I was SO BUSY in the '80's that I didn't consistantly watch much, but here's my list:
Lots of PBS programming, including Brit-stuff like
"All Creatures Great and Small"
and
"Dr. Who" (BOTH had Peter Davison)
"Max Headroom" (I SWEAR--Kryton from "Red Dwarf" was modeled after him)
"A-Team" --my daughters didn't watch then, buy ALWAYS watch the reruns
"Moonlighting" didn't watch it and regret it
"The Muppet Show" (went OFF the air in 1981)
"North and South" --Civil War Series--my daughters wore out their videotapes AND the books after we watched it first in 1985
"The Blue and the Grey" --Civil War Series, STILL watch my DVD copy
Watched and taped, "Sesame Street" for my daughers, who were ALL reading by age 3 because of it
(It's NOT the same show, anymore--how could they take away CookieMonster's cookies?!?!?!?!?!?)
