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!)
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
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
The A-Team & dem Duke Boys!
Hill Street Blues.
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!"

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?
The name of the show was:Quote:
Does anyone remember the name of a cartoon that was about 5-6 robots that some teenage genius had built and each robot had a different skill, all were self-willed, and when he needed them to, they could join and form one giant robot that he would fly up inside and control? I have been trying to figure this out for years.
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

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.
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.
M*A*S*H, WKRP, Magnum PI, and McGyver! :eek:
A-Team, Airwolf, Dukes of Hazzard, and of course MacGyver (hey, what did you expect? :D )
Definately the A-Team and Dukes of Hazzard!!!
Kenny P.
DUKES!!!
Automan
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.
Sledgehammer, A-Team and Punky Brewster
How about
Star Trek: The Next Generation
Tales of the Gold Monkey (My Favorite)
Moonlighting
and for Cartoons
Star Blazers
Transfomers
It could have been worse. I know all the words to the damn Facts of Life theme song :) Bwahahahahaha!Quote:

How could I have forgotten about The Muppet Show? Piiiiiiigs in Spaaaaaaaaace!
Anybody remember that cartoon Speed Racer?
Loved it. That and Voltron, Cheers, and pretty much every other show mentioned on this forum.
I remember V. I wonder who thought that show up.. Crazy..Quote:

Airwolf kicked butt! I was also into The A team - I pity the foo
Smurfs??!!?!?!?!!!!?!! :D
V - The Mini Series was pretty good.
Ya gotta admit how bad that would suck on the honeymoon :eek:Quote:

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!!!)
A Team and Alf!!! They RULE!!!
I grew up in the 60's and 70's. My favorite show in the 80's was Elvira-Mistress of the Dark.
Hmmm, didnt watch any TV in the 80s - and if i did, i definetly cant remember any shows..... :D
Burn.
Couldnt have said it better. Might add Air Wolf and ALF.Quote:

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: :) :(
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: https://forums.windrivers.com/
Robotech, Transformers, Star Blazers, G.I. Joe, Mork and Mindy, Cheers, Barney Miller, Loved them all! :p
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)
Benny Hill is a Classic. I just orderd all his tapes that are now available. He is a true Jewel :cool:
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?
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
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? ;)
