The 80s hype is picking up speed. Long hair, quality content, and, most importantly — 80’s sitcoms — are becoming popular each day. They are like the grandparents of our modern comedies. They defined the rules for series like Friends and How I Met Your Mother. Long forgotten, these sitcoms are having a renaissance.
Unlike the 80s movies, sitcoms will glue you to your seat for over a day. You might lose track of time while watching them. With engaging characters and rather bizarre plotlines, 1980s sitcoms explored themes that might be too hostile for some audiences today. But this aspect doesn't stop hundreds of people from rewatching the series.

What Was the Most Watched Sitcom in the 80s?
Regarding the most-watched sitcom — The Simpsons take the cake. After all, they have been on the air for several decades. It earned a place among the greatest animated shows in the 80s and solidified it in the following decades. However, you might say it’s cheating since we should focus on the 80’s.
The Cosby Show might be one of the most-watched sitcoms of the 80s. Alongside The Golden Girls, Family Ties and Cheers, the four sitcoms are regarded as the most popular and most-watched in the 80s. However, not all of them aged like wine. Some of them did meet some rather unfortunate events.
