Oh, one more, and I bet I'm the only one who knows this one:

My Life and Times

It was part of the "dramedy" trend one season, ie a half hour drama series without a laugh track. The only successful half hour drama to come out of that was Doogie Howser, MD.

Anyway, My Life and Times followed the stories of an 85-year-old man in 2035 who told storeis of his life to visitors to his retirement home. There would be one story that happened in the San Francisco earthquake, and another during the second great depression of the early 2000's, the story of his hippy wedding to his first wife (Helen Hunt) in the 70's, and so forth. I loved this show (I was maybe 14 or 15) and it got two or three tryout episodes, then was moved around a few times, preempted, and shown two episodes at a time for a few weeks to use up the episodes.
