The Great Debate tv show?

The one I’m imagining for op was way less cool look / like 90s old quality / dark room. Two to four people at desks where you could see them, but not an audience?

I think I know the show op is talking about. I can envision it. Will see if anything jogs the memory.

The show seemed to be a rerun then as the quality and fashion was very outdated. I’d love to watch this show with my now teenager but having trouble finding it. For some reason I think it was aired in PBS but I’m not certain.

You can see this in any bar at about 1 a.m.



Or after smoking what I referred to as "clear thinking shit," which in hindsight was not accurate at all.

Was a hilarious program. Part satire, part pop culture and silly commentary.


The McLaughlin Group was consistently, week in and week out one of the most informative and entertaining shows on TV.


Still seems that way, even more than 30 years later!

Thanks to the ones that tried to help!


Please consider watching the sitcom The Good Place with your kid. It's strangely intellectual and very funny and covers ethics in almost every episode. A bunch of DCUMers have reco'ed it.

Someone from this show died recently. I don't recall the name but my DH mentioned it to me and it brought back 1990s in DC memories...


DW met John McLaughlin shopping in the Arlington farmers market.
