I'm surprised this 80s TV Nostalgia listing has missed

Manimal
Webster
Mr. Merlin
Silver Spoons
Charles in Charge.

Has no one here seen the Family Guy episode where Peter breaks the TV and thinks up his own 80's sitcom to entertain himself?

I haven't picked out my favourites, but rather whacked together a (by no means complete) list of old shows I enjoy to watch. My criterion for old was that they had to have started in the Eighties or earlier. Oh, and I alphabetised it because I'm anal like that.

The A-Team*
Battlestar Galactica
Bewitched*
Cagney & Lacey
Charlie’s Angels*
Cheers
CHiPs
The Cosby Show
Father Dowling Mysteries
The Golden Girls*
The Golden Palace
I dream of Jeannie
The Jeffersons
Knight Rider
MacGyver*
Married With Children
Moonlighting
Mork and Mindy
Murder, She Wrote*
Perry Mason
Quantum Leap
Rhoda
Soap
Star Trek*

Asterisks indicate I have that show on DVD, which probably shows a preference for it.

By the way, anyone here remember Small Wonder? That show was so awesome in its extreme cheesiness, and it even featured a robot girl.

At any rate, I could live forever never seeing the above other series again. I'm not trying to be elitist, but Buck Rogers? Not for me.

I regard these older series fondly:
  • Time Tunnel
  • The Rockford Files
  • Star Trek TOS
  • Simon and Simon
  • Moonlighting
  • Star Trek TNG (yes, it's old now)
  • Some of Quantum Leap
  • X-files
  • Babylon 5
  • Millennium
I cant help liking Buck, Gil Gerard was sooo sexy, men in tight jumpsuit yummy, also Mel Blanc did the robot voice so that was pretty cool.

How about fav shows that started but met an untimely end?
  • Nowhere Man (I've got this on DVD)
  • Lucky
  • Firefly
  • The Tick (live action version)
  • Deadwood (at least, I think it died early)
  • Space: Above and Beyond
  • Earth 2
  • Key West
  • And what was the name of that show where the guy had luck (after being the sole survivor of an airplane crash), but if he used it, there were bad consequences?

Welllll, Deadwood had to die... it was based on actual historic events... and fairly accurately, from what I have read... so, unless they start making stuff up, it's pretty much over.

Agreed on Firefly and The Tick though... Patrick Warburton IS The Tick. If they ever made a live action feature film, I wouldn't cast it any differently.

Maybe this isn't old enough-- but I adored it: Freaks and Geeks. I had the biggest crush on Daniel.

I always wanted to see Twin Peaks, but my mother wouldn't let me as a kid I should watch it...

I recently got the boxset of Twin Peaks, I was at boarding school and we werent allowed to watch it [I barely got permission to watch Star Trek].
