...many nostalgia-oriented television shows. There were reunions of The Cosby Show, The Mary Tyler Moore Show, M*A*S*H and numerous others (for God's sake, even Alf made a comeback, if only in commercials).

Every day the two go off to their individual offices in their Dutch colonial home to work on their next books. It's just life on Professors...
