   I take (small) pride in the fact that I was one of the few who watched    
   "Cheers" from the beginning.  IIRC, it was one of the shows TV Guide    
   referred to as "Best Shows You're Not Watching," until it caught on.   
      
   I'll give 5-0 a couple more watches.   
      
   Just watched "Boardwalk Empire" premiere.  Good....... but not great.    
   Enjoyed it, but it hasn't REALLY grabbed me yet.  Again, just the pilot,    
   even if it is directed by Scorcese.  Then again, B5 took until  "And the Sky    
   Full of Stars" to really grab me.  OTOH, Deadwood and Carnivale each had me    
   from Ep 1.   
      
   We'll see...
