Henry Banthrob and Matt Rungus of Brohans have picked their Definitive Top 20 TV Shows from The 80s - and they seem pretty sure about the list:
Hey guys, how can you claim that this list is absolute?
We grew up in the 80s (and consequently, continued growing up throughout the 90s and through the present). We watched TV all the friggin time. The TV was like an uncle to us. The greatest uncle in the world.
Why only 20? Why not 80?
Because there were exactly 20 good shows in the 80s. We’re certain of it.
See if you agree with them or not (and yes, one of my favorites low-brow series, Night Court, is included): Link - Thanks Henry!
