    Classic TV shows from the 70s/80s

    I'm currently watching re-runs of 'The Fresh Prince of Bel Air' and it got me thinking of all the great TV shows and cartoons from yesteryear I grew up watching as a child. What shows defined your teen years or childhood from past decades? In Britain, we've had our fair share of U.S TV imports, so many of my favourites will be familiar to an American audience. I'll start us off:

    Degrassi Junior High
    Red hand gang
    Captain Caveman
    Inspector Gadget
    Galaxy High
    Saved by the Bell
    Beverly Hills 90210
    Manimal
    Small Wonder
    He-man
    Thundercats
    ALF
    It's your move
    Head of the class
    Different World
    CHIPS
    Fraggle Rock
    Dungeons and Dragons
    Moonlighting
    Wonder Years
    The Littlest Hobo
    MacGyver
    Quantum Leap

    There's loads more...
