Your favourite tv show/movie from every decade you have been alive ?

I will start

1990s Friends
2000s Big brother
2010s big bang theory
2020s stranger things
80s Knight Rider
90s Friends (VERY close second goes to Saved by the Bell)
00s West Wing
10s Series of Unfortunate Events
20s Stranger Things Bluey! Best show on television, hands down.

Edited to correct my obvious error in choosing Stranger Things over Bluey :drinking:

50's I Love Lucy
60's Laugh In. Hard to pick because some of the best TV shows ever made were made in the 1960s.
70's Adam 12. 1970's also produced some very good TV shows, shows that have survived the test of time.
80's St. Elsewhere. Hill Street Blues a close second.
90's See the above shows. With two small children in the house didn't watch a lot of TV, but when TV Land Nite at Night went on the air in 1996 the classic shows they ran were far better that the first run new shows.
00's I just browsed lists of top shows of the 2000s, and not a single one I ever watched. I suspect I watched a lot of baseball.
10's. Baseball and anything HGTV. I just looked at IMDBs list of top 100 TV shows of the decade, and most I have never heard of.
20' Only Murderers in the Building. Retired in 2011 and spent my first few months binge watching Perry Mason, Adam 12, Emergency, Love It Or List It, Dateline, Forensic Files, Match Game.
 
I copied and edited TVGUY's format.

60's - Laugh In. (I was born in 70, but this was a great show)
70's - Six Million Dollar Man, Hooper, Smokey and the Bandit
80's - The Fall Guy, Stripes, Hollywood Knights
90's - X-Files, Friends, Dazed and Confused, Pulp Fiction
00's - Entourage, 24, The Departed, Friday Night Lights, Pirates of the Caribbean (Black Pearl), Grandma's Boy
10's. - Halt and Catch Fire, Silicon Valley, Django Unchained, Bohemian Rhapsody, Deadpool, Guardians
20''s - Archer (also in 2010's), The Boys, Palm Springs, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood

I know I'm forgetting a bunch of great ones (probably some absolute favs), & i had to actually google some, but this is what i could come up with at the moment. :)

*edit*
Now i see i forgot Stranger Things!!
 

60s - Monty Python's Flying Circus
70s - MASH
80s - Seinfeld
90s - Simpsons
2000s - West Wing
2010s - New Girl
2020s - Mandolorian

Just picking one from each decade - it was super hard leaving The Muppet Show and Happy Days off of the 70s, but MASH is better.

70's Sesame Street
80's Family Ties
90's Touched by an Angel
2000-2010 Higher Ground (A Smaller, one season but very touching show about teens)

2010-2020 Dad and I really enjoyed watching reruns of Chain Reaction hosted by Dylan Lane and also Sale of the Century hosted by the late Jim Perry at the start of the pandemic.

2020-today I have most enjoyed watching The Price is Right and a new show called Shadrach.
 
tv shows-

60's-the monkees (still have my thermos from grade school), that girl, laugh in

70's-the bob newhart show, all in the family/maude, the muppett show

80's-90's rugrats, murphy brown, beetlejuice (the cartoon), roseanne, thirtysomething, LA law, northern exposure, st. elsewhere

2000's-six feet under, weeds, big love

2010's-bobs burgers, what we do in the shadows, game of thrones, stranger things, fargo (tv series)

2020's- (so far) bluey, bad monkey, ted lasso, breeders, reservation dogs, dark winds
 
50s - The Phil Silvers Show
60s - I dream of Genie (Monty Pythons Flying Circus is a close second)
70s - The Muppet Show
90s - Farscape
00s - Firefly
10s - 12 Monkeys or Dark
20s - Not much good IMO - What We Do in the Shadows is ok - its 2019 technically, but most of it episodes are in the 20s so.
