Personally, I adored the Facts of Life, Family Ties, and The Cosby Show.

Does anyone remember a show called "Rags to Riches". My brother swears I was addicted to it way back when, but I hardly remember anything about it. I think it was four orphaned girls living with a rich man, but I could be just adding a few girls to the movie 'Annie', who knows! ;)

PrettyKitty 11-19-2001 11:46 AM

Dang those are all good shows....but I also was way deep into Soap Opera's too like "One Life to Live" and "All My Children"


But my all time favorite shows of the 80's were:

The Wonder Years
Quantum Leap

Quincy
Hunter

valkyrie 11-19-2001 12:37 PM

Yes, Hunter!! I loved that show!

TechAPhi 11-19-2001 02:05 PM

Though it began in the late '70s, it went on until the mid-80s, so I think it counts...THREE'S COMPANY!

I was also a huge fan of Moonlighting, with Bruce Willis (when he had hair) and Cybill Shepard. Cybill's character "Madeline 'Maddie' Hayes" shaped my life--she was so intelligent, witty, and classy.

:)

ErikaXO 11-19-2001 08:18 PM

Three's Company was AWESOME....I still watch it on Nick At Nite. Do Love Boat and Fantasy Island count as 80s shows? I thought they were 70s shows but I loved them.....watched every Sat. night.

Just as a side note, my hubby and I chaperoned prom 2 years ago and one of his golfers was wearing this white tux and white shoes. I went up to him teasingly and said "Well, hello there Mr. Roarke." He had NO IDEA what I was talking about!!!!!! I was like, "Mr. Roarke, you know, Fantasy Island???" He said "Well I wasn't really born then....." I wanted to smack his rotten pimply little teenaged face!!!! LOL

KillarneyRose 11-19-2001 10:07 PM

Erika's post brings to mind this Halloween when a little boy with REALLY GREAT Ace Frehley make-up (to those of you who are wondering who the hell Ace Frehley is, he played guitar in the group Kiss. You know Kiss, Gene Simmons with the long tongue spitting blood? Anyhoo...) came up to our door. I said, "Wow, that is a great Ace Frehley costume." and the little boy said that everyone was telling him that. Then he paused and said, "Well, actually, just the old people" :eek:

Sorry to bust in on this thread, please continue...

ErikaXO 11-19-2001 11:44 PM

Killarney, that kid would have gotten a tube of Ben Gay thrown in his bag, not candy!!! (Sorry, sonny, it's all we old people have to offer!!!!!)

I had a ten year old boy come through dressed like a pimp....fur coat, fedora, big gold chain with $ on it and all.....I told him he was the youngest pimp I ever saw and he flashed me this grin and said, "Why thank you!" Future studmuffin...

shadokat 11-20-2001 03:07 PM

Soap - by far the funniest TV show of the late 70s/80s. I remember one New Years Eve, Comedy Central had the Soap-athon, and it was AWESOME!!

I'm also big on Three's Company and Knotts Landing!

XO_Princess 11-20-2001 03:48 PM

I absolutely LOVED the Love Boat. That was such a great show! And Punky Brewster, too-I totally wanted to be her when i was little.:D

skip101 11-20-2001 06:23 PM

Does anybody remember Falcon Crest, with Jane Wyman (I think she is Ronald Reagan's ex-wife)??

aggieAXO 11-21-2001 07:56 AM
