    Hotel owner Basil Fawlty's incompetence, short fuse, and arrogance form a combination that ensures accidents and trouble are never far away.
    CreatorsConnie BoothJohn CleeseStarsJohn CleesePrunella ScalesAndrew Sachs
    Very short, but very well made show. It relies on the main character's neurosis for the most time, and if more episodes were made, it would've been overwhelming (see „The Kipper and the Corpse“). Brilliant timing.

    CreatorsDon NichollMichael RossBernard WestStarsJohn RitterJoyce DeWittSuzanne Somers
    Nostalgic and predictable in it's repetitiveness, but it never gets old. It paved the way for sexual themes in sitcoms.

    11. Miami Vice

    1984–1989111 epsTV-14TV Series
    7.6 (32K)
    Resplendent with authentic 1980s music, fashion, and vibe, "Miami Vice" follows two undercover detectives and their extended team through the mean streets of Miami, Florida.
    CreatorAnthony YerkovichStarsDon JohnsonPhilip Michael ThomasSaundra Santiago
    The most important show for the 80s, 90s, and the 21 century. It is ridiculous how much influence this has on any show that was made after it. After Vice, nothing is the same.

    1985–198745 epsPG-13TV Series
    7.4 (6.8K)
    Truly amazing, fantastical, funny, and odd, and sometimes scary, sad, and endearing stories are portrayed. Many famous actors, actresses, and directors made guest appearances.
    CreatorsJoshua BrandJohn FalseySteven SpielbergStarsCharles DurningDouglas SealeSharon Spelman
    Spielberg's style is omnipresent, and with a few mediocre stories, it is mostly very engaging. The episode „The Mission“ is the crown of the show, and overall remaining best are „Mirror Mirror“, „The Doll“, „Life on Death Row“, „Family Dog“ and „Thanksgiving“.
