner shows were on Hulu until last fall, and Amazon began streaming The Cosby Show a month or two ago.

Nice to see NBC hasn't learned its lesson after signing that big six-year contract extension for Jimmy Fallon and The Tonight Show, who's taken a hard ratings tumble this year. (Or NBC pulls a Vinyl — or a Hindsight — and somehow abandons this extension.)

Bring back the mothership series!

MUST SEE TV, 6 March 1986
(Week 24; ratings ranking out of 69 programs)

Absent, but Noteworthy
—Series premiere of comedy anthology The Guest Book on TBS
—Whose Line Is It Anyway? moves to the night

I know! I was on mobile and just copy-pasting something from the Disqus channel.

I lost my Internet capabilities for about 90 minutes tonight — just got it back not long ago. So Must See TV will wait until tomorrow night. Damnit. I'm tired.

Oooh. I forgot I saw Young Frankenstein on Halloween night — die hardest of fans — and Blazing Saddles to a near full theater.

My dad was near 30 and still talks about how awesome that moment was. You're not alone.

The first time the local theater played it (2012-ish), the evening show sold out and they were turning people away. Seeing it in a packed house was one of my favorite theater experiences.
