I don't think all classic TV is terrible

My kid brother and I used to watch Nick at Nite back in the late 1980s, and we liked Mr. Ed and Leave it to Beaver. I just doubt those shows would be as funny to me now. The same goes for Gilligan’s Island. I listed a lot of ’80s fodder on my list because I’m an almost-50-year-old.

Some other (dishonorable mentions?) I left out:

Airwolf
Garfield and Friends
Duck Tales
