How come the global leaders racing towards nuclear dominance have signs of mental disturbances. Nukes can be safe. It's the people who are dangerous.

Number 10 is “The Dick Van Dyke Show” followed by “Atlanta”, “The Golden Girls”, “The Mary Tyler Moore Show”, “Parks and Recreation” “30 Rock”, and at #4, “Veep”.
