Favorite TV By Decade


/dev/null

Recommended Posts

Looking back over the decades of your life, what were your favorite TV shows in each decade?

 

For me, it's 1980s-1990s: Star Trek Next Generation + Deep Space 9.  TNG spanned both decades and was somewhat continued into DS9

2000s: Breaking Bad

2010s: Game of Thrones

many favorites in my early years

 

60's: Johnny Quest, flintstones, batman and robin, lost in space, twilight zone, gunsmoke, adam 12, mod squad

 

70's: sanford and son, all in the family, welcome back kotter, m*a*s*h, happy days, baa baa black sheep,  kojack, the waltons

 

from the 80's where I was in my twenties, until 5 years ago I worked a lot and didn't have the time nor desire to watch much tv. here in the 21st century no longer working I find time in the evenings to catch pluto tv that has a wide variety of tv shows and I can catch some of the old classics. I also use crackle tv for all in the family and other classics.

1980s:  Mitsubishi 36" cabinet set;  Dad bought it for luxury viewing of Holtz era Notre Dame football

1990s:  Sony 27" bought with first wife;  I got it the divorce, workhorse that held me for a number of years

2000s:  Sony 32" bought when it was time for bachelor upgrades

2010s:  Samsung 55" smart HDTV;  my first leap into modern TVs.  Soon to be the kids' room TV so will be shopping for a new Dad TV end of this year.

  1960's - As a child.  First memory of any prime time program was the first rebroadcast of Star Trek "The Corbomite Maneuver."  Balok scared the crap out of me as a pre-schooler.  The Andy Griffith Show. I Love Lucy reruns.  Batman late in the series' run.

 

  1970's - Watched a lot of non-kid programming even though I was a kid.  The Bob Newhart Show.  Mary Tyler Moore.  All in the Family.  Afternoon programming of Gilligan's Island, The Brady Bunch, The Flintstones.  Gomer Pyle.

 

  1980's - College and work occupied a lot of my time.  Family Ties, Hill Street Blues, St Elsewhere, and Newhart.

 

  1990's - Seinfeld, The Simpson's, ST-TNG.

 

  2000's -  24. The Big Bang Theory.

  I liked Baa Baa Black Sheep.  At that point of time school was fairly easy for me and not a lot was expected in terms helping out so I had a fair amount of time for television.  We did not live close to anything then so a lot of evenings were spent at home.

We all value your opinions, but not on this topic. Nothing horrible here, but you missed everything great

 

No MTM? No MASH? No Cheers? 

 

I hope with some therapy you can heal and get better.

Ok. Ok. So I overlooked a few of your favorites like “The Facts of Life” and “Silver Spoons”. Geez....sorry!

You bastard I missed this...now deleting my post :bag:

 

On a serious note, No A-team, MacGyver, or any of those awesome 80s shows?

Didn't have much time for  tv in the 80&90s so it would be wrestling and football.

2000s - 24 , hands down, my favorite show of all time.

Nothing really stuck out like that for me this decade. I have liked many shows but i guess my favorite would historical search shows like Oak Island and Hunting Hitler and the like.

I kinda like the new flat screens (2017s) compared to the old CRT ones. Although my 3000 pound 36" 4:3 Sony from early the 2000s holds a special place in my heart, it was s big step up from one of these:

I had High Tech as a kid
