Favorite TV show from the '80s

[DontSayBanana]

I forgot about Night Court, that was a great show.

"Bob and June Wheeler, as I live and breathe!"

Although it lost a few points in my book when I finally found out why Karen Austin disappeared after the first season.  Karen Austin >>> Markie Post.

Magnum PI, Cosby, Hill Street Blues, In the Heat of the Night, Night Court, Matlock.  I'm sensing a trend here.

You're missing Hunter. And/or Slegde Hammer.

Sledge Hammer and Police Squad were great shows, but they lasted such a short period of time that I hesitated to call them favorites--I'm not sure that they could have kept up the quality if they'd run longer.

Sledge Hammer's beauty was that it was silly and ludicrous, and more often than not went for the cheap joke, but all charactersare aware of the stupidity and silliness - with the exception of Hammer (and often the villain) who plays it straight with endearing naivete. But I agree, I doubt it could have sustained its level for long.

And went out with a pretty good un-fulfilled cliffhanger.

You mean the atom bomb? That was end of season 1. They returned in season 2 with an announcement, that the new season was taking place before the events of the last episode of season 1.

Yeah, it wasn't really a cliffhanger.  The bomb went off, and everybody died.

Why did she leave the show?

[Tonitrus]

I just presumed it was probably because Markie Post had bigger...tracts of land.

Quick look said she had a few months of facial paralysis post bell's palsy.

Markie Post didn't become a regular until season 3. Until then, she was just an occasional cast member.

Until then, she was just an occasional cast member.

Because she was busy on The Fall Guy. Though she had nothing on Heather Locklear.

NBC's Thursday night line up was amazing:  Cosby, Family Ties, Cheers and then my favorite, Night Court.

Moonlighting was great right up until they ruined the show by getting hooked up, but I used to fucking cancel plans when it came to Miami Vice on Friday nights.

Yeah I watched that NBC line-up every Thursday Night when my parents would go out.  It was the only night I watched TV though so I do not feel very qualified to start naming my favorites.  Different World also came on that night eventually, I loved that show to.

What ruined Moonlighting was actor problems not getting them together, they just happened to occur at the same time.

She's got no tummy.
