Any good 80s shows?

[concernedchild123]

I'm a teenager (15) who's completely in love with the 1980s and the culture, music etc. So I've come to the people who grew up in that era to ask if you know any good nostalgic programs you used to watch as a teenager? Kids programs are just as appreciated as are 70s and 90s programs, even American stuff :) I'm not particularly fussy. Thanks.

As an American I only know American stuff, but I used to like Saved By The Bell and Boy Meets World, although I think those were both 90s. The best show of my teenage years was My So Called Life (1995?). I highly recommend that one. It has really great timeless themes, but still manages to capture the era.

I remember watching the A Team, Dukes of Hazzard, Baywatch, Grange Hill, Rent-A-Ghost and Knight Rider as a child/young teenager. I was born in '73 so guess they are all 80s.

More adult would be The Young Ones, Mash, Blackadder, The Comic Strip, 3 of a Kind and Brush Strokes but they would be later 80s perhaps even early 90s.

They are not kids shows, but I was certainly your age when I watched them - Dallas and Dynasty. They certainly sum up the 80's in terms of american style.

Bananaman

No wonder I spent so much time watching TV as a kid, it was ace.

[farrowandbawl]

I miss The Cosby Show and would be so happy if they started showing it again. You don't get programs like that anymore.

[Chubfuddler]

I think it's perfectly fine for a 15 year old to watch any of the shows mentioned on this thread.

[Chubfuddler]

But they're definitely not too young for her either. Great tv is timeless. In fact I am going to look for some bananaman on youtube right now.

Eric is bananaman
