Live Magazine September 2017

ing or violence for the laughs, Still
watchable today - I should know, I
tape it on my Fetch TV and watch it
while eating dinner!
Frasier - Take Frasier out of the
bar in Cheers and set him up in Seattle
where he’s a radio host psychiatrist
helping callers who phone
in, living in a plush apartment and
having dad and his helper move in.
Add his eccentric brother Niles and
it’s another winner. It ran for 10 seasons
and was a must watch program
of the 90s.
LA Law - Add in a bunch of high
powered lawyers, office politics,
sexual adventures and a touch of
humour, mix that with the hot topics
of the times and you have LA Law.
It ran from 1986 to 1994.
Seinfeld - You can’t have a list
like this without Seinfeld. One of
the most brilliant comedies of all
time. Jerry Seinfeld plays himself
surrounded by kooky neighbour
Kramer, best friend George and exgirlfriend
Elaine. It ran from 1989 to
1998 and initially was not popular
with audiences. Lucky for us the
studio execs stuck with it and the
rest is history.
Friends - Maybe I’m wrong but if
my memory serves me correctly
there were two camps - Friends or
Seinfeld. Friends featured 6 New
Yorkers growing into adulthood,
beginning in 1994 and finishing in
2004, people grew up with Friends
and is still popular on Netflix today!
X-Files - for us here in the offices
of Live, you cannot possibly mention
nostalgia, TV or spooky stuff without
mentioning the X-Files. Chris
Carter developed the show which
ran, initially from 1993 to 2002, featured
2 movies (the first was great...
the second not so much) and recently
a short tenth season was
commissioned and well received by
fans, so much so an eleventh season
is being produced with both David
Duchovny and Gillian Anderson
onboard. Fingers crossed it turns
our better then some of the recent
episodes that were not as well received
as the original series. It’s 10
episodes and continues on from
the cliff hanger ending of the last
of series 10. One thing fans argue
about is whether Mr Carter himself
should be writing...? Whilst he was
the creator, the second movie and
some of the 10th season were, putting
it politely, not well received by
some fans and critics. The team
here at Live would also like to suggest
the Lone Gunmen be returned!
Stop Press: Rumour has it the Lone
Gunmen will be back!
