I guess I couldn't have had access to Comedy Central until I went to college in 1995. Since then, there have been a number of series I've watched with some regularity (and other things with irregularity). I've also seen any number of stand-up comedy performances on the network, but that was usually from random viewing, channel surfing or whatever, rather than regularly tuning into specific programs. The network has had various stand-up series, and I've probably seen bits of some of them, but I couldn't tell you with any certainty which ones I've seen. But probably I saw a bit of Comedy Central Presents, and Premium Blend, maybe other things. It's also possible I've seen some series that I've completely forgotten about... and certainly there are things that I watched at least one episode of but don't list here because I didn't really care about them. Oh, and of course there may be any number of syndicated shows or movies that I might have watched. (I also want to mention that in 1999 there were promos for the network by various comedians, like Mike Myers, and Janeane Garofalo. I should try to find those things for nostalgia.)
