[@luciansunset1]

Equalizer, Simon and Simon too

[@alanspikin8432]

My favorite of all time for me was and still is Miami Vice!

[@khalilrazak6486]

Loved the 80's.

[@PPHDocumentaries]

The 80`s had the best T.V shows. You didn`t even need cable.

[@NeonButterfly7]

Those were the days!

[@iCa11]

To much greed around now

[@SmallSpoonBrigade]

Yes, but around here cable wasn't even very expensive, it was only $5 a month.

[@luciansunset1]

Best music too

[@UnblockedOne2]

Great time to be alive. Plus, the V TV series. Really miss the 80's & 90's. Remember when there was just one TV in the house? Even if you had more than one the best one was in the living room. It's over though.

[@jerrygarciaisgod4409]

Hapsmig, V the alien T.V. scifi series was awesome. Freddy Krueger was the loveable nerdy lizard man. Classic.

[@timothyvanringelenstijn5987]

I kinda miss airwolf in this list

[@1cmman]

I remember most of them but my favorits shown here would be knight Rider and A team as well as Airwolf that wasn´t shown here. Another funny show from the 80s was ALF the alien.

[@tillymalone5322]

Happy to see Hill Street Blues👏👏😁😁👍👍was one of my favourites and missing Three's Company on this list👍🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦

[@realidadeoculta]

Hi greetings from Portugal :) , Here we watched these shows to, and all people watched the same shows, because we had only two TV channesl that time :) . I loved also "V Final Battle" and "Captain Power and the soldiers of the Future".

[@NeonButterfly7]

What's not to love about the 80's?

[@evangelistcryaloudministry4179]

I remember all of those wonderful shows.

[@markkuman4673]

[@mike-yx4wu]

Does anyone remember Simon and Simon, it could of made the list.

[@robertford9837]

I remember Simon and Simon 1 of my favs with streethawk,manimal and automan

[@BobSmith-uc5js]

St. Elsewhere deserves a spot on this list.

[@favoritevideos440]

And what about ALF?

[@sundelight8230]

Knight rider, airwolf, miami vice, street hawk , a team 😍🙏🏽👍

[@fe4r-xcs125]

The 80s had the best shows on tv

[@MariaJoseMedina-z8j]

My favourite 80s show is Moonlightning❤ so nostalgic and romantic😊

[@Mr_Morals]

Man I love being a 80’s baby.

[@chriscruz8644]

WHAT?!! H E L L O?!!! Two Words--THREE'S COMPANY.

[@ermohendrikson8161]

To me with out of doubt The A-Team ! My ALL time Favorite...!

[@chrisgreulich]

Where is T.J. Hooker, Simon & Simon. The Fall Guy, The Greatest American Hero, Chips, Hardcastle & Mccormick & Riptide? In my opinion, Action, Adventure, Detective Shows ruled the 80's. And some shows on the list really belong on the 70's list.

[@keithrobinson398]

My favorites on list Miami Vice , Hill Street Blues , Magnum PI , Mash , Cheers , Family Ties. Miami Vice and Hill Street Blues dared to be different.

[@PrzemekCudnoch]

[@DBeau73]

A lot of these shows I've never heard about. Moonlighting, Hill Street Blues and Remington Steele. Guess they weren't popular enough to make it to the Canadian television or at least in my region. I'd have Star Trek TNG before some of these. Of course, It is highly dependent on who is making the review since we all like different things.

[@Turbovanilli]

Kind of felt like the list was a little all over the place had some classic shows like night rider and Macgyver loose to some show that we kind of forgot about and then kind of got it together again toward the end but I wish growing pains made it. Full house and family matters would have been good too.

[@MrScottx]

Well I agree with The Dukes of Hazzard, Night Rider and the A Team. Mash is clearly a 70's show. I would add Air Wolf, V the series, and most importantly He-man and the Masters of the Universe, GIJoe a Great American Hero, The Transformers and Thundercats. The last four are probably the most fondly remembered shows of that decade!

[@vassa1972]

Great video loved the 80's except for one day in 1988, October 16th 1988 is the day that my mom vassa past away in her sleep I was 16 years old and she was 38. But my favorites shows during the 80's would have been cheers, night Court, a-team, knight Rider and cartoon Wise I loved the g1 transformers series lol take care everyone

[@not-so-smartaleck8987]

Sorry to hear about your mom, only 38...

[@manjumanl222]

May she rest in peace ,she was certainly a wonderful kind woman .

[@Jeff-z8h]

Knots Landing was my favorite!

[@Raibartroudrix]

Fall Guy was pretty good to.

[@frankmaxfield7025]

Fall guy was the best

[@hikari8858]

Good list, with many of my favorites, but inexplicably missing many very popular and iconic TV shows, such as: The Love Boat Three’s Company Dynasty Dallas ALF St. Elsewhere WKRP in Cincinnati Picket Fences Knots Landing The Incredible Hulk Quantum Leap (well, actually late 80s/early 90s, but it was a great show) Maybe making a list of the top 40 shows of the 80s would be a better representation of what TV was all about during that decade and what people loved.

[@stasio42]

No Diff’rent Strokes? This list is suspect

[@musicalneptunian]

What's this list doing Willis?

[@BroodallyHonest]

Dallas, Dynasty, Knots Landing, Wiseguy?

[@ericwix29]

Beautiful. All my family was here then. Brings back a lot of great memories

[@tcmyrick]

No Dallas or Star Trek: The Next Generation is absolute absurd.

[@fionaobrien3818]

Benson , wise guy , falcon crest , the fall guy , ♥️💚🖤💖💛💗🧡💜❤️💙🇮🇪

[@mikekulawiak6877]

You forgot about airwolf,the great American hero,and murder she wrote

[@cybercat29]

The Dukes Of Hazzard, Moonlighting, Night Court, Knight Rider,The Golden Girls MacGyver were the ones I just LOVED watching.

[@not-so-smartaleck8987]

MacGyver was a big favorite of Marge's sisters (Patty & Selma) on the Simpsons...

[@MadeInManny0161]

Gary Cole midnight caller can't forget that.

[@stanleybaker8707]

The A team.

[@JennieRose8]

You forgot Scarecrow & Mrs King. MacGyver is better than Magnum P.I., and Cheers at #1? Hmmm. I disagree.

[@noahbones1221]

Cheers well fucking deserves to be #1.

[@not-so-smartaleck8987]

I think sitcoms and dramas should be separately ranked. Comparing them to each other is like comparing apples and oranges, IMO. (Personally, I'm much more familiar with the sitcoms than the dramas.)

[@hippiepeter]

Cheers was huge at the time but since then it didn't age very well.

[@teamsaunz]

Although it’s hard to narrow down the top 10 shows of the 80s, some of those were suspicious. Definitely, one person’s personal opinion…not ratings or viewership. If those were apart, Full House (as cheesy as it was) would be on there; the Cosby Show; and Growing Pains. All I can say is DID I DO THAT?! How rude! You got it dude!

[@chewsyslee55]

#12. "I pitty the fool"

[@not-so-smartaleck8987]

That pic at 2:23, they're wearing military officer uniforms(??) Were they supposed to all be ex-military when they formed the A-Team?

[@richardd3367]

@@not-so-smartaleck8987 Vietnam War vets; the basic premise was they were accused of a military crime they didn't commit and were on the run from the U.S. government while being do-gooder mercenaries.

[@kevincohen1303]

Don’t diss the Cosbys

[@theshiled]

I would also add Quantum Leap

[@juliansmith4352]

Wait a minute Falcon Crest Dallas and Dynasty didn't make the list not even simon & simon knots landing or silver spoons starring rick Schroeder or St elsewhere which jumpstarted a young Denzel Washington Mark Harmon of NCIS William Dainels who also was the voice of KITT on Knight Rider Stephen Hurst from national lampoons animal House

[@brenthaymon280]

Where is the Cosby show. It was one of the most popular shows of the 80's.

[@nileju5061]

Somes are totally unknow in France. What about Alf, Who's the boss, Full house ?

[@victormontano7148]

Air Wolf, Hunter, Sledge Hammer.

[@MariaJoseMedina-z8j]

The black boy wellbuilt was the character of Rocky Movie.

[@bhavanithillai]

Hai!!! What happened to Dallas, LHOTP???

[@15cnelson42082]

Funnily enough Golden girls and married with children. Two polar opposites in television then but I mostly caught the Simpsons with my sister as we were still quite young but our parents liked that E.R. type of show with David Morse.

[@richardd3367]

What show is that opening shot (0:05)? The cast looks like [left to right]: one of Tim Allen's "Home Improvement" kids, vaguely familiar woman, cheerleader Claire from "Heroes", Fred Savage from "Wonder Years", and Jefferson (Ted McGinley) from "Married With Children"...??

I prefer the old Magnum

Missing a few I must say myself

[@Broughton1128]

*Remington Steele made the list but The Cosby Show didn't? As a matter of fact, you didn't list a single series (with the slight exception of the A Team) where there was a minority lead.*

[@dimikavakelis7103]

New hart and the golden girls do not belon on this lis but Silverspoons and Difrent Strokes does. Also one day at a time. It must of been an older person doing this list Taxi leaks over the 70s more than the eighties.how about the Jefersons it leaked into the 80s and it was a great show.

[@not-so-smartaleck8987]

Newhart is way better than Silver Spoons (gag), and is also better than Diff'rent Strokes. Some of us were already adults in the 80s, with little to no use for those kid shows. One Day at a Time, maybe. I think of the Jeffersons as a 70s show. I wasn't crazy about Golden Girls, but apparently a lot of people liked it. Taxi had 1-1/2 seasons in the 70s (up to the middle of the second season), but 3-1/2 in the 80s, so it was mostly an 80s show. (By contrast, Wonder Years and Married with Children were mostly 90s shows.)

[@remarkableshailesh]

Benson , Picket Fences

Where´s Airwolf ? And Miami Vice is for me #1.

WKRP in Cincinnati

70's start up on that, but it did play out through the 80's, 78 through 82 ... so yeah, I agree, great show.
