TT #80: tv-series from the 80's

Thirteen of my favourite tv-series from the 80's This is my 80th TT, so I wanted to do something with 80 --> The 80's! I'm an 80's girl as I was 12 to 22 in these years. This time I chose tv-series, that were broadcast in the 80's. I guess you all know many of them, don't you? Star Trek The Next Generation - It started in 1987, my favourite Star Trek series with my favourite actor Patrick Stewart, great cast, great plots. I met Patrick stewart when he introduced the first DVD-box in The Netherlands. I have all 7 boxes (and 7 DS9, and 7 Voyager, and all the movies, and even more!) Foofur - The cartoon with the blue dog (I named my little dog Foofur after him) who inherits his wealthy master's estate and my fave character Fencer the karate cat. You can see the show opening here. Beauty and the Beast - Ron Perlman in a magnificent role as 'beast' Vincent, with Linda Hamilton as 'beauty' Catherine. How I loved this series! The underworld was so beautiful, I wanted to live there. Always waiting for the kiss, but when they finally did it was edited out! Does anyone know if there are DVD's? Shaka Zulu - The true story of the life and rise to power of Shaka, the greatest Zulu leader in history. Prophecy is mixed with recorded fact regarding Shaka's birth, exile, innovations in warfare, assumption of the throne, building of the Zulu Empire, first contact with Europe and the events that lead to his downfall. The Thorn Birds - The forbidden love between Maggie Cleary and the family's priest, Father Ralph de Bricassart, was followed over a period of 60 years. My favourite scene is when they finally get together, not yet knowing all the consequences... V and V - Lizard aliens come to Earth to ask for help, but they have a hidden agenda. Great series with star roles by Marc Singer (as Mike Donovan) and Robert Englund ('nice' lizard Willie). The scariest part was the birthing scene of alien/human twins... (be warned) Fame - I didn't want to miss this for anything! The perfect mix of musical and drama. Leroy, Danny, Doris, Coco... The songs always fit perfectly. 'Starmaker' was a fave song, but so were so many others! I still believe in me, Out here on my own, Life is a celebration, see a live medley here. MacGyver - With Richard Dean Anderson as the secret agent who could always find a solution by inventing something with stuff that 'happened to be there'. I had a bit of a crush on him... :-) Jake & The Fatman - Veteran district attorney "Fatman" McCabe solves cases with the help of his easygoing private investigator partner Jake Styles. I've always liked series like these, where an attorney, or doctor, or whoever solves 'the case'. Growing Pains - Family series like this, but also Family Ties, Who's the Boss, etc. are still fun to watch. Tracey Gold as Carol was my fave, as if I knew she was sharing my secret, bulimia... Dallas - O yes, I was a fan! Asshole J.R., drunk Sue Ellen, sexy Lucy, nice Bobby, beautiful Pamela and all the others kept me interested. I hated to have to wait a whole week to see the next episode. Cliffhanger "who shot J.R." was worldwide news... Miami Vice - Sonny and Rico with sunglasses and cool clothes, the Ferrari (Crockett's Ferrari Daytona was actually a modified Corvette. Ferrari executives were so upset that this ersatz Ferrari was gaining such popularity that they offered to provide the series with their new flagship car, the Testarossa.) and above all: great music! The soundtrack is the most successful TV soundtrack of all time. Crockett's theme is a classic. ‘Allo ‘Allo - René Artois is the owner and manager of a café in German-occupied France of World War II. Hilarious British comedy with characters like Officer Crabtree, Herr Flick, Lt. Gruber and all the others. But oh my goddess... there are so much more I loved! Ehmm.... Mork & Mindy, Tour of Duty, Magnum P.I., Knight Rider, A-team, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Blackadder, Cheers, Empty Nest, Alf, Love Boat, Family Ties, Who’s The Boss, Punky Brewster, St. Elsewhere, Tales of the Unexpected, Webster, Cagney and Lacey, Alfred Hitchcock Presents, etc. etc. etc......... ~*~*~*~ Links to other Thursday Thirteens! ~*~ Sue ~*~ The Gal Herself ~*~ Chelle Y. ~*~ Anthony North ~*~ Sandy Carlson ~*~ Hailey's Mommy ~*~ Hootin' Anni ~*~ Patty ~*~ B Boys Mom ~*~ Claudia ~*~ Susan Helene ~*~ Angelle ~*~ Lucy ~*~ Cordia Amant ~*~ Lori ~*~ Journeywoman ~*~ Adelle ~*~ Meju ~*~ Grace ~*~ Sandy M ~*~ Darla ~*~ Carolan Ivey ~*~ December ~*~ Chris ~*~ Firefly mom ~*~ Sassy Mama Bear ~*~ Brenda ND ~*~ verabear ~*~ Get the Thursday Thirteen code here!
