Favorite 80's shows?

**Miss Moonlight** · 10-13-2008 10:18 PM

I searched for a thread like this and couldn't find one.

What are your favorite sitcoms/shows from the 80's?

these are mine:

Three's Company
Growing Pains
Mama's Family
Amazing Stories
Tales from the Darkside
Family Ties (this used to be one of my favorites)
Perfect Strangers ("we shall dance the dance of joy!") and balki <3
Quantum Leap (probably one of the most awesome shows of the 80's, ever)

And although it's really not one of my favorites, i'll admit to watching a couple of episodes of "Facts of life" when i'm bored (hey, you take the good, you take the bad ..

I remember being small and seeing a show called "21 Jump Street", but I never liked it or watched when I was older. I also remember Alf, The Cosby Show, a strange show called 'Small Wonder' (I think it was about some sort of robot girl), Webster, Who's The Boss, Full House, Night Court, Charles in Charge (i've always found the theme song a little creepy, lol), and Punky Brewster. Oh yea .. and the Golden Girls. I don't know why, but I find it hilarious.

This is a great site for getting more info on classic 80's shows:

My favorites from the 80's were "Cheers" and "A-Team"

Easily the Married...With Children show...
I considered it as 80's since it's started it's production in 1987...
Can you just not love Al Bundy xD

But Tales from the Darkside caught my attention as well...

haha perfect strangers was a great show. always balki and his cousin larry. I remember when they were up on the billboard (though i can't remember why). Small wonder was about the robot girl. She was an invention and the creator didn't want his company to find out about her or something.
I always checked out Charlies in Charge, Dear John, Empty Nest, Eurekas Castle, The Elephant Show, A team, Macguyver etc. So many crazy shows back then.

Oh, I rememeber the lame, but classic catch phrases too:
balki: "don't bee ree-dee-cuu-lous!"

About charles in charge though, that song had a stalkerish vibe to it, lol.

"charles in charge, of our days, and our nights .. charles in charge, of our wrongs and our rights .. and I see, I want charles in charge of ME!"

this charles guy is a little too controlling, methinks.

haha yea we always used to change the lyrics when it came on and sing just jiberish over it. "Charles in charge of our fleece and our kites" etc. It was such a silly show.

Haha, yea, add to that scott baio is totally um .. how do say, loserish? well I don't know, he had a show called "scott baio is 46 and single" and "Scott baio is 46 and pregnant" and i'm like "Well that's what happens when you try to be in charge of everyone all the time"

I don't think I want charles in charge of me. No sir
