[on:]

i pick miami vice.

[Reply #1 on:]

I liked that one where Cher was set on fire by that mechanical lizard thing. What was it, Wheel of Fortune?

[Reply #2 on:]

No, you're thinking of Battlestar Galactica.

[Reply #3 on:]

Oh yeah. Also, anything with Tony Danza in, i'm all about. Seriously.


...What?

[Reply #4 on:]

Alf.

[Reply #5 on:]

Blackadder.

[Reply #6 on:]

Small Wonder, of course... what could go wrong with a show about a 10 year-old robot daughter? Poor acting? Bad scripts? A ludicrous plot, even by 80's sitcom standards? Bah, I say...

[Reply #7 on:]

The Wonder Years was great.  Only one I can think of really.

[Reply #8 on:]

Miami Vice, Different Strokes, ALF, and grand daddy of them all The Cosby Show

[Reply #9 on:]

even though i've never lived in the 80's, i'd have to say  blackadder

[Reply #10 on:]

MacGuyver.

The rest of this thread is irrelevant.

[Reply #11 on:]

Garth Margenghi's Darkplace. Best Eighties show ever. But they only made 6 episodes, GRRR...

I think I'll pick Miami Vice as well, that show was the epitome of coolness

I hear that and I was going to mention it too.

What was that one with the half-alien girl who could stop time by putting he fingers together?

Troy Doug McClure was in it.

Out Of This World, that was it!  That was the best.

By "best", I mean "Worst"

[Reply #15 on:]

I only know cartoons, don't think I saw many shows.

I loved Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles. The "Ninja" was too 'dangerous' for the children.

Oh, how about The Clothes Show? It was shown in the 80s and early 90s, and it showed the latest fashions every week. I used to love watching it!

[Reply #16 on:]

The A-Team.

"I pity the fool.."

[Reply #17 on:]

Does M*A*S*H count as an 80s show?

If not, I'll agree with the guys who mentioned The A-Team and MacGuyver.

yeah I remember that. I first time saw the episode when I was in school.

[Reply #19 on:]

Miami Vice was like, the epitome of cool, but the Turtles I liked more closer to the time.

[Reply #20 on:]

...okay, Small Wonder sucked. Shows I actually would watch? The A-Team. Mr. T will always be cool.

[Reply #21 on:]

Macgyver, A-Team, Magnum P.I., Simon and Simon, Voltron, G.I. Joe , Transformers, The Equalizer.....too many to list really.

[Reply #22 on:]

The Simpsons. Why?... I seriously can't think of any other show during the 80's which had an episode I preferred to 'Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire'...

[Reply #23 on:]

Night Rider and Buck Rogers.   Oooh, Erin Grey would be good for the thread about sci-fi chicks!

[Reply #24 on:]

The Simpsons. I'm reffering to the Ullman shorts, not just the only full-length episode that aired in the '80s ("Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire" ). The Wonder Years is a close second, though.

[Reply #25 on:]

Those who said "The A-Team" wins.

In 1972 a crack commando unit was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn't commit. These men promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Los Angeles underground. Today, still wanted by the government, they survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire...

The A-Team!

[Reply #26 on:]

Hands down Miami Vice and Macgyver, but you also got 21 Jump Street.

[Reply #27 on:]

macgyver was cool and all, but miami vice had tubbs/ crockett, aside from beavis and butthead they were the best duo of all time.

Didn't Buck Rogers start in the seventies though?

[Reply #29 on:]

when was you can't do that on television? i remember that from when i was younger, so it must have been late 80s/early 90s... that show was so bad it was good...
hmmm.. and ninja turtles rocked. as did the live action movies.. has anyone seen the crappy excuse for a tv show that is the new ninja turtles? so so bad.
punky brewster was pretty cool too.. but we recently had reruns and they're pretty bad in retrospect. i guess you have to be young to really enjoy a lot of these shows

[Reply #30 on:]

‘I just love it when a plan comes together...’ Also: The Equalizer.

[Reply #31 on:]

Degrassi Junior High

[Reply #32 on:]

Was The Young Ones on in the 80s?

Blackadder too. 

All hail part of the golden age of sitcoms!

[Reply #33 on:]

Yeah, The Young Ones was in the 80's. The Young Ones is also my pick for best 80's show

Technically yes, but I'm rounding 1979 to 1980.  Didn't expect that, did you Mr. Spoiler?  In your face!

[Reply #35 on:]

I missed the 80's by 2 years 

[Reply #36 on:]

Consider yourself fortunate...

oh wait, you had to live through the nineties! Ha!

[Reply #37 on:]

Sorry to hear that NibblerJr, The A-Team rocked!

But you can still catch repeats and you can buy the best 6 episodes on DVD. (what!? The best 6 episodes, how do you come to such a silly conclusion?)

I'm reckoning that there should be a poll to find the best 80's show, anyone?

[Reply #38 on:]

star trek - the next generation!

[Reply #39 on:]

Thunder...Thunder...THUNDERCA TSSSSSS
(When I was Growing Up)

Blackadder
(now)

Slight difference me thinks.
