Dynasty. My mother sometimes watched it but she could never get into it properly.

The X-Files. The US is the only country that could a produce a programme like that.

Friends. It was first broadcast in 1994.

Friday night was not Friday night without a frozen dinner, "Dukes of Hazzard" and "Dallas" which was when the two shows were aired in the US.

Re: American Programmes 70s-90s

I wonder how many Canadian tv shows made it across the pond? I think Due South about the Mountie in the U.S. did, but not sure of others...

Some '70s-'90s shows...

The Beachcombers (not the earlier Spike Milligan comedy of a similar name, this was about a small waterfront town in British Columbia).
King Of Kensington (with Al Waxman later on Cagney & Lacey, set in a neighbourhood in Toronto).
The Littlest Hobo (the German Sheppard dog having slice-of-life adventures).
SCTV (long running sketch comedy series with John Candy, Eugene Levy, Martin Short, Andrea Martin, Dave Thomas, Rick Moranis and others).
Street Legal (lawyers, courts, stuff like that, a bit soapish).
Degrassi/Degrassi High (school based soap).
The Red Green Show (comedy).
Davinci's Inquest (detective)
Kids In The Hall (sketch comdey).
Seeing Things (sort of mildly comedic psychic slueth)
