The 70s.
I start with this decade, because if we go even further back, it's impossible for me to name shows, because I wasn't born until 1984, so I haven't seen many older shows. Even my knowledge of 70s televison is small, but I will mention two Brittish drama series: "I, Claudius" and "The Flambards". I will also mention two American sitcoms, that I used to watch: "Happy days" and "Mork & Mindy".

The 80s.
Yeah, I was born in the middle of this decade, but I still know more about this decade than about the 70s, mostly thanks to my mother and my sister.

Dallas
North and south
The golden girls
The Cosby show
Alf
Family Ties


The 90s.
Okay, now we're really talking my game. I'm even leaving the shows from this decade, which aren't sitcoms, because the sitcoms are plenty enough to mention.

Family Matters
Step by step
The nanny
Sister sister
Fresh Prince of Bel Air
Smart guy
Hanging with Mr Cooper
