I wasn't born in the 80s, but I own these favourite TV Shows of mine. There mostly comedy as I like comedy.

The Comic Strip Presents - Although this is a continuing series, it's episodes in the 80s are good.

The Young Ones - I :heart: it. Excellent.

Blackadder.

Not The Nine O Clock News.

Filthy, Rich, And Catflap - I wish I had this uncut, as they cut out nearly everything, and it looks more like a compilation than an actual show.

Among my personal 80s favorites were (in no particular order)

Pee-Wee's Playhouse (quite bizarre, but that was its charm)
Pole Position
Dungeons and Dragons
Saturday Supercade
Pac Man
COPS (Central Organization of Police Specialists)
Voltron
Super Mario Bros. Super Show
Comic Strip (though I only remembered 3/4 of the cartoons on it)
Captain Power (I never really understood the storylines, I just dug the visual effect)
Alf (both live-action and cartoon incarnations)
