Nick at Nite used to be the Ultimate.

They had a nice balance of Cosby Show, Cheers, Coach and Family Ties. At one point, Coach replaced all of Family Ties and it was the triple-C classic lineup of Cosby, Cheers and Coach.

I survived the onslaught of Wings, followed by the Who's The Boss attacks.

I came through relatively unscathed. In the interim, Roseanne appeared. Coach and Cheers were replaced by Fresh Prince.

That's okay. I can roll with that.

A few months ago, A Different World showed up on the scene. I was thinking this would be a good addition. After all, it was a Cosby spinoff and I used to watch it a lot when I was a kid. Anyway, it turned out to be a turd. A big, patronizing turd parade of early 90's "issues" that look vain and out of place on a sitcom.

Anyway, in spite of this, I can still get with A Different World because of D'Wayne, Ron, Oak and Mr. Gaines. Especially Mr. Gaines. That man should have his own talk show.

It's been tough, but I've stuck with Nick at Nite through good times and bad.

Now, they're showing Designing Women.

Designing Women.

I don't know if I'ma make it through this one.
