I saw Lavar Burton on TV the other day and of course he was answering some question about Reading Rainbow. It got me thinking about my favorite 80's TV shows. What are some of yours?

I'll start:

The Muppet Show
Quantum Leap
Family Ties
Wonder Years
Who's the Boss?

I was born in the late 80s, so I didn't consciously experience that decade, but... my all-time favourite show of the 80s has always been and will always be the original Transformers.

The Beetlejuice cartoon. Came out in '89, so it just barely counts as an '80s show.
