This is harder than the pommie version.

In no particular order:

M*A*S*H
Babylon 5
Battlestar Galactica (original)
Battlestar Galactica (re-imagined)
South Park
Drawn Together
Sesame Street
Banana Splits
Happy Days
Buck Rogers in the 25th Century ('80s version)

We'll have to do the Aussie version next. I reckon that might be harder again. Will have to include Kiwi shows, since NZ-produced stuff qualifies as "Australian" under local content rules. I think.

Haha .. I used to love the Snorks, and Wacky Races, and Laugh-A-Lympics and the Herculoids ... You could keep Space Ghost and Jana Of The Jungle though, they sucked.
