Close to Home has all the high-quality production hallmarks of the Bruckheimer empire, although it's thankfully less flashy than the CGI-heavy, color-coded CSIs.

Everybody Loves Raymond, which signed off in May, was the last sitcom in the top-10 most-watched TV shows. In the 1996-97 season, there were seven.
