View Full Version : Got any favorite 80s dramas?
Devon King 05-10-2001, 12:34 AM 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.

Cokies 05-10-2001, 01:37 AM 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...

dawsongirl 05-10-2001, 04:18 PM 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!!
Devon King 05-10-2001, 10:09 PM 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.
(Hey, quit laughing! I warned you! <grin>
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.
sambino5 05-11-2001, 10:41 AM I remeber Knight Rider. I loved his car it was so pretty. You are not the only one who remebers it.

Devon King 05-14-2001, 10:43 PM 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.
