Share your favorites, and don't be shy! I expect this thread to really get HUGE, because there are so many tv shows to talk about.
I'll get this avalanche started with ten...
Knight Rider
Starman (the series)
A-Team
Three's Company
Wonder Woman (yeah, it's cheesy NOW, but back then I loved it)
Airwolf
Cosby Show
Transformers
Hardcastle & McCormick
The Scarecrow and Mrs. King
I could EASILY go on, but I want others to contribute, so go ahead!
Oh man... soooooooooooo many shows!! I'm not sure where to begin. I think that I will do this when I get home from work in a little bit!!! But, GREAT topic, Sierradaddy!

I knew YOU'D love it, KJ! In fact, I almost referred to you directly in my first post here, figuring since you're SO FAST, you'd be the first to post a reply!
(Must be my precognitive abilities! )
Ok, 5 more, and I'm going to try to be obscure as best as I can...
Automan
NightHawk
Space: Above and Beyond
Kindred: The Embraced
Whiz Kids
Edit: fuscia, you slipped one in while I was adding this post; glad you like it too. I thought you'd be an early visitor as well!
Automan and Whiz Kids were early 80's, Nighthawk was mid-80's (an attempt to develop a show similar to Knight Rider or Airwolf...). The other 2; Space: Above and Beyond and Kindred: The Embraced, were 90's...
Edit: Just to clarify for those who don't know, Automan was about someone who controlled a computer cursor, and that cursor could produce a car (think it was a lamborghini countach), helicopter, etc...
NightHawk was basically a combination of Airwolf and Knight Rider, but the vehicle used was a streetbike. Frank fontaine from Murphy Brown got his start (in my books, anyway...) from that show, as the technician who kept the bike working...
Whiz Kids was about a bunch of computer nerds, and their adventures.
Space: A & B was about soldiers battling aliens and androids. The effects were great, and the storyline was really enjoyable. It remains my younger sister's all-time favorite.
Kindred: is just about the BEST vampire saga ever put on television. Far better than Buffy or Angel, it looked at the lifestyle and struggles of mainly two clans of vampire that have been at each other's throats (pun intended...) for centuries...

Oh man... I could go on and on and on!!! I love the shows from the 70's and 80's! They were the best!
:::>^..^<::: ~*~The Journey is more important than the end or the start~*~ :::>^..^<:::
Oh yeah.... The Six Million Dollar Man, and also, The Bionic Woman!!!!
I loved watching the Bionic Woman. Lindsey Wagner ROCKED!
And her german shepard, Max. That show made me want that kind of dog.
And, although already mentioned... I loved Wonder Woman!
:::>^..^<::: ~*~The Journey is more important than the end or the start~*~ :::>^..^<:::
I figured you would've put in Trapper John, M.D.! Or The Littlest Hobo!! Maybe even Fantasy Island!! I just had a feeling you were going to go for some of the good ones, like Silver Spoons!!
It's weird; I can remember SO MANY shows from the 80's onward, and some of the ones that were in syndication from the 70's that aired in the 80's... I would be so thrilled if they could offer those shows on DVD!! They've GOT to be putting the Cosby Show on DVD... I can't WAIT to get something like that...
Yes, I think that there are A LOT of shows from the 70's and 80's that they could put out on dvd and people would buy them. Those were the best shows ever.
Oh, I wasn't in to Trapper John, M.D.
I did watch Fantasy Island though... good show!!

:::>^..^<::: ~*~The Journey is more important than the end or the start~*~ :::>^..^<:::
That's where my brother's love of Shannon Doherty got it's start, and where I first met Wilfred Brimley. Bosom Buddies; who could forget Peter Scolari and Tom Hanks dressing up as women!! Moonlighting connected me to Bruce Willis, but I never really liked the female lead, whose name escapes me at the moment... Oh, Cybil Shepherd... And one of my personal favorites, whose theme song is still kicking around in my head to this day: Greatest American Hero! I used to dream about what it would be like to find a suit like that and have all those powers... I used to jump into my parents' couch at the part in the opening sequence where he flies into a billboard!
