It was kind of the spiritual successor.
Even Borat mentions that character and his catchphrase "Ooh Betty, the cat's done a whoopsie on the carpet!" but he adds his own bastardised Kazhakstani translation "the cat done a shit":
Little touches like this that make Baron-Cohen a genius.

I have the old Ali G VHS with all that Borat footage on. They never release it on DVD, amazingly, despite it being his funniest ever material. Part 2: "Do you know Dolly Parton?" "Yes." "What is she like?" "She's a very intelligent person. Extremely intelligent person. She's done a lot of good things, a lot of good things....She had a TV show that lasted two years." "She has a-big...wow-wow-wee-wa!"  |

An American Family (Hugely influential documentary series that more or less invented reality TV) Match Game Kojak Schoolhouse Rock! The Young and the Restless This looks good to me. Or should we replace Y&R with that brit show of Deexan's? |

Crime Story (one of the first fully serialized shows on American TV, it was cancelled early but it was groundbreaking) Shouldn't The Fugitive get credit for that? That whole show was about the guy proving his innocence by finding his wife's murderer. In the movie, "the one armed man" was revealed in the beginning, but on the show, that was the big finale. Also, the Zorro show from the 1950's was essentially serialized. It didn't have one big story from beginning till end, but each season focused on a single story, usually based on one of the books or pulp stories. |

I've never watched The Fugitive but my understanding of it is that it's a largely episodic show where Kimble runs into various shenanigans in each episode while on the run and that the rest of it is more of a set-up than anything. Either way, I did carefully say Crime Story was "one of" the first fully serialized shows. |
