Anyone remember these shows from the 80s?

1. Jennifer Slept Here
2. Sara
3. Goodnight Beantown
4. Just Our Luck
5. Oh, Madeline!
6. Hello Larry
7. Three's a Crowd
8. Love, Sidney

I remember Hello Larry and Three's a Crowd. Isn't Three's a Crowd the one that was like a game show where a husband brought along his secretary in addition to his wife? Then the questions would reveal who he knew better? That show was funny. I've probably seen some of the other ones too. In the 80's, some of the ones I watched were Alf, Facts of Life, Cheers, Cosby Show, A-Team, Married with Children, Wonder Years, Golden Girls, Family Ties, Roseanne, Full House, Night Court, Growing Pains, Newhart, Who's the Boss, Murphy Brown, Mama's Family, MacGyver, Coach, Knight Rider, Matlock, etc. Those are good memories.

I remember that Three's a Crowd as well, but I was referring to a show that was a follow-up to Three's Company, with John Ritter and Mary Cadorette.

Love, Sidney, along with Soap, were among the first sitcoms to feature gay characters. Brothers, which aired on Showtime in the 80s, was the first sitcom to deal with LGBT lifestyle issues head-on.

I didn't know until a week ago that Ann Jillian played Jennifer on Jennifer Slept Here. For the longest time, I thought Teri Garr played her.

Sara was the sitcom that introduced the world to Geena Davis and Matthew Lawrence (who would join his older brother Joey on Gimme a Break in its final season).

Goodnight Beantown featured Bill Bixby and Mariette Hartley as TV news reporters. G.W. Bailey, who played the station manager on the series (as well as Officer Harris in the Police Academy movies), is a fellow Texas State alumnus.
