I'm late watching it, but OMG....The Eighties...Who Shot JR....MASH, Hill Street Blues....

Dallas’s Who Shot JR, was the top rated show at the beginning of the 1980’s …..Mash also ended. 123,000,000 people watched the ending of MASH. Wow, 3 networks to watch….. Who ever thought we’d have a bazillion new things to watch anything on now.
