Quiz: Guess the ‘80s Show From Its Finale Episode Title

There’s no doubt that the 1980s had some of the best sitcoms of all time. Not only did we get clever and fun writing, but we also got plenty of episodes and writers who weren’t afraid to take some risks. Sure, some of the storylines are now a little dated, but that’s the charm. But how well do you remember the shows? Can you name all 10 just from the title of their series finales?

How did you do? If you got 10/10, we’re impressed, and you deserve all the bragging rights. After all, this wasn’t an easy one, as not everyone pays attention to the titles of the episodes! It also didn’t help that some of these ‘80s sitcoms ended in the ‘90s. So, why not share with your friends and test each other’s knowledge on favorite TV shows?

When it comes to looking back on the decades with the best sitcoms, there’s no doubt that the 1980s stand out. People tuned into shows like Night Court, Cheers, Full House, and Family Ties. Our nights were booked with these series.

We can’t overlook The Golden Girls, which helped to push female leads forward in a way that had never been done before. This show was ahead of its time, focusing on a group of older female friends—who may not have always liked each other, but they loved each other dearly, and who didn’t necessarily need a man, but that didn’t stop them from wanting one.

“I think everybody – including younger people when they reach an age when they feel alienated – the thought of being alone, and spending your life alone, is terrifying,” The Golden Girls creator Susan Harris stated in a 2010 interview. “These women were at an age where they were alone and were likely to stay alone until they found each other… They encouraged each other and had a life together. It showed that you didn’t need the customary, traditional relationship to be happy. It paints a picture of all the possibilities for family.”

Of course, there are also a handful of ‘80s shows that have aged poorly because of their controversial stars, but at the time of their airing, they were complete hits.
