Default Worst TV shows of the 1980s

Since MacGyver was mentioned in the other thread, and it aired mostly in the 1980s, I figured we were ready to move back a decade.

I should note- I remember the 1985 Fall Preview issue of TV Guide, which included a page on MacGyver and my teenage self thought that Richard Dean Anderson was quite possibly the most beautiful man I'd ever seen. I know, me and Marge Simpson's sisters. What can I say, it was the 1980s. I also had a thing for Andrew McCarthy.

While I would not nominate Magnum PI for one of the worst shows, I will take any excuse to link to this:

Han Solo PI

Nobody better say Dallas, or I will cut you.

Oh, I forgot to offer one up. Small Wonder. Girl is a robot because of course she is. Or maybe Out of This World where girl is half alien, and not the kind that Congress is worked up about.

My wife would leave me in a NY minute for a day with Tom Selleck....but then again she'd leave me for Daffy Duck..

Ah, the 1980s- the final decade where mustaches could be cool, and not just a punchline.

Mr. Belvedere was a terrible, terrible show.

Christina Applegate is a very funny lady. She was a riot in Anchorman.
