Okay, so it's a safe bet we all like to laugh <grin> -- but what about other programs? Specifically: dramas from the 80s.

Why the 80s? 'Cos the decade seems to be enjoying a comeback and -- even though some folk would have you believe that *nothing* worthwhile happened in the 1980s -- I think there were some pretty neat shows on then.

Well, drama's, eh? Does The A-Team count? http://www.sitcomsonline.com/ubb/wink.gif
Just kidding... I actually have watched some reruns of L.A. Law that I quite enjoyed. It's much better than any 'court drama' on today. They're all basically rip-offs...

Dallas was pretty good. Anyone remember Lou Grant, the MTM spin-off one-hour drama?

Tim Brooks and Earl Marsh's book lists this as a poilce drama, so I suppose it applies here. I love the short lived sci-fi cop series Automan. That show kicks butt!!

Here's a few I thought were worthy. (Watch out -- they range from the slick to the sappy!)
Midnight Caller, China Beach, Paradise, and Beauty and the Beast.

Does anyone remember The Knight Rider? That was the show with Kit the talking car. I guess it would be considered more action than drama. I used to watch it but now it sounds kind of cheesy. Just wondering if anyone else remembers it.

I remeber Knight Rider. I loved his car it was so pretty. You are not the only one who remebers it.

JoPol_wannabe -- You're right! Moonlighting should be included among the classics, too!

factsoflife -- Knots Landing was *a lot* of fun. Lots of devious people on that show <grin>

HerDaddy -- You know, I didn't really appreciate Thirtysomething until I caught it in re-runs. It was addictive.

I used to watch the old E/R show. With George Clooney in it. Does anyone remember this show? It had Eliott Gould in it.
