View Full Version : What era had the best shows to you? 1975-85 or 1985 to 1995?
TVFactFan 12-17-2004, 01:21 PM I feel that 75-85 was the best era in Tv history. So many of my favorite shows and other Tv programs are from this era. Even Sports was better during this era. 1985-95 was good until 1991 and then i don't know what happend
Dean Winchester 12-17-2004, 02:01 PM I would say 75-85 for the sheer number of classic shows that premiered in this timeframe. There were some good shows between 85-95 like Roseanne, 227, Golden Girls, Seinfeld, Ellen and The Simpsons, but nothing like the number of shows that premiered between 75-85

Who's the Boss?, Growing Pains, The A-Team, The Golden Girls, Cheers, Wings, Boy Meets World, Friends, Frasier, and many more in that time period :)

I would count WTB, A-Team and Cheers as 75-85 myself since they made their debuts in that era
Dean Winchester 12-17-2004, 05:54 PM come to think about it, 74-84 and 84-94 seem to work better as distinctive eras than 75-85 and 85-95. Because Good Times and Happy Days, both classic shows premiered in 74, and Cosby Show, Night Court, Who's The Boss and Murder She Wrote all made their debuts in 84, all of which became classics and launched a new tv era, and then Friends premiered in 94 and that launched another era.

Cheers, Seinfeld, Friends and Frasier.
I know Cheers began in '82, but it didn't start gaining popularity until around '85, and it lasted well into the 90s, so I'm counting it.

Hmmm that's true :)
robby76 12-17-2004, 09:50 PM Definitely 1975-84... it truly was the birth of tv for me. After that tv became a little too samey.
Also loved things like Automan, V, Just Our Luck, 8 is Enough, Battlestar Gallactiva. Britcom was also good during that period... Are U bEING sERVED, Only When I Laugh, Mind Your Language.

Belair 12-18-2004, 08:47 AM I like alot of sitcoms from the 1970's,1980's,and the 1990's.Definetly not fond of current sitcoms too much.Give me the classics any day.
tylerjjj 12-19-2004, 09:42 PM 85-95. Roseanne, Cheers, Seinfeld, and Everybody Loves Raymond are some of my favorites.
GARFIELDKOOL 12-21-2004, 11:45 AM It all depends on your taste and preferences. But I would say 75-85 because TV was innovative back then. Writing was better, and sitcoms were belly-aching funnier back then.
Professor Plum 12-24-2004, 01:24 AM 1975-1985 era, by a landslide.
dandelion wine 12-24-2004, 01:51 AM No question about it: 1975 - 1985. :)
