Now I know they can mention all the shows but you would think out of this list above atleast two of them would have been mentioned during a 2 hour show lol
Vahan 04-03-2016, 12:22 AM The retrospective had shows from other genres that broke grounds, so they were likely unable to fit everything in a two-hour timeslot.

you right but SMALL WONDER? lol
Svenfan1234 04-03-2016, 10:28 AM Was St. Elsewhere in this special? It was 80s and the best medical drama ever
DJM77 04-03-2016, 10:31 AM Was St. Elsewhere in this special?
Yes, it was.
TVFactFan 04-03-2016, 12:18 PM It was looking like Dynasty wouldn't be m ntioned for a second. Lol
Svenfan1234 04-03-2016, 01:54 PM I figured St. Elsewhere would be included. It is like the best 1980s show.
benjamoon 04-03-2016, 03:28 PM 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

So small wonder was ground breakling?

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.

I have to agree, Small wonder was stupid and managed to get referenced but not a show on NBC for damm near a decade
Gemini_89 04-03-2016, 06:10 PM I have to agree, Small wonder was stupid and managed to get referenced but not a show on NBC for damm near a decade
Exactly!
Gemini_89 04-03-2016, 06:23 PM 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.
TVFactFan 04-03-2016, 06:40 PM 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.
Not to me since the show premiered 2 months before 1979
IllinoisTVFan 04-03-2016, 07:49 PM Does anyone know if you can watch online or will they rerun?
TVFactFan 04-03-2016, 07:52 PM Does anyone know if you can watch online or will they rerun?
Not sure if you have Comcast but it can now be seen on Demand
DJM77 04-04-2016, 11:44 AM It was looking like Dynasty wouldn't be m ntioned for a second. Lol
Right. I kept thinking to myself that eventually they would have to get to Dynasty, Knots Landing, Falcon Crest etc.
Svenfan1234 04-04-2016, 12:59 PM It is odd that DS wasn't included. According to SitcomsOnline, it is an 80s sitcom
Svenfan1234 04-04-2016, 01:00 PM Not sure if you have Comcast but it can now be seen on Demand
He doesn't have cable. He wants to see it online.
IllinoisTVFan 04-05-2016, 01:26 AM I'm a she but I found it online. I do have Comcast and found out I can watch many movies through their website.
