The retrospective had shows from other genres that broke grounds, so they were likely unable to fit everything in a two-hour timeslot.

Was St. Elsewhere in this special? It was 80s and the best medical drama ever

I figured St. Elsewhere would be included. It is like the best 1980s show.

While popular at the time, none of those shows you listed were groundbreakers or regarded widely as classics from the era compared to shows like Cheers, The Cosby Show, Hill Street Blues, St. Elsewhere, Dallas, etc

The Facts of Life was groundbreaking for women, especially young girls questioning their sexuality, minority girls, and women who are struggling with their weight.

Being one of the longest running sitcoms and the longest running FEMALE sitcom to date.

Is Different Strokes considered a 70s sitcom because it premiered in 1978? If they did a 70s edition then it most definitely should have been included.

Right. I kept thinking to myself that eventually they would have to get to Dynasty, Knots Landing, Falcon Crest etc.

It is odd that DS wasn't included. According to SitcomsOnline, it is an 80s sitcom
