Actually, I should wait until I've seen a few episodes before I offer my IMHO. It hasn't stood the test of time well at all. I wonder what the younger me was thinking, thinking this puerile crap was great TV.

Haven't watched many shows from before the 90s but I will go with...
Columbo
Perry Mason (mainly the 80s TV movies when he came back when he was older)

These lists are innevitably formed from our childhoods (what we grew up watching) - depending upon your age of course

Anyway, here's my top 10 TV Shows (before 1990) :-
[ n.b. I have only considered TV series - NOT one off runs, like Edge of Darkness and Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy. Maybe that could be a separate thread ]
