Every decade seems to have that one tv lineup that just hits different.
This one has to be up in the top five or three at least. Where do I start?,..... Family Matters to Boy Meets World, to Step By Step to Full House, this lineup wasn't your average like up. It was a fluke, a one hit wonder. There will never be one like it again. So peopleam I mistaken, or am I on to something here? What says you?

The NBC lineup in the mid to late 80s was beast mode. People literally didn't do anything else on Thursday nights.

Your mistaken.
They don’t put GOAT on Friday nights.
Key demo goes out.
And, quite frankly, all of those shows sucked.

Edited to correct, they still suck.

No. The best lineup was in the mid to late 90s on NBC “Must see TV” Thursday.

Seinfeld
Friends
ER

Other shows would be included ( Mad About You, Will and Grace, Single Guy) but those 3 dominated the mid to late 90s.

It's kind of a shame there are SOOOOOO many different shows channels, online subscriptions, etc these days.

Although lots of options are great I guess, the shows were better back then and people all watched the same thing so everyone could discuss the shows with others.

Nowadays conversations like that with coworkers, friends, and family tend to lean more to everyone trying to convince everyone to watch what they watch.

"Have you seen such and such, you should check it out" all the while you are thinking I already have 5 or 10 shows I don't have time to watch.

Incorrect. Miami Vice is the GOAT and was on Friday nights. People stayed in to watch and then went out.

Some absolute GOAT lineups - all 4 of those are in the running for GOAT.

Cheers
Night Court
Hill Street Blues


I grew up on this one so, admittedly, this is my personal favorite.

Night Court was my favorite show as a kid (which probably explains my sense of humor, and why Conan O'Brien is still my favorite late night host of all time)

NBC Thursday night “Must-See TV” lineups in the 80s and 90s are unbeatable. Period. End of discussion.

Cheers, Cosby, Night Court, Wings, Hill Street Blues, LA Law, Seinfeld, Friends, ER, etc.

My main memory was of "Columbia" at the start of the credits, breaking out into a dance.
