[BeenHereBefore 1,331]

Webster ranked to high.

[posty 2,296]

Cosby should be canceled from the list...

Just by a little?

[easilyscan 558]

Needless to say, my two dads 2022 would be a little different. Cheers would be the only one I'd want to watch again.

Bosom Buddies would be banned for being groomers today.

[bostonlager 2,462]

Married with Children not on the list?

[phillybear 364]

1. Married With Children 1987-1997

2. Night Court 1984-1992

3. Cheers 1982-1993

And then everything else.

One episode, in December...  Sorry, but that doesn't make it an '80s sitcom...

Saved by the Bell shouldn't be listed either IMO, only one of four seasons was done in the '80s...

Ya. Fock that list. 80's was the best decade for everything though

This/ And SOAP

[KSB2424 3,082]

Awesome thread.  I agree with The Cosby Show at #1.  It just was.....

Other notes:

I think of Cheers  and Night Court as an 80's show

How the fock is Married with Children not on this list?

Bang for the buck?  The Golden Girls for all the money. Simply an amazing show.  

[Gepetto 982]

I think I watched every show on this list.

[Cruzer 1,992]

The Jeffersons, no?? Da fuk.

To be fair, there were only three channels.  

[Hardcore troubadour 12,618]

I didn’t see much of those shows. It was the 80’s. I was out having fun when they were on. I do remember the blacks watching that Cosby Show in the tv lounge though. 

[Shooter McGavin 589]

Fyi, this is a user submitted list.  They clearly forgot married with children.  And golden girls is way too high, but I've never seen one episode.  It never appealed to me as a young boy to watch a bunch of old ladies complaining.

[Thornton Melon 542]

No Police Squad???

No Sledgehammer???

Probably hurt some woke feelings is why. 
 

no ma’am 

[Cruzer 1,992]

I get the Married With Children snub.......it first aired in '88, didn't really get it's legs (and Kelly didn't become Kelly) until the 90's. 

 

[wiffleball 4,635]

Notwithstanding all the crap shows that are on that list. Here's how I knew almost instantly that this list was fail.

 

Coach (started 1989)

Coach isn't in the initial list...

[wiffleball 4,635]

 2,3,18,19,28

 

The '80s weren't a Golden era for sitcoms, but certainly were for dramatic television.

[Cdub100 3,379]

I've never watched Cheers.

Not really... If you're going to include Coach, you have to include Seinfeld - which also aired in '89.

That's what I'm saying.

Can't believe dinosaurs didn't make the list.
