Love this quiz! Didn't realize Night Court was moved from Thursdays its last few years, but the 4 seasons when it followed Cosby, Family Ties and Cheers were the greatest nights of sitcoms ever!

You should accept L. A. Law or L A Law--the quiz didn't take either of those answers.

According to IMDb, Mad About You was on 1992-1999. I thought it was always on Thursdays. Does anyone else remember what other night(s) it was on? I loved that show.

Loved this quiz. Great memories. In regards to Debbie's question. Mad about you was all over the place. It started on Wednesdays it even went to Saturdays, back when it was ok to air new shows on Saturday. But after it's Thursday run, for the Most part Tuesday was the main day that it aired.

Love this quiz! Great idea, should totally be published...I had a hard time getting Jay Leno...I put Jay Leno and Tonight Show. So you may want to consider making other answers acceptable.

I believe Mad About You may also have been on Mondays in its last year or two, as they briefly made Monday a comedy block aimed primarily at females, in order to compete with Monday Night Football. Suddenly Susan and Caroline in the city were there as well, I think.

I can't believe how many easy ones I missed, such as Wings, Joey, and My Name is Earl, but I at least got Daddio, so I am happy. Has there ever been a bigger character shift than when Michael Chiklis went from Daddio to the Shield?

Wings was a great show, I'm bummed that I missed it. I thought for sure Third Rock from the Sun was on thursday nights, but I guess not. And how is it possible there are no Law & Order shows? Isn't that all NBC airs?

@Sobelberg: Community falls under the 2009-2010 block. If you notice the quiz was submitted in Feburary and hence that block hadn't been finished yet.

For the 10pm block in the 80s, I tried to remember what shows bored me to death as a kid. I remembered Hill Street Blues, tried St. Elsewhere, but forgot LA Law.

I always thought Must See TV applied to the Thursday night 8-10 comedy slots. I guess I misunderstood the marketing. Then again, I probably only became aware of this around 1995 at absolute the earliest.

Shouldn't the Jay Leno Show or whatever it was called that was on at 10 o'clock for five days a week be on here? It was short-lived but it should at least be a bonus answer.

@Doctor_Tom: the Jay Leno Show was the 2009-2010 season, which isn't listed here.

Technically 2009-2010 counts for 2009, I'd think. At least that's why I validate my brain repeatedly typing Community. That or I really want Season 2.

How the absolutely brilliant cult classic "Andy Richter, P.I." had only 4 episodes air, while the offensive-to-all-senses "Daddio" technically spanned two seasons, remains one of the greatest mysteries of television. I can only assume NBC is run by raging alcoholics who sometimes stroke out and forget to take their lithium. Also explains "Joey."

And people say American TV sux? Can't figure out why. (Then again, I don't see the British bombs; I only see the hits.)

Ah, of course I forget Will and Grace but I get classics such as Boston Commons and Jesse.

@Challie - Yes, Jesse was on during two different seasons. I remember them trying to save the show by getting rid of every character except Jesse and her boyfriend. Losing the racist father and the silent brother (who suddenly started talking partway through the show) was a good move, but not good enough to save the show.
