#3- "Dukes of Hazzard", let's face it, you just can't find shows that have cars named "General Lee" and some country good ole'boys that are always in some sort of trouble every week. and having someone named Boss Hogg on their case. I see this show and I think, "Man, they couldn't even try to make a show like this in the 90's".

#2-"Misfits of Science", ok, I don't exactly remember any episodes, but I know that I've seen this show. (Courtney Cox, pre-family ties). It's so purely fantasy, people with special scientific powers (telekensis). Yeah, it could happen, only in the 80's.

#1-"Dallas"..the mother of them all, introduced us to "Primetime Soaps". Such memorable characters such as JR, Sue ellen. If only all Texans lived like these people..I wish, no wait, I'm glad I don't live like they did.

1.) Square Pegs - Anyone remember this one? I'll bet Sara Jessica Parker would like to forget it!

2.) All prime time soaps: Dynasty, Falcon Crest, Dallas

Soap - because it parodied the soaps

Benson - because it was a spin-off from soap

Interesting topic. My list of shows that could only have come from the 80s would include:

Knight Rider
Small Wonder
Voyagers!
WKRP in Cincinnati

Here's My List:

Facts Of Life - After Edna's Edibles they had that 80's, pastel splashed store with knick-knacks, that could only survive in the 80's!

Miami Vice - the clothing keeps that one there! :lol:
