62) Tony St Iyke
Most people know the late great Tony St Iyke as Okonkwo in Second Chance or as the guy that did the UBA advert in the 1980s and 1990s, but I had seen him on TV before he acted in either of those.

Tony St Iyke acted in a sitcom in the early 1980s. The sitcom was about a group of boys (in their late teens & early 20s) who shared a flat. Tony St Iyke's catch phrase was, "A guy's gotta do what a guy's gotta do" (he pronounced the word guy as "goy" ). Unfortunately I can't remember the name of that sitcom.

63) The Charly Boy Show
Charly Boy decided that he had had enough of the antics of "junk journalists" and so he decided to create his own show in 1989.

64) Papa Ajasco
Long before the popular Papa Ajasco TV series was created in the 1990s, there was Papa Ajasco the movie, which was made in 1983 and shown on some state TV stations, including LTV.

How about CHARLY CHAPLIN!
Good old days memories. I was privileged to have watched almost half of those sitcoms/comedies.
I for watch all like the OP but how many people get TV back then? We had to go to fellow neighbors houses in the military Barracks then and hang by the window to watch a black and white TV.... Lol

God bless this op. I remembered Sanford and son. Then it wasn't really funny to me but now I guess I can understand it and it is now one of the most hilarious and crazy show I have watched. Also watched good times.
Watched most of those stuff with my parents: hotel de Jordan. Kokori and idemudia.
Nackson the bad guy. Wow. Not all these rubbish being aired now mostly. Kudos op.
Couple of days back I was evening singing the sura de tailor song. I also want an album of rex Jim Lawson. Used to have one then from my Dad, but I believed wifey misplaced it lipsrsealed

Mr Bean was shown for the first time in the UK in 1990, so it obviously can't be in this list.
