I need some help, so calling all 80s and 90s kids for your memories of TV shows and crazes of your youth. Especially want to hear of forgotten gems/controversial shows and what classics you fondly recall. And what shows did you hate and why? Any of the crazes prove to be dangerous?
Thanks

You might want to visit here. It's a bit 70s and 80s-centric, but worth a look.
Whatever happened to Sue Robbie, by the way? She presented EVERYTHING for about five minutes in the mid-80s, including First Post - a sort of ITV junior Points Of View, best remembered for the irritating Manchester girl who read out the address "... Man-chest-ah, EM-Six-teh, nahn-eee-errr" - then vanished off the face of the earth.
There's also lots of bits here, if you wanna read through.
Had to find the bugger manually cos the search took me to a post about bacon or something 
EDIT:
It's not all about sci-fi btw. It's one of those rarest of things - a BSG thread that veers away from its topic title!

TMNT - Loved it parents hated it.
He-man - Loved it
Kissyfur was brillinat until I was given the nick name then I hated it. I hated gameshows when I was young except for Pat-Mans of course Fun House was Da Bomb!! Knightmare was another gem not many remember "Where am I?" Quickly team the Goblins are coming!!
Jayce the wheeled Warriors, Uylesses 31, Thunder Cats Hoooooooooo, Ghostbusters 
anything loud with expolsions 
easy to entertain as a kid OH and Transformers of course! Autobots Roll out!
Oh the Secret life of toys was a good un to.
.... Ok I'll shut up now
The show of the 80's was surely The A Team
Knite Rider was better
Mind you a Knite Rider, A Team team up would have been ace.
Especially if it had Goliath and Kar in it, and Colonel Decker.
Bex - Have you tried Retrojunk? They have loads of shows, films, and ads listed. They have a shed load of clips. They have a forum too http://www.retrojunk.com/. Hope this helps.
