SPEAKING OF SYNDICATION: The San Francisco Chronicle has this interesting article today making the very valid point that just because a show reaches 100 episodes (or even 200 episodes) doesn't actually mean it's any good. Among the examples they cite:
"CHiPS"--139 episodes of pure Erik Estrada goodness.
"Hangin' With Mr. Cooper"--101 episodes.
"Walker, Texas Ranger"--203 episodes from which the Walker Lever can select high-quality clips.
"Empty Nest"--170 episodes.
"Charles in Charge"--126 episodes of Scott Baio.
"Jake and the Fatman"--106 episodes.
Not mentioned, but worthy of snark--there are 195 episodes of "Matlock" out there. Grandpa Simpson must be very happy.
