What were the top 80's drama television shows of all time? Perhaps it’s “Magnum, P.I.,” “In the Heat of the Night,” “Dallas,” or “Miami Vice.” Maybe you’re a soap junkie who loved “Dynasty,” or a thrill-seeking mystery fan who enjoyed 80's dramas like “Hart to Hart,” “Murder, She Wrote,” “Matlock,” or “Scarecrow and Mrs. King.” This list of the best 1980's dramas has them all.
Cop shows were a huge hit in the 80's as well... remember “L.A. Law"? The best dramas of the 80s were some of the most successful television shows of all time, eventually leading to spin-offs in the 90s and beyond. “Dallas” was a record-breaking show that became a mega-hit instantly. It defied all the rules of how dramatic television was supposed to work. Its tremendous success sent other networks vying for a piece of the pie, producing such shows as “Quantum Leap,” “Hill Street Blues,” “The A-Team,” and “Moonlighting.”
