this show, made in the 80s, probably has the most clever idea. it definitely can have an infinite number of plots and it can never get boring because the writers have so much to work with. I am a fan of science-fiction shows and movies and i personally think this show is priceless. it's clever and lovable. The two main characters, Sam and Al are very likeable because of their persistent charm and wit. and the show will never fail to bring sentimental values and suspense (at times).
