- CreatorPaul MazurskyLarry TuckerStarsDavy JonesMicky DolenzPeter TorkThe misadventures of a struggling rock group.Speaking of quirky shows, this one took the country by storm. Though it was only on for 2 seasons, the show deeply impacted pop music and the formula for building overnight sensations on TV.

- CreatorBlanche HanalisStarsMelissa GilbertMichael LandonKaren GrassleThe life and adventures of the Ingalls family in the nineteenth century American Midwest.Before VCRs and DVRs, we had to be home on Monday nights for our weekly dose of Pa Ingalls and the rest of the Ingalls clan. This was guaranteed tearjerker and we loved it.
- DirectorGene SaksStarsJack LemmonWalter MatthauJohn FiedlerA New Yorker newly separated from his wife moves in with his best friend, a divorced sportswriter, but their ideas of housekeeping and lifestyles are as different as night and day.I don't think this show could have been more perfectly cast.

- CreatorDavid DavisLorenzo MusicStarsBob NewhartSuzanne PleshetteBill DailyThe professional and personal misadventures of a psychologist and his family, patients, friends and colleagues.Another great cast of characters.

- CreatorMarshall HerskovitzEdward ZwickStarsTimothy BusfieldPolly DraperMel HarrisSeven tricenarians living in Philadelphia struggle with everyday adult angst.This was a show that was perfect for the 80s.
