10 Influential TV Shows from the 1980s and 1990s
Between 2000-2010, television entered a Golden Age. By the late nineties, cable television replaced first-run movie premieres, syndicated TV shows, and infomercials with original programming. Without broadcast standards to censor their productions, cable TV pushed the envelope by telling stories that were smart, mature, and challenging. Yet this era didn't exist in a vacuum. Both broadcast and cable television had been producing quality programming for years. In fact, between the 1980s and 1990s, it produced programs that were not only critically acclaimed but influential. This list highlights the Top 10 Most Influential TV shows from that era.

Unpopular Buffy Opinions
With a show of this caliber and the size of the fandom, there are bound to be a few controversial takes here and there. Although I absolutely adore this series, I also have some of these and before I say anything else, they are just my personal opinions and in no way am I asking for people to take them for a fact. Anyway, let's dive in!

SuperWHOLock
The WHO part of SuperWhoLock is of course the longest running of the three, even if we really only count the first or second half of it. This is a show that transcends fandom as it is one of the most popular shows of all time. Doctor Who started in 1963 ran for 26 seasons and then was rebooted in 2005. The show is still running, in fact BBC just casted it's next Doctor and his companion. There is an extensive Doctor Who universe with lots of spin-offs including The Sarah Jane Adventures, Torchwood and tons of books, comics, audio adventures and fan shows. Doctor Who is undoubtedly considered a cultural phenomenon so it's really no wonder that it got sucked into the fanbases that also frequented shows like Supernatural and Sherlock.

SUPERwholock
SuperWhoLock…a horrifying Tumblr memory originated in 2011. We were possibly the most annoying online community in history and this series was born and bred out of gen Z’ers trying to claim it's creation. The oldest of the Gen Z’ers was 14 when the fandom originated so no you created nothing, this online horror belongs to Millenials. Also if you had really created it you wouldn’t want to claim it, it was a terrible time of hijacking posts that had nothing to do with us and the wildest of fan fictions. Its existence was a flash in a pan and it came crashing down as quickly as it rose to dominance. With the long hiatuses between seasons of Sherlock and Doctor Who and the decline in quality of Sherlock and Supernatural, paired with the fact that the main fanbase simply grew up the SuperWhoLock fandom ran out of steam. Though jokes of a resurgence emerged with the rumors of Sherlock season 5 and David Tennent returning as the Doctor for another anniversary special. It is a fandom that never needs to see the light of day again, and for most of us it is simply an embarrassing memory. But we are going to explore why these shows had such a chokehold on the internet, why they seemed to pair together so well and why we all simply stopped caring. So we are starting with Supernatural…the basis of Superwholock, the emotional demon fighting show that ran for way too long. I love the show, I find deep emotional connection to it and it quite literally saved my life. I've been to a convention and met the cast members, I’ve spent money on merch and I had a dean's necklace that I wore until it fell apart but the show went on for far too long. I stand by seasons 1-4 without hesitation, 5-7 were still good and I really won’t take criticisms on those either, 8-10 were questionable but at that point the fandom fell victim to the sunken cost fallacy and it was too late to stop watching 11-15 simply showed our dedication to the boys as there was next to nothing redeemable in those plot lines.
