Running for 11 seasons, 275 episodes and winning 4 Emmy’s despite such low season 1 ratings that the show nearly was canceled. 1983 – “Total Eclipse of the Heart” by Bonnie Tyler Became the #1 Song in America. Holding onto the top spot for the entire month of October. 1985 – MacGyver Premiered on ABC, giving us 7 seasons, 139 episodes and 2 movies! And teaching us what we can do with a rubber band, a piece of gum and a paperclip! 1987 – “Mony Mony” by Billy Idol was released as a single. It wouldn’t take long for Mony Mony to climb the charts, claiming the #1 spot in November of 87.
