The '80s were all about glitz and glamour, with shows like
Dallas and
Dynasty reflecting the "greed is good" mentality of the decade. This made an impact on the Logies, resulting in flashier production numbers, big international guests, performances and awards for music videos.
It was a decade of experimentation for the awards, which bounced around between different networks and venues, and had a range of hosts.
Despite all this (or perhaps because of it), suburban dramas like
A Country Practice,
Home And Away and
Neighbours became extremely popular to win, and many Aussie TV stars of the '80s went on to huge careers and multiple awards after winning Logies.
