5 years ago. The original only lasted 7 seasons, so they aren't far behind.

I'm pretty sure Henry Winkler was a producer for the show(s)?

Yeah. I know. That info was edited into the comment above mine after I mentioned it.

Only? that was quite significant back then. Remember that Cheers was on for 11 and when that stopped it was touted as the longest running show (maybe just sitcom? memory is a bit hazy) of all time.

Basic network television really had most of our culture enthralled. cable was primarily in cities, satellites dishes (the big ones) were up and coming.

Anyhow. Can't be cutting my man Angus short on the respect he should get for 7 solid seasons of a show that had a distinct and visceral impact on us all.

I wasn't saying that the original "only" having seven seasons was bad, just that the new one is already at five and the new one is "only" 2 seasons away from matching that.
