Got the idea from the cartoon thread... for me i actually grew up watching shows like Cheers, Jefferson, Cosby Show... It was when Nick at Night used to be good... Now they got crap like Roseanne. But i used to love watching Cheers, prob one of my favorite shows all time. I also grew up watching shows like Family Matters, Boy Meets World and TGIF. I loved TGIF.
I never watched too many TV shows since I would either: A. get bored after the cartoons ended and go play Atari or Nintendo B. watch a VHS movie BUT, I did watch some shows like Star Trek (TOS and Next Gen), Cosby Show, Married With Children, Punky Brewster , Quantum Leap (sometimes)...if I missed school I'd watch the Jeffersons, All in the Family and Good Times since they were on during the day...
80's & 90's shows I watched: (non-cartoons) Knight Rider X-Files (still the best.show.ever) Who's The Boss? MacGyver Lois And Clark That 70s Show Millennium Party Of Five WWF (now WWE) Zena: Warrior Princess Young Hercules Twin Peaks Doogie Howser Hercules: The Legendary Journeys Highlander The Young Riders 3rd Rock From The Sun Angel Charmed Hunter Tales From the Crypt Quantum Leap Buffy The Vampire Slayer Married With Children Full House The Twilight Zone Saved By The Bell: Original Fall Guy Matlock

Wow why did you ask this? Few will know any that I name. 1. Father knows Best 2. My three Sons 3. Ozzy and Harriet or better yet on radio: 1. Gun Smoke 2. The Ciscio Kid 3. The Lone Range 4. The B bar B 5. Gang Busters 6. The Shadow and so many more. The mention of Flash Gordon brought back memories of Saturday double features and serials. Buster Crabbe in Flash Gordon. You guys would crack up if you saw just how bad todays productions make them look, but they were great to a kid back then. 10 cent movies and 5 cent popcorn; those were the days.
