The 80's Club
November 20th 2009 08:42
The 80's was television!
In 1986, over 90 per cent of Australians and 86% of American adults watched television daily and the average household had the television set on for seven hours a day.
According most authorities it was "the remote control switch which revolutionized the way we watched TV in the 80s."
And so it came to pass that a golden age for primetime soap operas includig Dallas, Dynasty and Knots Landing all had their legions of faithful viewers.
Sitcoms such as The Cosby Show, Cheers, Family Ties and Married. . .With Children become the thing of legend.
Magnum P.I. and Hill Street Blues graced our screens while Crocket and Tubbs, Maddie and David and a bunch of renegades calling themselves the A-Team had their legion of loyal followers.
From Family Ties to Falcon Crest, Beverley Hills 90210 to Greatest American Hero - the 80's had it all.
But of all the shows - which had your most memorable soundtrack and or program introduction?
21 Jump Street?
The Golden Girls
Baywatch?
Cheers?
