I watched a lot of crap. I didn't realise it was crap at the time, I just didn't know any better. In the 80's/early 90's I was watching:
- A Country Practice
- Early Home & Away
- Flying doctors
- Some show where Georgie Parker was a female firefighter (Gasp!).
- Some hospital show with Georgie Parker as the main character
- Comedy Company
- Hey Hey its Saturday
- Its a Knockout
- Hey, Dad (This one has been tainted now it turned out that the Dad was not wholesome at all)
As to what to actually preserve, some of those shows likely haven't aged well. The Paul Hogan Show was great, but a product of its time. I'm sure it would never be allowed on the air today. Same with Number 96 (not that I was supposed to be watching that one).
While these are the answer to your question - what were my favourite shows at the time, I wouldn't nominate any of them for preservation.
From a Pom:
I liked Rake .
Prisoner Cell Block H was cult here too .
Then, Angry Boys, Chris Lilleys comedy.
Um, Under Belly about Tony Mockba was good I think .
Any Ashes cricket where we didn’t lose 5-0
Bluey is a parenting program cleverly disguised as a kids' program. It's my favourite show on TV at the moment.

In case you weren't aware "The Archive" runs a pretty substantial repository of Australian TV shows. r/DownUnderTv has instructions on how to get access.

Round the Twist was 4 seasons of straight bangers
