Your Go-To 1980's Show?

Wow, I was discerning even then. I never watched any of those shows!

Murder, She Wrote is my favorite now. I like a cozy murder mystery, and I love all the old Hollywood stars that turn up, especially in the earlier seasons. And Angela Lansbury is such a treat as Jessica. I wish they’d run the show another five years.

Knots Landing, NOT Knot’s Landing!

I watched LA Law, Cheers, and sometimes Dynasty, none of the others. Since I didn't watch Dynasty regularly, I never knew what was going on.

I watched Family Ties, Head of the Class, Growing Pains, Night Court, Unsolved Mysteries, 21 Jump Street, Kids in the Hall and a lot of stuff on USA Up All Night and MTV.

...and Cosby.

R1 Wow!!

R5 I should have added The Cosby Show! One of my favorites!

The only one of those shows that I ever watched was Cheers but I didn't consider it my go-to show. I stopped watching it pretty much right after Diane and Sam slept together.

Sorry, I misunderstood the question. I don't watch any '80s shows now.

'80s shows aren't nostalgic for me, '70s shows are, and I think they're better, usually.

I don't think the question was about anyone watching these shows NOW, R9.

I think the question was what you were watching on TV back THEN. Unless I've misunderstood the question.

r4, wtf was Kids in the Hall?

R11 It was a sketch comedy show.

Remington Steele, Mangum PI, and Simon & Simon in that order (I was a tween with a type).

R13 No "Riptide?"

I was way into Moonlighting ‘86-87 when it was great.

Roseanne, yes Roseanne. That would be after Moonlighting. Never watched any of the others.

FALCON CREST!

Where’s Dallas?

I was a kid in the 80's so I watched The A-Team and Knight Rider

No Alf?

China Beach

Where the FUCK is Dallas?

This poll fails

The Golden Girls, Designing Women, and Murder, She Wrote in that order.

Of those choices it would be Cheers for those first seasons.

Small Wonder

Hill St Blues

All I know is apostrophe abuse, while still present in the 1980s, wasn't as rampant as demonstrated in that anemic list

I'm thinking about it and realizing I didn't watch a lot of TV in the 80s.

I vaguely remember it R14, but it wasn't on long enough. I was born in 74, so I actually caught shows like Remington Steele, Magnum PI, etc. "late" and would catch up on prior seasons via re-runs on syndication on cable (WGN).

Also "V" with Marc Singer. Between the mini-series and the show, it was on for a long time.

Moonlighting

Cheers
