Television screens in the 1980s reflected some of the most
memorable programs of all time. In that decade, such critically
acclaimed shows as Cheers, The Golden Girls, Hill Street Blues,
Newhart, and St. Elsewhere debuted. In that same decade, iconic
shows like The A-Team, Baywatch, Cagney & Lacey, Knight Rider,
MacGyver, Miami Vice, and Roseanne appealed to millions of viewers.
Even after these shows departed the airwaves, they live on in
syndication and on DVDs, entertaining many generations of viewers.
In Television Series of the 1980s: Essential Facts and Quirky
Details, Vincent Terrace presents readers with a cornucopia of
information about more than seventy programs from the decade. For
example, did you know that Sam Malone had an ex-wife named Deborah?
Or that MacGyver's alias was Dexter Fillmore? Or Dan Fielding's
license plate on Night Court read "Hot to Trot"? These are just a
handful of hundreds of fun and intriguing specifics found inside
this volume. Programs from all four major networks (ABC, CBS, FOX,
and NBC)-as well as select syndicated programs-are represented
here. This is not a book of opinions or essays about specific
television programs but a treasure trove of facts associated with
each show. From the name of Roseanne's diner to the title of
Jessica Fletcher's first novel, readers will discover a wealth of
fascinating information that, for the most part, cannot be found
elsewhere. In some cases, the factual data detailed herein is the
only such documentation that currently exists on bygone shows of
the era. Television Series of the 1980s is the ideal reference for
fans of this decade and anyone looking to stump even the most
knowledgeable trivia expert.
