    For sheer WTF-erry nothing beats Sapphire and Steel. This used to be on around 5.00 in the evening. Used to scare the bejaysus out of us. :eek:

    I agree...I know the list is for the best 80's show but nothing beats Space:1999...and now as they may be doing an reimage of the TV series.

    All of the above as well as

    StreetHawk - roads answer to Airwolf
    Manimal
    Misfits of Science - one of the Friends was in that... cringeworthy
    Invisible Man - the one with the watch, Ducky (NCIS) from the other was 70s I think
    Everything else named above almost without fail.
    Monkey Magic - on BBC2 but think it was made prior to 80s.
    Automan
    Hotel - of course and we all know why
    Cheers
    Kenny Everitt Show
    Simon and Simon
    Crazy Like a Fox
    Spiderman - not great special effects but still, a TV show version not the cartoon.
    Hill Street Blues - "let's do it to them before they do it to us"
    Doctor Who - aka Tom Baker - before it got sillier..
    Bergerac - what a man, looked like crap but women loved him - gave us all hope
    Magnum - no-one else can carry off that tache
    Thundercats - originals

    Have to call out some of the earlier ones
    Greatest American Hero - just wonderful, can't imagine the lead doing it now
    Airwolf
    Miami Vice
    Saphire & Steel - had to buy this recently
    Quantum Leap
    Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors

    not enough time to list them all out - too much of a telly addict.

    Sorry - a middle-aged librarian has the mother interfering with his life. Funny and sad. Surprised it's not better known.

    Did he not live with both his mother and father?
    His father would say to him. "Language Timothy!"


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 363 ✭✭FishBowel


    Yes and he had a sister who tried to get him to move out and get married.

    Quantum Leap all the way!!!!!

    To this day instead of saying I have deja vu, I say 'wow, this is just like that last episode of Quantum Leap'*


    *Not exactly deja vu but close

    Thirtysomething-adored Michael played by Ken Olin.

    Hill Street Blues- amazingly, Ken Olin starred in this too......

    Tenko- brilliant.

    flipped onto CBS Drama (a Sky channel) recently and classic 80s soap Falcon Crest was on. Ken Olin was in that too starring as a priest. I remember the priest being in it but never new he was Ken Olin!

    Oh Tenko! OMG Tenko ..... that was so good. I remember my mother loved Tenko. I laugh to myself every time I see actress Stephanie Cole play battleaxe Sylvia Goodwin in Coronation Street. A far cry of the high brow, stern, straight laced, put upon doctor she played in Tenko.

    Thirtysomething, well yes thirtysomething, its true everyone had the hots for Micheal, but the sexiest man in the series was of course Elliot played by Timothy Busfield. Looking back, I think the best thing about the series was the opening theme tune and visuals. They're very slick, screams "art direction" its so colour coordinated and designer, so 80's. Enjoy the memories ...... http://youtu.be/6FEfnvyLeu4

    I loved the A-Team!

    In fairness i wasnt alive in the 80s but i used to watch the re-reuns on rte in the early 90s!

    Still watch it if its ever on tv! :D

    But if you weren't alive in the 80s you were allowed watch the A Team in the early 90s aged 2 or 3 ?

    - Where were the social workers!!!
