"20/20" (1978)TV series 1978-????

I first started watching this show after the TGIF line-up with Family Matters, Step by Step (A show I hated) and some others that were on that line-up. This was a good show, still is, but I have not watched it in many years. When I watched it Hugh Downs and Barbara Walters were the chief stars of the show, and they were very good.

There were and probably still are very interesting segments on this show, some about politics, some about social issues, some human interest stories, all of them are very good. This is far better then that stupid Dateline NBC, which NBC seemed to use almost solely as a filler for bad nights, a show to make up for bad nights, I think that show was on at one point four nights a week.

This is a solid show, was on Thursday for a long time, but it now on Friday. This will definitely rank among one of the best news shows ever on television but definitely not as good as Sixty minutes. Some of my favorite segments talked about how people lie, on a day to day basis, another discussed a very controversial Christmas video produces by a local western Republican Party, and another had a woman whose children were living with her, and was telling them their father did not love them, when in fact the father desperately wanted to talk to them. This is good stuff, and if you have nothing better to watch on a Friday night, this won't be too bad.
