TV shows from the 80's post #1  quote:



What tv shows did you watch in the 80's? Are there still reruns of a show that you loved, that you watch to this day?

Three's Company - I watched it when I was a kid every time it was on. Loved it. Still watch the reruns on Nick At Nite.

Greatest American Hero - What I remember about this show the most is the theme song: 'Believe It Or Not...' Comedy.

Webster - Made me wish I was a midget orphan.

Bossom Buddies - Two guys that dress up like women? Classic.

Cheers - One the best sitcoms, ever. I can watch this show today and it's still fresh.

Who's The Boss - Why did I watch this crap? Oh yeah, Alyssa Milano.

Family Ties - Another classic. Can watch it any time.

Growing Pains - I can't stand this show now. I realize how bad the writing and acting was. But, Kirk Cameron did have a friend named Boner.

Alf - So bad it was funny.

Perfect Strangers - A guilty pleasure then and now.

Night Court - A fun show, great cast.

The Wonder Years - I grew up with this show.

Moonlighting - Made Bruce Willis a household name.

The Cosby Show - I could take Bill Cosby and his sweaters in small doses. Anyone remeber when Rudy wasn't a little cute kid anymore and they introduced another cute kid? Hilarious.

Diff'rent Strokes - Which one did I like best, the one where Arnold was going to get beat up by the Gooch, or the one where he was almost molested. Not sure. Probably the one with the Gooch.

Gimmie A Break - For some reason I used to think Nell Carter was hilarious.

The Jeffersons - Oh George, the lovable racist.


That's all I can think of for now...

Family Ties was a favorite of mine, but not after they had Andy.

Dallas. I just had to tape it every Saturday night. I am watching it in re-runs now.

Bosom Buddies was great. I loved it.

Dukes of Hazard - had to love seeing Daisy in her daisy dukes each week!

Gimme A Break - I knew Kari Michaelson, who played the oldest daughter, Katie.

The Cosby Show

Different Strokes - "Whatcha talking about, Willis"

I started a similar thread in the television thread. My big-ass list is over there...

Still, I don't remember if I shared some before, so here goes a few more...

Trapper John, M.D.
The Barba Family (clickety-click, Barba trick!)
Simon & Simon
Hardcastle & McCormick
Wishing on a Star (I think that's what it was called. A girl named Eve who was the offspring of a human and an alien. She could "gleep" to freeze time or something.)
Parker Lewis Can't Lose (kinda like a spoof of Ferris Bueller, starred Corin Nemec, or Corky if you remember him in the movie Tucker: A Man and his Dream)

What up SD, I haven't seen you in a while...

That show (Wishing On A Star) was called ' Out Of This World'. I think you had the theme song.

I remember that Parker Lewis show. But that reminds me of the short-lived Ferris Bueller TV show. You know you starred as the sister? A certain young Jennifer Aniston.

And Simon & Simon, that show was cool.

What about Magnum P.I.! It was because of that show that Tom Selleck couldn't star in Raiders Of The Lost Arc. He had the role. Too bad they had to go with that Harrison Ford guy.

Seriously, they wanted Tom to be Indy? Oh that would have made me an even bigger Indie fan.

Oh yeah, Spielberg wanted Tom Selleck, Tom wanted to do it. He had the part. But CBS wouldn't let Tom out of his Magnum P.I. contract. So George Lucas called Harrison Ford. The rest is history. Just imagine where their careers would be...

That reminds me, for the lead role in Beverly Hills Cop, Sylvester Stallone was originally offered the part. It wasn't going to be a comedy... obviously. Glad he turned it down.

I used to love that 'Out Of This World' show, but they took it of TV in Australia after the first season. Bugger aye?

Cheers is probably my favorite from the 80's though, unless you count the later seasons of Soap
