Before I give it more thought, my first choice would be The Dukes of Hazzard. If clips are available, the Chevy Chase Show. I wouldn’t have I Dream of Jeannie because people have good intentions in the show. If Barbara Eden disavowed the show or said it was humiliating I might feel differently.
If I could find clips from the news of the time, I would choose NBC News stating that Richard Jewel was responsible for the Atlanta Olympic bombing in 1996.
