Forgive me my moment of pedantry, but Nureyev danced with Miss Piggy on
The Muppet Show.   Anyway, there is some good, even great TV, if you
know where to look.  Sesame Street two seasons ago had a great send-up
of Dr. Phil--an obtuse TV shrink named Dr. Feel.  I second Carl's
recommendation of SpongeBob.  And I am quite fond of the new Doctor Who
series.

And if you don't agree with me, Roseanne is in reruns on cable, and most
of Rocky and Bullwinkle is available on DVD.
