      Which of These ’80s TV Shows Do You Belong in?

      Which of These ’80s TV Shows Do You Belong in?
      Retro & Nostalgia · Television

      By BrainFall Staff - Updated: April 9, 2024

      Get ready for some shoulder pads, conservative politics, and canned laughter! This quiz will take you through a series of questions designed to show you which of these TV shows from the 80s you belong in: Family Ties, Growing Pains, Golden Girls, or Night Court. The only question is, do you have enough hairspray?

      80s TV Shows

      TV shows in the '80s were all about family and good American values--or at least that's the story. Some of the '80s TV shows you know and love depict American suburbia, like "Family Ties" (NBC) and "Growing Pains" (ABC). Other television series focus on friends, like "Golden Girls" (NBC), or take place in a zany workplace like New York's "Night Court" (NBC). Take a trip back to the years of big hair and Ronald Reagan and discover which of these 80s television shows you belong in!

      Which of These ’80s TV Shows Do You Belong in?

      We all have those days when we feel like we've been zapped into a TV show, trading our smartphones for rotary dials and our skinny jeans for shoulder pads. Ah, the '80s—a time when neon was the new black and hair spray was as essential as air. Ever wonder what it would be like to live in this rad decade? Perhaps you've caught reruns of "Family Ties" or "Growing Pains" and felt oddly at home, or watched "Cheers" and almost heard those friendly voices shouting, "Norm!"

      Colorful '80s TV show logos and characters surrounded by neon lights and retro patterns

      Picture this: You walk into your living room, plop down on the couch, and grab the remote—but instead of your usual streaming binge, you're flipping through channels brimming with '80s classics. Can you see yourself navigating the halls with the cool kids from "The Facts of Life," or are you cracking jokes with the Tanners on "Full House"? Our Which '80s TV Shows Do You Belong in? quiz is your DeLorean ride to the past, helping you map out your sitcom soulmate.

      So, if you're itching to find out which '80s family would adopt you or which laugh-tracked living room you'd be cracking wise in, pop your collar, tease that hair, and join us for a tubular trip down memory lane. Let's play, party like it's 1989, and discover where in the world of '80s TV you truly belong. It's time for action—so let's ace this quiz together like it's a totally boss arcade game!

      Find Your Small Screen Destiny

      Ever wondered if your morning coffee has more in common with a latte-loving lawyer from "L.A. Law" or a mocha-sipping mischief-maker from "Married with Children"? We've dialed in the coordinates on our time machine for the slouch-socks era to help you find out where you'd feel most at home on the dial.

      Channeling Your Inner Sitcom Character

      Imagine this: The laugh track fades in. You’re cozied up on a plush '80s couch, script in hand. Are you wisecracking with the Tanner family, or is your on-screen abode with the Seavers? Whether you're scribbling jokes in the writers' room of "Family Ties" or planning the next heart-to-heart in the kitchen from "Growing Pains," your alter ego could very well live alongside these icons. And who knows? Ed or Doe from the corner convenience store might just become your quirky side character!

      Dramatic Turns and Sci-Fi Adventures

      But wait - plot twist! What if you’re more about the high stakes and hairspray-heavy drama of Dallas? Or maybe you'd prefer to be part of the crew exploring the final frontier in "Star Trek: The Next Generation" (debuted in 1987)? From the ominous intros of "The Twilight Zone" to the mysterious island of "Lost," the '80s offered an odyssey for the more dramatically inclined. If your destiny is to battle it out against cryptic forces, we've got your back (just watch out for that cliffhanger ending).

      Animation and Fantasy: The Tooniverse Awaits

      Craving a splash of color and a dash of whimsy in your life? Perhaps a Saturday morning stint in a "Disney" cartoon or an "Oz"-like adventure is more your speed. Our quiz can reveal if you're more "Rick" from "Rick and Morty" (okay, they're a bit newer, but you get the vibe) or if you're sweeping through the fantasy landscapes of "Avatar." So button up your overalls or power up your Genesis console—it's time to get animated about your TV destiny!

      The Ultimate '80s Showdown: Music, Fashion, and Culture

      The '80s brought us an iconic blend of synth beats, neon colors, and a brand-new medium that changed how we consume shows. Let's get into the heart of this vibrant decade.

      Dust Off Your Leg Warmers

      Pop culture isn't complete without the iconic '80s fashion, and what shouts '80s louder than leg warmers? TV wasn't just about the storylines—it was a runway for the latest trends. Imagine strutting into the dance halls, with every high kick spotlighting your splashes of neon and bold patterns. It was all about making a statement and dancing like everyone's watching.

      Synthpop & Storylines: A Pat Benatar Tribute

      We belong to the music, and the '80s belonged to the one and only Pat Benatar. We're not lying when we say her music was the intro to many of our favorite shows. Weaving music with compelling plots, the decade was as much about the catchy tunes as it was about the drama-filled evenings. It's no wonder we still catch ourselves gripping our makeshift hairbrush-mics belting out "Love Is a Battlefield."

      The Golden Age of Home Viewing

      Let's not forget the bliss of kicking back with our favorite shows at home. Amazon wasn't an option, but the introduction of DVD technology marked a historic shift in home entertainment. No more fighting over the remote—our beloved sitcoms and dramas were just a shiny disc away. It was revolutionary, marking the era as the golden age for TV lovers and dance aficionados alike.

      So, are you ready to find out which '80s TV show is your spirit animal? Head over to BrainFall and join in the fun. Grab your shoulder pads, and let’s take a trip down memory lane!
