Whenever Friends would come up in conversation, a friend of mine liked to joke at the time that "I don't like Friends, but I really like Jessie." Was the latter an obvious ripoff of the former or something?

Working just missed the cutoff periodwise iirc. And I kept the qualifying hits because I love the idea of someone seeing Just Shoot Me or mad about you on a best of poll and voting for it

Wait I'm thinking of Coupling. Yeah Working must have been on another night

Wednesdays after the third rock from the sun it seems. Just found the Wikipedia pages for every years prime-time lineup. Sweet mama Jesus.

Kevin nealon and Richard Lewis are comedy writers "Hiller And Diller", by Lowell ganz and babaloo mandel, initially after home improvement, once after Sabrina the teenage witch, last four episodes unaired but plot descriptions on the show page.

Geez, and you still had to leave out a few shows to keep within the poll limits!

Was "Jessie" the Christina Applegate one? If so, that.

Naked Truth totally stunk in its conversion from ABC to NBC

Don't worry falling into a wormhole of forgotten programming from every night now - a proto Big Bang theory in 1995 called dweebs with Peter scholari, Corey Feldman, Stephen tobolowsky and Farrah forke from wings, aired before Bonnie and Picket Fences...must close...wikipedia

I voted for Veronica's Closet, but I've just gone to youtube and watched an episode for the first time in about 15 years and it's awful, I'd like to change my vote to Mad About You please

How'd I miss this poll. I swear I must have seen eps of at least 3/4 of these. Probably would have gone w/Mad About You cause every once in a while I see it on a nostalgia channel and it holds up surprisingly well.
