I think that you will find that life has a tendancy to \naffect television rather than the other way around.\n\nIn the mid 80's you find that many of the shows that were popular in the past are dying out and newer shows are taking their place.  For some of these shows, the reason is simply that most TV shows die out quickly.  Other shows rise and fall can be contributes to the changing social ideals of the time.  The 80's brought with it the end of the Cold War and a whole new attitude in our society.  The days of the happy, peace-loving "hippies" were fading as a new generation of hard-rock, head banging, party animals arises.  Society is becoming ever more tolerant of imperfections and television programs reflect that.\n\nWe see an end of hit shows like M*A*S*H (1972-1983), American Bandstand (1957-1989)\n\nCrime shows like Charlie's Angels (1976-1981), CHiPs (1977-1983), Hawaii Five-O (1968-1980) are replaced with Night Court (1984-1992), Falcon Crest (1981-1990), L.A. Law (1986-1994), Murder, She Wrote (1984-1996), and Matlock (1986-1995)\n\nFamily shows like Happy Days (1974-1984), The Jeffersons (1975-1985), Three's Company (1977-1984), The Facts of Life (1979-1988) and The Waltons (1972-1981) are replaced with Full House (1987-1995), Roseanne (1988-1997), Married...With Children (1987-1997), Growing Pains (1985-1992), The Wonder Years (1988-1993) and Who's the Boss (1984-1992)\n\nComedies like Mork & Mindy (1978-1982) and Taxi (1978-1983) are replaced with Seinfield (1989-1998), ALF (1986-1990), The Golden Girls (1985-1992), Coach (1989-1997) and Cheers (1982-1993)\n\nChildrens shows like Bozo's Circus (1961-1980), Captain Kangaroo (1955-1984), The Jetsons (1962-1987), Tom and Jerry (1940-1980), The Muppet Show (1976-1981) and The Yogi Bear Show (1958-1988) give way to Muppet Babies (1984-1990), The Smurfs (1981-1989), Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1987-1996), Transformers (1984-1987), Punky Brewster (1984-1986), Duck Tales (1987-1990), The Looney Toons Show (1988-2006), Kids Incorporated (1984-1993) and Inspector Gadget (1983-1986)\n\nSome 80's shows that are still around:\nThis Old House (1980-), Strawberry Shortcake (1980-), The Simpsons (1989-), The People's Court (1981-), Primetime Live (1989-), Oprah (1986-), Larry King Live (1985-), Grand Ol' Opry (1985-), Entertainment Tonight (1981-), COPS (1989-), The Bold and the Beautiful (1987-), America's Most Wanted (1988-), America's Funniest Home Videos (1989-)\n\nI hope this is of some help to you.  As I said before, you must keep in mind that television usually reflects societies views rather than influencing society.  A good example is the shift in top shows between the 70's and 80's.  The #1 family show in the 70's was the Brady Bunch.  Other than the odd combination of two different families, it was pretty straight laced.  #1 in the 80's, "Full House".  Still pretty straight laced, but you see a man raising his four daughters alone, one uncle who is a comedian/goof ball, and another who is a leather wearing rocker.  Quite a shift from The Brady Bunch.  As the 80's progress we see even more drastic changes to Roseanne and Married...With Children.  Formerly "taboo" subjects like sex and drugs become common in the story lines.\n\nAs you can see, society changes television.  Television, very rarely, changes society.

Rags to Riches.  Mid 80s.  I was in first grade when it was popular.  I had a neighbor who was obsessed with that show.  I remember one episode where they met Elvis.

Actually YES. I think your question is awesome. I wish I was a teenager back in the 80s. However, I'm really glad that I was a little kid in the 80's cause of the best cartoons, toys, tv shows, etc. so I don't really have any regrets.
