TGM

It was an anthology type show, with one episode about an alien race that comes down to Earth, and basically tells the world that they were their forefathers and were very disappointed in them as a society, instructed them that they needed to change their ways, and if they didn't, within a certain amount of time, the were going to come back and destroy the Earth and start again. So, the nations of the world feverishly try to arrange peace treaties, and actually manage to do the impossible, and establish world peace before the aliens deadline. The kicker turns out, the aliens were disappointed with humans because they weren't violent enough! OHHHHH. AHHHHH. And they destroy the world.

Incorrect! The answer for all threads about 80s shows is "Small Wonder."
