Danny, Joey and Jesse dug up a time capsule on an episode of "Full House"- oh wait, that's not this kind of topic... ;-) (that's what I was first thinking of when I saw it though- and that is a fairly common sitcom theme it seems...)
I will try to take a stab at this- some shows that to me typify these decades (in that either the shows were popular then or today they are regarded as synonymous with that decade- or just my favorite shows from then.)
