Monty Python and Monty Python's Flying Circus, Saturday Night Live, Letterman, Cheers. So, you know, early to mid 80s comedy shows were the ones that I was raised on.

I don't know. It's a good question. I mean, possibly. I mean, I kind of respected the choice to limit the amount of TV that we watched.
