Actually, Twin Peaks started out on Thursday's at 9 rather than 10.  That
put it up against Cheers rather than L.A. Law.  

Personally, I think a Tuesday at 10 timeslot would be best.  I, for one, don't
even *know* what's on then...so, it can't be *all* that good.  And, with
the hiatus of Thirtysomething, there's nothing else to watch then anyway.
