Boy, it's not easy for me to be nailed down to a "favorite" of anything, but from your list:
I got into Cheers (mostly) after the series ended, but when I did I really enjoyed it!
Not too big into Miami Vice.
Dynasty...not my bag.
Did watch a lot of Cosby.

My list would have:
Fall Guy
Alf
Dukes of Hazard
A-Team
Knight Rider
(Most of the others would be cartoons)

For fun: WKRP because what this cournty needs is Less Nessman.
For action: Magnum PI. At least that's what my wife would only allow during that slot.
For late night: Johnny Carson along with most America.

Of those options given my choice is Miami Vice for being ahead of it's time in storylines, costuming, lighting & visual effects, music; characters Lt Castillo, Tubbs, & Crockett.

Given the Choices, I would say I was mostly a Miami Vice man and the Music that I listened too was from that show.

Not in any order ...
Cheers / The Cosby Show / Taxi / Night Court / 60 Minutes / The McLaughlin Group / The Simpsons
Was In Living Color an 80's or 90's?
Not one of my favorite shows but I do miss the 80's cast of SNL.
Oh and Manimal (kidding ... stupid show).

I missed most of the 80's TV, guess I was a deprived child. The first half of the 80's I had no TV, the second half I was working as a guide, living where there was no TV.

Magnum P.I. was my fave at the time. Also liked Miami Vice, Cheers, Night Court, ALF. For a really cheesy cop show i liked T.J. Hooker...lol

Well I grew up in the 80s, so anything during the late 80s is what I watched. I voted for the Cosbys because I definitely grew up watching the Huxtables.

Favorite is Magnum. Air Wolf was cool, but didn't last long. Got tired of the A-Team after awhile. Every episode just became a repeat theme. Crooks ripping off good people, they show up, build some kind of contraption to fight back, shoot a bunch of rounds that never hit anyone, and then escape just as the MP posse shows up to catch them.
