Top 20 Shows of the 80’s
Over at Brohans.com, there is compiled a list of the top 20 shows of the 1980s. While they do include the first shows that I thought of offhand, (Growing Pains, The Cosby Show, Cheers, etc.), there are a few notable absences. No Family Ties? No Dallas? Hill Street Blues? And, really, did they not think of Pee-wee’s Playhouse? (Okay, so I’m joking on that one.)
Go check out the list for yourself and let me know which shows you think got the shaft.

Pee Wee’s playhouse was actually pretty good.

The Playhouse was the frontrunner for kid’s programming today. Without Pee Wee, there wouldn’t be a Blues’ Clues.
While I’m at it: Hill Street Blues defined the cop drama, and Dallas pioneered the cliff-hanger season finale that annoys me to no end now.
Didn’t Letterman start in the 80’s, too? And Oprah?
The more I think about it, the worse that list gets.

Jack: It was okay. Not one I had to see.
Bald Man: Did you even look at the list? ;)

Yes, and I found it lacking…
