[Buck Snort]

Awesome! How did I forget about the Fall Guy!

[coolpool]

Gilligans Island, The Six Million Dollar Man, Wonder Woman (Linda Carter is still hot!!!!), Batman (Biff!, Pow!, Bam!).

[RIDE-RED 250r]

Being a kid growing up in the 80's, my favorites were shows like, Knight Rider, Airwolf, Dukes of Hazzard, Magnum PI.

That's about all I can think of at the moment.....

[Mosh]

Dukes of Hazard, Knight Rider, BJ and the bear...
Sanford and Son, and without a doubt...

Archie Bunker (All in the family)
I doubt that half that trailprotrailprotrailprotrailpro would fly from that show now.... it was so "intolerant" by today's ffd up politically correct standards..Nobody was safe from "profiling"
As the intro song title states..
"Those were the days"

HeeHaw was kickass

Ahhh....the A Team.....cultivating my lust for the Ruger Mini Thirty in Stainless.....then I bought one and quickly got over it although my mini was far more accurate than the rifles they used in the show which never seemed to inflict ANY wound on ANY bad guy on ANY season....even our filmed gunplay scenes were more polite and sanitary back then in comparison to contemporary TV violence

[El Camexican]

A-Team (Mr T & Murdock)
Starsky and Hutch (Huggy Bear & the Torino!)
The Dukes of Hazard (Daisy and the Dodge!)
Rockford Files (The car!)
Good Times (Dynomite!)
Different Strokes (What you talkin bout Willis?"
Fantasy Island (Boss de plane!)
Love Boat (Julie and the Doc's conquests!)
Get Smart (Missed it by that much)
All in The Family (Meat head!!!)
Sanford & Son (You big dummy & I'm comin ta join ya Lizibeth)

Hey we're talkin the 70's and 80's it was ALL good!:Bounce

[big specht]

Hogans Heroes

Be recording those for the last month. Living in the country we grew up watching dukes of hazard and A team and fall guy. We were hell on the first cars we drove. Lol

[Joseph Farrow]

Star Treck, Space 1999, Six Million Dollar Man, Bionic Woman, Charlies Angels, Soul Train, Dating Game,....
It was All Good!!!

[tri again]

Can't go wrong with little rascals but may be the wrong era.

...and to the thought about violence?
Weren't western THE most popular shows there for a while.
It was ALL about side arms and everyone shooting everyone
for whatever reason.
kinda like reality these days.
Funny we had less street violence back when those shows were on all the time.
and all the kids ran around with capguns and toy handgranades etc etc

[Chopsaw]

Nobody watched Rockford files or Columbo ? McMillan and wife ? Hart to Hart ?

I was hooked on Black Sheep Squadron . Baa Baa Black sheep .

[Bren_downe]

He-man, transformers, voltron, thunder cats (Ho!), Ninja turtles and G.I. JOE. The best years for cartoons.

[bkm]

Dukes of Hazard, Knight Rider, BJ and the bear...
Sanford and Son, and without a doubt...

Archie was probably the best sitcom character of all time. Like you said due to the political correctness of today YouTube is about the only place to find clips of the show.

Mama's family was also one of my favorites.

[RIDE-RED 250r]

Uummmmmmm..... I dunno! LOL! ;)

I used to watch alot of PBS when I was a kid growing up.. And being that I was always sort of into science and whatnot, remember 3-2-1 Contact?? LOL! Another one of my favorites.

Then in afternoons, it was always a fight between me and little brother.. He wanted to watch Mr. Rogers, I wanted to watch Magnum P.I.! HAHA!

[Mosh]

Speak in of Mr Rogers....Look up Mr Robinson's neighborhood from Saturday Night Live from the 80s with Eddie Murphy.
Some of the funniest skits of all time were from The eddie murphy days. YouTube has most of em blocked out so you should use Google.

Forgot about Battlestar Galactica and Buck Rogers

[Mosh]

This is a classic and shows just how far people have gotten away from satire and misconstrue a simple joke into offensive behavior..

206348206349 Let's not forget CHiPs with Larry Wilcox as Officer Jon Baker, ran from the late 70's to the early 80's. The guy also liked trikes.

[tripledog]

I liked Dragnet, Adam-12, Emergency, The Rookies, Happy Days, Bonanza, The Adams Family, The Munsters, and the Flintstones. And if you don't like that, well Kung Fu.

[ironchop]

Adam-12!!!

hahaha forgot about that. Running around the house yelling into my Realistic Walkie Talkie with Morse Code key "Rampart! Rampart this is Adam-12!"

[redsox]

magnum PI is STILL good. it was a solid show. Dukes was great then but can't really watch it now. didn't last. CHiPS was great, and the Hulk was good too. Anyone remember StarBlazers? Force Five? Afternoon Japanamation. Good stuff. Saturdays i remember "The Creature Double Feature". Solid stuff.

But my favorite has to be THREE'S COMPANY - RIP John Ritter

Other good ones: Alice, Newhart (....and this is my other brother Daryl), ALF, Perfect Strangers, Bosom Buddies

Not so good ones that I watched anyway: Silver Spoons, Family Ties, Growing Pains, Small Wonder

Don't forget that The Simpsons got their start in the 80's on the Tracy Ullman Show

Finally, I have to wonder if I was the only person that watched every episode of Manimal

My best friend growing up and I got into huge trouble after I shot him in the shoulder with a field point after we watched a Chinese guy on this show catch arrows that were shot at him. We, of course were convinced we could replicate this....wrong. I got the bow, my buddy is doing the "catching" (lol) and after ten attempts he says "you`re shooting them too far to my right to grab them. Don`t be a sissy! Shoot at me and I will get out of the way in time if I have to!"......which was absolutely NOT true. After taking him to the hospital to have the arrow pushed back out of his shoulder, we got "The Belt" from both my parents and his....Ahhh the good ole days

great show
