Well, as far as TV goes, I loved the obvious Muppety endevores, so I won't repeat anything by posting them.

I loved TMNT (I love both animated versions, it's that Live action TV show that really stunk)
ALF (in all 3 shows, cartoon forms especially)
Inspector Gadget
Heathcliff (the DIC version, I've never seen the Ruby Spears edition)
Super Mario Brothers Super Show
Square One Mathmatics
Garfield and Friends
Thunder cats
The Completely Mental Misadventures of Ed Grimley
Ducktales
Gummi Bears
Chip n' Dale: Rescue Rangers (though I wonder what it would have been like had they used the Rescuers instead, like they originally intended).

As for 80's shows I've seen now (ones I really didn't grow up with) are Dragon Ball (not z or GT), Dr. Slump, Kinnikuman, and Saint Seiya (these were not available for me to watch back then)

As for Movies, I love Star Wars 5+6 (though I didn't see them until much later)
ET
Naked Gun
Who Framed Roger Rabbit
And I can't think of any more.

Above the Law is a classic! Steven Seagal's film debut. One of the three films of his I can watch over and over. The other two are Out for Justice and Under Siege.

How could I forget to leave this one off my TV list?

Small Wonder

Remember this show? It was a syndicated series that ran between 1985 and 1989, and was about an engineer at a robotics company who creates Vicki, a robot that resembles a 10-year-old girl, as a companion for his lonely son. The "joke" was, even though Vicki spoke in robotic tones, the family tried to keep her real identity a secret from the outside world. I think Vicki even "slept" standing up in a closet in the son's room...kinda creepy, now that I think about it...:eek:

Anyway, the best part of the show was always Edie McClurg (the secretary from Ferris Bueller, Match Game, Password, Hollywood Squares) as a nosy neighbor.
