Favorite tv shows by decade

[ForCuseSake]

GREAT CALL on Moonlighting -- totally forgot about that.

Thanks, but I think a few others mentioned it up-thread.

Favorites:
1980s: The Wonder Years
1990s: The X-Files/Star Trek: TNG (I feel like ties are cheating but I really can't pick one over the other)
2000s: Lost
2010s: Game of Thrones

wow, I really am a nerd.

I loved Miami Vice. My idea of a 'perfect night' was getting some Chinese food, gummi bears, and then sitting down to Miami Vice and/or Twin Peaks. And once a month, that would all coincide with when the new magazines would come out, and i was in heaven.

Vice hasn't really aged well, though. It was just too trendy, and the acting was often quite bad. I still occasionally watch one every once in a while, but it's more kitschy than 'great' now.

A show i really liked in the 70s that i still like now is The Rockford Files.

Miami Vice does have a few top class episodes though. Out Where the Buses Don't Run is a staple of Top Episode Of All TIme lists.

two shows i would have to add
70s: monster movie matinee on channel 3 was absolutely one of my favorite shows
80s: this week in baseball with mel allen; must see viewing in the years before mlb on tv was oversaturated

The second I read that I could see the opening of the show and hear Mel's voice and the music. Great call.

this week in baseball.. back when highlights hardly existed. the NBC game of the week on sat as a kid and then the monday night game on ABC.

back when Sports challenge was a must watch and Wild Wild west/Hogans hereos/mission impossible were the syndicated shows to watch every day.

I could stay stuck in the 80s with (in no particular order):

The Fall Guy
Knight Rider
A-Team
Greatest American Hero
CHiPs
Moonlighting
Hill Street Blues
Dukes of Hazard
American Gladiators (more 90s than 80s but started in 89)
Simon & Simon
Murder, She Wrote
Remington Steele
Scarecrow & Mrs. King
Charlie’s Angels

How about airwolf and Macgyver. Also I believe simon and Simon did a cross over episode with Magnum? Riptide and hart to hart. Fantasy island. Lol. Matlock. The equalizer. Spencer for hire.

My second favorite player (after Gary Carter) was Will Clark and I remember for a while the opening of TWIB had that moonshot he hit into the upper deck of Candlestick, the one where he just stood at the plate and watched it.

I found it. It's queued to start at the right spot.

I loved Airwolf & Riptide! Fantasy Island was also an excellent call!

Was never as into Macgyver or Matlock as the others.

Great memory!

Can’t just do 1 per decade... I’ll start with the 80’s, as I was born in ‘81:
1980s: Cheers/Dukes of Hazard/Growing Pains/Full House/Who’s the Boss?/WWF Main Event
1990s: Simpsons/Seinfeld/South Park/SportsCenter/Beavis and Butthead/Married w/ Children
2000s: Chapelle’s Show/Curb Your Enthusiasm/Sopranos/Arrested Development
2000/10’s Tweener: It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia/The Office
2010s: Game of Thrones/Americans/Ozark/Stranger Things

Edit: gotta throw Wonder Years in that 80s/90s tweeter spot.

I don’t know how you people kept it to 1-2 shows per decade. Can’t do it.

 

[HOFCeluck]

80’s Wonder Years, DoH or Knight Rider
90’s Seinfeld
2000’s either Sopranos or the Office
2010’s See Avatar

I used to love HIMYM. The early seasons were awesome. The later ones were meh. The last season was awful, and the series finale made me not want to watch a minute of that show again.

+ 00s: Eastbound & Down (only the first two seasons, though)
