I dunno. _Mork and Mindy_ is kind of iffy. _M_A_S_H\* ran from 1972 to 1983 so it could at least claim to be a mostly pre-1980 show. But _Mork and Mindy_ ran from September 1978 to May 1982 - so I’d call it more of an eighties show. ---

But _Mork and Mindy_ ran from September 1978 to May 1982 - so I’d call it more of an eighties show. I disagree. It was at its peak the first two seasons - it jumped the shark when Mork and Mindy became a romantic couple - therefore it does qualify as as pre-80’s show. That, plus we always watched it in the dorm’s lounge and I graduated in 1980. 😉 ---
