Comedienne's Second TV Show Canceled This Year
'Red Widow' Gets The Axe
Top 20 '80s TV shows (or so they say)
Henry and Matt at Brohans.com have compiled what they are absolutely, positively sure are the twenty greatest '80s television series ever. They are:
- Mr. Belvedere
- The Dukes of Hazzard
- Knight Rider
- Night Court
- ALF
- Perfect Strangers
- The Golden Girls
- Growing Pains
- Married ... with Children
- Who's the Boss?
- Magnum P.I.
- Doogie Howser, M.D.
- The Cosby Show
- The A-Team
- Miami Vice
- The Wonder Years
- MASH
- MacGyver
- Cheers
- Star Trek: The Next Generation
Out of this list, I only see four I would still watch today (MASH, Magnum P.I., Doogie Howser and The Wonder Years). Shows like Knight Rider, The A-Team, ALF and The Dukes of Hazzard were fun when I was a youngster, but they're essentially live-action cartoons. Okay, I'll watch them when I don't want to think too hard about what I'm watching, but those times are rare.
A lot of these shows seem confined to the decade in which they were created, with the exception of the ones I mentioned (and it's worth pointing out that two of those shows actually take place in earlier decades). The only two shows on the list I didn't watch were Miami Vice and Star Trek: The Next Generation, so I can't fairly judge either of them. At the time, I had an aversion to aliens and unshaven narcs. I've grown since then.
