Legend

Ernest Pratt, a dime-store novelist in the old west, lives with his scientist friend Professor Janos Bartok in the small town of Sheridan, Colorado. The people of Sheridan mistakenly believe that Pratt, a drinker, gambler, and womanizer, is the audacious and pure hero of his novels, Nicodemus Legend. Bartok and his associate, Ramos, convince Pratt to assume the Legend persona while supplying him with Legend-like futuristic gadgets that they invent. Together, Bartok and the reluctant Pratt (as Legend), adventure throughout the west solving mysteries, capturing wrong-doers, and even making scientific discoveries.

Malcolm & Eddie

4 Seasons
Malcolm McGee is a responsible, sensible twentysomething who ends up sharing a Kansas City apartment and a business venture with relentlessly-enthusiastic tow-truck owner Eddie Sherman, a fast talker with outlandish frenetic energy. Eddie's charming schemes always get the two into hot water, but no matter what, these opposites always end up bailing each other out, even if they drive each other crazy. When the guys unexpectedly receive a considerable sum of money, they decide to buy the old Irish pub below their apartment--and the entire building, including Eddie's garage, as an investment. The guys give the place a facelift by turning it into a sports bar and renaming it McGee's. They hang out there with local regulars including Tim, a gentle giant working as a male nurse, and Nicolette, a motor-mouthed police-academy cadet with a love-crazed obsession for Eddie. As Malcolm manages McGee's and Eddie tries to bolster his fledgling one-man/one-truck towing operation into a fleet, success for these two could be as simple as staying out of trouble.

The Arsenio Hall Show

6 Seasons
When Arsenio Hall had been given an opportunity to host a late-night talk show on FOX, after the termination of Joan Rivers, he was given a 13-week run, at the time he was shockingly popular. However, a film commitment prevented him from staying, so he signed with a new contract to host the cheerful late-night talk show that was ½ Johnny Carson and ½ David Letterman. Unlike Carson's and Letterman's, Hall had also welcomed unfamiliar and/or struggling stars to his couch, focused on black and urban talent, and thought outside the mold with his more traditional guests. This talk show also paved the way for Jay Leno, Conan O'Brien, Craig Ferguson and Jimmy Kimmel.
