indyclone is right about the Incredible Hulk, though didn't it start in the 70s? I think it was off the air by 81...but I was only 4 years old in 81 so I could be wrong about that.

And john king, you can't bring me Coy and Vance as an argument about the Dukes. The show officially jumped the shark when John Schneider and Tom Wopat were off the show. Coy and Vance is one of those things like that one "dream" season of Dallas...it didn't really happen. It's a collective figment of the TV audience's imagination.

And sure it doesn't hold up well, but not one of those shows you mentioned (with the possible exception of Magnum P.I., which isn't much better) hold up any better.

I would call "Hardcastle" a bold choice, so kudos for that...I just have to fault you for omitting the Duke boys.

BTW, did anyone catch the episode of "Smallville" with Tom Wopat as a guest star as Jonathan Kent's old buddy? Of course, Jonathan was played by one John Schneider, and they of course added a scene where Tom Wopat drives up in a 69 Charger, and he has to slide in through the open window because the door is broken or something. Great little moment.
