80's Television

Coming on the scene in 1988, today's television flashback series lasted seven seasons. I watched it occasionally, but was never a huge fan of the show. It did have some funny parts and of course introduced everyone to David Leisure, aka "Joe Isuzu." It was a spin-off of "The Golden Girls," and featured Estelle Getty in the show at times. 80's star Kristy McNichol starred in the series as well. There are plenty of episodes you can check out for free on Youtube. Here is Richard Mulligan in "Empty Nest"...
