Let me place it on the unclehobart-o-meter from bad to worst:
house fire> Baywatch> double amputation> MTV reality programs> world war 2> Survivor> electrodes on the genitals> Super Bowl halftime shows> the black plague> MacGuyver
Night Court ruled. Markie Post used to make me sweat.
I hated the Cosby show, but only because of that drill seargent of a mother. Ahmad's ol' lady...whatsername. Otherwise, it was pretty cool.
I spent most of the 80s in front of a stereo when home, or in search of the alluring and elusive teenage beaver when not at home, so I don't remember much TV from the 80s.
