You Can’t Do That On Television
The Fresh Prince of Bel Air
The Young Ones
Police Squad!
The Flintstones
The Smurfs
Monty Python’s Flying Circus
Droopy the Dog cartoons
Peanuts cartoons
Walker, Texas Ranger
Star Trek the Next Generation
M.A.S.K. (20 minute toy commercials)
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (Ditto, above. But I never missed an episode when I was in the sixth grade.)
The Brady Bunch
Growing Pains
Punky Brewster
The Dukes of Hazzard (How humiliating)
Little House on the Prairie

I’m sure there are more. But television shows, in general, don’t age well.
