What TV show would you want to live in?

My initial thought was Buffy, but I think all the vampires and demons might be a little too dangerous and I'd get eaten up. Then again, the Slayer (almost) always succeeds.

I can't picture any black and white TV show I'd like to live in, except for the Twilight Zone or Outer Limits and that could get really weird really fast. Could be nice to be Lucy or Ethel's neighbor, purely for the gossip.

Eight Is Enough? Nah, I'd pee myself waiting for a free bathroom.

NONE of the CIS shows, no way, no how! Too much dying violently going on.

Doctor Who could be a real blast! Sucks when the universe is always about to be destroyed, though. And the Daleks are reallllllly annoying.

Still thinking, curious what others might choose

Unless you are reasonably old you'd probably not be aware of mine, it is the old "Taxi" series from 1978 to 1983. Most of the characters work for the NYC cab company, much of it takes place in the garage, and all the characters are great, and none of them get killed. So it would be a fun, safe series to be transported into. As a cab driver.

Chris Lloyd who later was great as Doc Brown in the BTTF movies was Jim Ignatowski, who took that name after his exposure to drugs, "because it is Starchild spelled backwards." One of the greatest TV series of all time.

I'd fuck Marilu Henner. She still looked hot like 20 years ago. Might still do.

Gilligan's Island would be good, if I could bunk with Ginger and Mary-Ann.

I spoke with Mary Ann (Dawn Wells) and got a "hip-bump" from her about 30 years ago, backstage after a live production in New Orleans, when I told her I used to watch her on "Gilligan's Island" when I was a kid growing up. She was a good sport because I am not much younger than she. 

She indeed is both very pretty and very nice.
