		All of the series I have been speaking about so far are ones that have entered the public consciousness and atone time during their run they were Top Ten shows.

		Those shows are all from the 1980s, but LAS VEGAS is the show that is currently on TV.

	"Stargate SG-1" (1997)
		The simple fact that it doesn't play like the film over and over again (Something which has plagued many film-cum-TV-shows of late) shows how original it really is and though yes, I admit, the first series was very 'Star Trek' in its recycling of the same story types it always remained somehow different.
		A magnificent program which shows just how imaginative and professional TV can be when the director, cast, crew and screenwriters all work to the best of their considerable ability.
		This is an in-joke, since for most of its run, "ALF" (1986) was in the same time slot as "MacGyver" (1985), which starred Richard Dean Anderson in the title role.
