/dev/null Posted April 9, 2019 Posted April 9, 2019 Looking back over the decades of your life, what were your favorite TV shows in each decade? For me, it's 1980s-1990s: Star Trek Next Generation + Deep Space 9. TNG spanned both decades and was somewhat continued into DS9 2000s: Breaking Bad 2010s: Game of Thrones 1

I also use crackle tv for all in the family and other classics. 2

First memory of any prime time program was the first rebroadcast of Star Trek "The Corbomite Maneuver." Balok scared the crap out of me as a pre-schooler. The Andy Griffith Show. I Love Lucy reruns. Batman late in the series' run. 1970's - Watched a lot of non-kid programming even though I was a kid. The Bob Newhart Show. Mary Tyler Moore. All in the Family. Afternoon programming of Gilligan's Island, The Brady Bunch, The Flintstones. Gomer Pyle. 1980's - College and work occupied a lot of my time. Family Ties, Hill Street Blues, St Elsewhere, and Newhart. 1990's - Seinfeld, The Simpson's, ST-TNG. 2000's - 24. The Big Bang Theory. 2 hours ago, DaBillsFanSince1973 said: many favorites in my early years 60's: Johnny Quest, flintstones, batman and robin, lost in space, twilight zone, gunsmoke, adam 12, mod squad 70's: sanford and son, all in the family, welcome back kotter, m*a*s*h, happy days, baa baa black sheep, kojack, the waltons from the 80's where I was in my twenties, until 5 years ago I worked a lot and didn't have the time nor desire to watch much tv. here in the 21st century no longer working I find time in the evenings to catch pluto tv that has a wide variety of tv shows and I can catch some of the old classics.

At that point of time school was fairly easy for me and not a lot was expected in terms helping out so I had a fair amount of time for television. We did not live close to anything then so a lot of evenings were spent at home.
shrader Posted April 10, 2019 Posted April 10, 2019 I haven’t put too much thought into the last two decades yet, but I will start with 80s: Cheers 90s: Simpsons/Seinfeld 1
Gugny Posted April 10, 2019 Posted April 10, 2019 80s - Cheers 90s - Seinfeld 00s - Two and a Half Men 10s - Jeopardy/Mets/Bills/Cooking Shows 1
BringBackFergy Posted April 10, 2019 Posted April 10, 2019 1970's - Happy Days 1980's - Love Boat, Dukes of Hazard, Fantasy Island, The Jefferson's, Sabres Hockey with Ted Darling, Real People, College Football with that big dude with the awesome voice 1990's - The Real World (LOL), Hill Street Blues, Simpsons, Saturday Night Live, Dave Letterman 2000's - Gold Rush (Todd Hoffman is a dink), Iron Chef America, Sopranos, The Office 2010's - BBQ Pitmasters, Maine Cabin Masters, Pennsylvanians Who Cook Roadkill
Reed83HOF Posted April 10, 2019 Posted April 10, 2019 I kinda like the new flat screens (2017s) compared to the old CRT ones. Although my 3000 pound 36" 4:3 Sony from early the 2000s holds a special place in my heart, it was s big step up from one of these: (1970s/80s)

Nothing horrible here, but you missed everything great. No MTM? No MASH? No Cheers? I hope with some therapy you can heal and get better.

You bastard I missed this...now deleting my post On a serious note, No A-team, MacGyver, or any of those awesome 80s shows? Edited April 10, 2019 by Reed83HOF
Buffalo Barbarian Posted April 10, 2019 Posted April 10, 2019 Didn't have much time for tv in the 80&90s so it would be wrestling and football. 2000s - 24 , hands down, my favorite show of all time. Nothing really stuck out like that for me this decade. I have liked many shows but i guess my favorite would historical search shows like Oak Island and Hunting Hitler and the like.
