A lot of great ones in the 70s as well.

My dad was friends with Mike Post in the 80s. They used to run together when he was in the Islands working on Magnum. He was super nice and cool to me as a geeky pop culture obsessed teen. He did those plus many more like LA Law, NYPD Blue and Law and Order which by itself must have paid for his kids college tuition and his grandkids as well.
