I remember Cliffhangers.

The Curse of Dracula

Stop Susan Williams

The Secret Empire

The Dracula segments were my favorite.  The show actually started and ended in 1979.

I TOTALLY agree with the Cosby Show.  It's supposed to be like, the best show of the eighties, but it is really quite boring.  I love Full House but in its 80s years it acted a bit too adult (saying "Damn" and "Hell" all the time).

Does anyone remember 'The Brady Brides'?  It was on the air for a short time in 1981 - in this version of the show Marcia and Jan are now married and sharing a house with their new husbands.  Alice also popped in to visit them regularly.  I saw a few episodes on the Family Channel a few years ago and thought it was even sillier than the original Brady Bunch.
