I have fond memories of everything about that show... except for the clumsy renaming of the main character (Ralph Hinckley) in the wake of the assassination attempt on President Reagan (made, for those who don't remember, by a guy named Hinkley). That smacked so strongly of Viewers Are Morons on two fronts ("Viewers will think the main character tried to assassinate the President!" and "No one will notice if the main character's last name suddenly changes for no adequately-explained reason!") that thirty-some years later I still want to find the suits responsible and slap them upside the head.
