Favourite 80's TV show

[Geek #1]

Being a child on the 80's what was your favourite TV show.

I was a sucker for Knight Rider, Man I loved that car. Wonder if it runs on Windows??

My second favourite was the A-Team, what those guys could do with scrap metal and welding equipment was unreal...

[Radical Dreamer]

Remember Alf? The alien that ate cats? It was my favorite.

[TheoneDKS]

Dukes of Hazard, KnightRider, A-team, Magnum PI, Simon & Simon, I guess I'm just a cool car junkie.

[Mr_Miyagi]

Doctor Who used to scare the sh*t outta me...
;)


Starsky and Hutch was a favourite - loved that car...

[SubZero]

Dukes of Hazzard, St. Elswere, Hill Street Bluse, Taxi, Cheers.

[NakedMessiah]

I to watched knightrider and A-Team. I didn't start watching cheers until it was in syndicate. I remember watching my favorite Battlestar Gallactica. Was that in the 80s or 70s?

[3fingersalute]

The A-Team and the Dukes of Hazzard!!

[CobraTekMax]

Good lord, what DIDN'T I like in the 80s? A-Team, Knight Rider, Dukes of Hazzard, Facts of Life (Blair was a hottie), ALF, Different Strokes (whatchoo talkin' bout Willis?) and I even liked Silver Spoons.

[Pogi]

Cheers, Taxi, M*A*S*H, Riptide and my all time favorite MAX HEADROOM. Got all but 1 episode on tape from their original broadcasts on ABC. Drinking my coffee from my Max mug as I type this.

BTW, for you Dukes of Hazzard fans... Ben "Cooter" Jones has a DOH museum close to here, in Sperryville, VA.

I didn't think we were talking about cartoons. But if so, then add G.I. Joe, He-Man, Transformers, Ghostbusters, Dragon's Lair, and the Smurfs. And if anyone says a word about me liking the Smurfs, I will use JvaGuy's friends page to track you down and beat you within an inch of your life.

Yeah, Jo's my kinda woman these days. But when I was an impressionable 5 year old, Blair was my dream woman.

And you're probably right about Mindy.

;)

[Triumph]

Riptide , the A-Team, Hill Street Blues , St. Elsewhere, Airwolf.
Airwolf kicked butt to me, a Mach 1 helicopter? At that speed the rotor blades were more of a hindrance and could be shut down. Besides, it made the coolest sounds

[RIOT]

I never really got into the shows, but I loved the cartoons. G.I. Joe, Transformers, and Voltron (spelling?) were my favorite.

I love how the Power Rangers were/are a carbon copy of Voltron....

I just remembered a show I loved. Macgyver.

[SavageDolphin]

Cheers, MASH, Facts of Life, Family Ties & The Cosby Show.

And nothing could touch Sesame Street growing up. When it used to be run by hippies, not yuppies.

[King Grover]

What about "What's Happening" Rog, Mama, Dee, Duwane Wayne, and everybody's favorite Rerun. That show was cool.

[Pogi]

Moonlighting, yeah... that was great, before Bruce Willis got annoying.

Anybody remember getting mad at Cybil Shepard's character in the last season because she married some turkey she only just met on a train? After that I felt bad about the way I used to tease my grandmother when she would get all involved in her "stories" on daytime TV.

[twelve]

Family Ties - It was a pretty good show

[LabRat]

Yes, I remember DnD. Who can forget all the grief Eric suffered from Dungeon master's riddles?

[Nakedboy]

Anyone remember the series about the aliens that would eat the goldfish in their wine and crap like that? I think it was called V. Anyway, that was a great series. To bad I never recorded any of them.

CHiPs (Even though it had several gay undertones) :D Buck Rogers and Silver Spoons (Erin Gray was a Robo Hottie :p) Knight Rider, What's Happening, Good Times.

[Skatman]

Eeep,.. dont say that CJF, Panch was my hero as a kid!

Not that theres anything wrong with that, jsut not my style hehe

[LabRat]

Muppets !

Ms. Piggy and Kermit had the warped relationship down. Gonzo was my all time hero though.

"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"


And of course the usual CHIPs, Knight Rider, ect...

Dukes of Hazzard.. oh yeah but only with Bo and Luke, Coy and Vance sucked
CHiPs
Airwolf
Wonder Years
The Muppet Show
Sesame Street
Electric Company
Fraggle Rock
and I always watched Pinwheel on Nickelodeon even though it really sucked.

[ScooterWad]

Moonlighting was cool
What about Charlie's Angels?
You know, Farrah, Cheryl, Kate, Jaclyn
Knightrider was cool too. Remember when MTV actually showed videos instead of stupid human shows. Nuthin like a little AC/DC or Van Halen while home for lunch.

[Imon Fyre]

Ohhh yeah, the Muppets were the best TV ever had to offer. Did anyone see the episode with Alice Cooper on it? When he was trying to get Kermit to sell his soul to him? I still snicker about that...

I think you're right, but I think the Professor was tagging both her and Ginger. He just seemed to damned happy to be on that island, and didn't care that much when Gilligan screwed one of his rescue plans. :D

[njbound2k]

Airwolf and MacGuyver (not the anime)
On Airwolf, cool helicopters, explosions and babes.

On MacGuyver (not the anime)
a dude who could build a space shuttle out of a toaster, rubber band and swatch watch. that was a cool show.

[Wayward Clam]

Has everybody forgot Max Headroom?

[infini_T]

Robotics........hands down the coolest intro jingle ever, plus the show was ok too. I can still hear the technoish, electronically alter voice crooning.....where oh where have good cartoons gone? (although south park kicks azz I must say)

Both girls seemed to have a gleam in they're eyes when they looked at the Professor.

He may not have been too bothered about botched rescue attempts because he might have been secretly working on plans to take over the world from there.

:eek: :rolleyes: :D

[Dr Jam]

The 80s had so many cool shows and stuff even the Muppet show was pretty cool.

Cartoon wise its hard to beat

Transformers - Autobots suck, Starscream rules

[AlienDyne]

I was a kid but I remember some:

1. Dukes of Hazard
2. The Love Boat (my parents used to watch it, I liked the theme)
3. The Muppet Show
4. Fruggle Rock (I don't know if I spell it correctly. It was a series like the Muppet Show)
5. The Benny Hill Show (awesome!! I loved it when Benny got chased or hitting the old bald man on the head!)

[Romchip]

definitely the Muppet Show! Starsky & Hutch (although I didn't really get it back then, too young, just loved the car.) and The A-Team all stick out in my mind.

Also a big mention to all cartoons, big sucker for them, even now from Bugs to Dexters Lab to South Park ya just gotta love them. :D

[Dr Jam]

Just gonna mention the worst cartoon of the 80s or even of all time has got to be

"Jem and the Holograms"

what compelete crap and disgrace to cartoons !!!!

It brings back bad memories

[TheCheeze]

The A-Team & dem Duke Boys!

[Fubar]

Hill Street Blues.

[]-[otRod]

A-Team all the way!

Anybody see the spoof of the "All your base are belong to us" clip that had Mr-T in it?

"I pity the fool who go and try and take over the world then go home cryin to his momma!"
:D

[sprkymrk]

I haven't owned a TV since '90 so this is bringing back memories! My list of favs:
Hill Street Blues
Cheers
Monty Python (was that from the '80's?)
WKRP in Cinncinati (ran from '77-'82 I believe)
When did Mork & Mindy air?

[Maximus2111]

I have been trying to figure this out for years.


The name of the show was:
THE MIGHTY ORBOTS,
it came out around the same time as another cartoon, TURBO TEEN: about a kid who could turn back & forth into a Trans Am Depending on how hot got: he got hot turned into a car, he got cold he turned back into a person.

Also there was POLE POSITION, 2 race Cars with AI, one looked like a Mustang, had a driver named Tess

[computron99]

TV shows (Live People)
A-Team, Knight-Rider, Dukes of Hazard, Cosby, Different Strokes.
TV Shows (Cartoon)
Transformers, GIJoe, ThunderKats.

[computron99]

FoxKids was airing that cartoon a few months ago.

[rdeatrich]

My favorite has to Max Headroom followed by The Greatest American Hero. A few others in my favs list are:
Quark (the sci-fi one about the trash collector ship)
Fall Guy (no one mentioned this one yet... 70's or 80's?)
Salvage One
Magnum P.I.
Simon & Simon
A-Team
Toons: D&D, Voltron, Starblazers

This is my first post here. I saw the topic and figured I had lurked long enough.

[Foehammer]

The best shows of the 80's were all those Japanese animated series that made it to the United States, like Robotech and Star Blazers.

[as06001]

M*A*S*H, WKRP, Magnum PI, and McGyver! :eek:

[MacGyver]

A-Team, Airwolf, Dukes of Hazzard, and of course MacGyver (hey, what did you expect? :D )

[Kenny P.]

Definately the A-Team and Dukes of Hazzard!!!

Kenny P.

[reap]

DUKES!!!

[rogerperkins]

Automan

[Kinderfield]

I used to like the A-team but cant approve of a show that has a special forces unit with bad aim. Out of all the shows i think one person died and that was buy his own hands.

But for things i did like were scooby doo, ALF, mork and mindy, good times, Married with children (late 80's i think), He-man, transformers. I cant believe no one mentioned the Gobots (spelling?). There are others but just cant seem to recall them.

[Web Master]

Sledgehammer, A-Team and Punky Brewster

I will go along with Greatest American Hero as well. He was a fun super klutz. Buck Rodgers, I think, was '70s but watched in the '80s. Who's the Boss ( I loved to watch Alissa Mylano even then.... Yeooooow!!!)

[jeffbrown]

A Team and Alf!!! They RULE!!!

[Silverman]

I grew up in the 60's and 70's. My favorite show in the 80's was Elvira-Mistress of the Dark.

That show about the guy who was a computer
I believe that was Max Headroom. Turning that on was one way to get me to leave the room. Some one mentioned V. A good show but short lived. I forgot about Hardcastle and McCormick The cayote was BAD. And yes McGyver was cool. There was another show about a guy that inherited a Harley and ran all over the US getting in trouble. Wow another stroll down memory lane. :cool: :) :(

[http://forums.windrivers.com/cgi-bin/forum1/noncgi]

My favorite was speed racer. You know I not only think that the professor was tagging maryann and ginger but the the skipper was tagging gilligan that is why he was always messing up, and the skipper was always on edge. {I did like to watch Gilligans Island}along with pretty much all the other posts. :eek: null

[derekb]

Robotech, Transformers, Star Blazers, G.I. Joe, Mork and Mindy, Cheers, Barney Miller, Loved them all! :p

[jmani]

I grew up without a TV. My family got our first TV in '87 when my mom remarried, then I watched all the re-runs of the shows when I could...Now I am a totla TV junkie...my wife constantly tells me TV isnt good for the kids but bugger her right? Now I hate to admit it but my favs are Buffy, Boston Public, and the ever mighty Simpsons (Homer is my hero)

[jbar1]

Benny Hill is a Classic. I just orderd all his tapes that are now available. He is a true Jewel :cool:

[badgerwolf]

Let's see: Cartoons:
GI Joe, Transformers, He-Man, Centurions, Voltron, Smurfs, D&D, ThunderCats, and yes even Gummie Bears.

Real: A-Team, 6 million $ man, Fall Guy, FOL, V, LA Law, Cosby, Cheers, Growing Pains, Air Wolf, Knight Rider, Dr. Who (reruns), and I freakin' loved Dallas.

Does anybody remember: Misfits of Science, The Master (kung-fu related), Silver Hawks (cartoon), and Real People?

[Venom-HiTh]

dude Knight Rider and Air Wolf and A-Team and McGyver
was cool too he would make stufff from nothing but his little swit army knife.

and the air Wolf helacoptor was the best, when those missle came down from underneath and always blew up the things where were better then it =)

and KIT from knight rider, who could forget Mr. Baywatch himself David Hasalhof

and the A-Team with Mr.T I PITTY THE FOOL

[raptorGT]

The show I loved to watch was "MacGyver" with Richard Dean Anderson, now seen in the TV series called "Stargate SG1".

MacGyver rocked! He could build some really cool stuff out of common household things. I wouldn't doubt it if he could build a nuclear reactor out of toothpaste, dental floss, toothpicks, a paperclip, and a foil gum wrapper (isn't that what a Macintosh is made of???).

Anyway, overall, the 80's were pretty good. The hair was weird, DeEvo was all too weird, and I really liked Haley's Comet. Taco Bell was awesome because they sold the original version of the Enchirito with soured cream and olives. Does anyone remember the Chevrolet Chevette? ;)

[LabRat]

ACK! Did I forget Centurions!!!!
Bionic woman was better IMHO and the Fall Guy rocked (had to 'cause Heather Locklear was in there.)

I remember Misfits especially the crazy guy who shrank when the back of his neck was hit and had to wear doll clothes (he was teased in one episode for wearing a michael jackson tour uniform..... the red sequened jacket and one white glove.)

Real: A-Team, 6 million $ man, Fall Guy, FOL, V, LA Law, Cosby, Cheers, Growing Pains, Air Wolf, Knight Rider, Dr. Who (reruns), and I freakin' loved Dallas.

Does anybody remember: Misfits of Science, The Master (kung-fu related), Silver Hawks (cartoon), and Real People?

Anybody remember that show, Mr. Belvedere? I can remember watching reruns of that all day. Macgyver was one bad mofo. There are so many shows that I watched, too many to list.
