Oh but the Bionic Woman was great... Good old Jamie Sommers. As for MacGyver I thought he was great when I was a kid, but now I just feel like one 'Selma or Patti' for liking the show!!

That would be 'Airwolf', I believe. One of my own all-time favourites. A souped-up Bell 222 that could somehow go supersonic, was armed to the teeth with chain-guns and all kinds of missiles and was flown by an old, fat bloke who was constantly laughing at nothing at all, it seemed, and a reclusive loner with a silly name who used to like playing the cello to eagles and who later became a really bad alcoholic with convictions for assaulting his girlfriends! Yeah, that show had just about everything, didn't it? :eek:

Oh, and let's not forget the fantastic theme tune. Probably in my all-time Top Ten of TV theme tunes.

FranknFurter wrote:

That would be 'Midnight Caller' you're thinking of. The main character, Jack Killian, had the catchphrase of "This is Jack Killian, the Nighthawk, on KJCM 98.3. Goodnight America, wherever you are!" That's where I think you were getting mixed up and thought it was called Nighthawk. You were on the right track, though!

And how could anyone be "ashamed" to admitting they liked MacGyver? Mac f**king ROCKED! Where else would you get a guy who could make a rocket launcher out of a paperclip, a rubberband, a piece of chewing gum, a shoelace and his good, old, trusty Swiss army knife? Nowhere, that's where!












Well, maybe on 'The A-Team', but they usually had a lot more equipment at their disposal as well, so they had it a hell of a lot easier than Mac ever did!

Mmmmm, Wilma Deering! Nyom!

If for nothing else, you've got to love those 70's and 80's sci-fi shows purely because of the fact that they used to make all the hot women wear those tight "futuristic-looking" spandex outfits.

r3nu4l

Can't believe it got to the second page before Carol mentioned my all time favourite "The A-team"!!

Battlestar Galactica, the original series with Dirk Benedict (Face, form the A-team) as Starbuck was also a favourite.

I used to think it was so cool in the opening credits for the A-team whe the cylon would walk past Faceman and he would look at it as if to say, "now where have I seen a cylon before?"

I used to love TJ Hooker (Stacey was hot!) and surprisingly Cagney and Lacey

Others I loved...
Airwolf,
Midnight Caller,
Cheers
Taxi

constitutionus

was a huge transformers fan as a kid , even if i did have to endure timmy mallot to see it:D
i fancied most of the sci-fi shows at the time so stuff like buck rogers (whilma was the first time i started to notice these "women" creatures:D , not to mention the slutty princess who seemed to be for ever wearing a tinfoil bikini), battlestar galactica (which is weird seeing as as of writing im waiting to see the remake on telly tonight:D ) but there was a lot of stuff most people seem to forget. STREETHAWK for instance and AUTOMAN was great particularly for the time it was made.
the one thing thats annoying me though is i cant get a box set of THE GREATEST AMERICAN HERO.:D god i loved that show and i know you can get all of it on region one:mad: (the young one in that show was my first telly crush, hell i even looked in on HOTEL to see her:D )

incidently i dont know if anyone knows but you can get both series of SLEDGE HAMMER on dvd from play.com now. been watching the first one in work and its great. id forgotton how many films they took the piss out of seeing as i was too young to go see them at the time:D and david rashe is just brilliant as hammer . just compleatly rips the piss out of the whole dirty harry thing (and he actually SAYS "go ahead punk,make my day ! " ) not to mention it has one of the BEST TV theme tunes, i stuck this one on my mobile for my ringtone:D

Heroes in a half shell...Turtle Power!!

Peaadina

Turtles
Thundercats
Fraggle Rock
the Muppets
Bosco
Animaniacs
And oddly the Terry Wogan show.. man the tantrums if I didnt see that... Who KNOWs!?!:o

jupiterjack

anything from the late 70s - 80s will do nicely, even if i didnt like it at the time i would love it now.

kitakyushu

As a kid I'd only watch live action shows that had cool car or truck in them so I watched stuff like : The Fall Guy, The A-Team and Knight Rider all the time. Strangely for some reason I never watched Magnum PI even though he had a cool car. I'm guessing there probably wasn't enough stunt scenes in it to hold my interest.

Cartoons had to have some sort of sci-fi edge to them for me to watch so Transformers, Dungeons and Dragons and He-Man were popular. To date I've never played D+D but I'd imagine it's nothing like the tv show.

the purple tin

Eerie Indiana was an excellent show. Sort of more fun version of the X Files (made a couple of years earlier than x files too iirc)

yellowtrout

I used to love Are You Afraid of the Dark, even though the opening credits were a bit scary and I loved Animaniacs.
I'm sure I liked others but those two stick out the most.

Robotech was fairly mind-blowing to me as a teenager. It was a dubbed and slightly modified version of three Japanese anime series, cobbled together for the American market, but it worked in a weird kind of way e.g. the apocalyptic end to the first series led to the post-apocalyptic world of the second, with its heroine the daughter of two characters in the first, and so on. Three originally separate narratives were given an over-arching theme, and the results were confusing but imaginative.

The first part ("Macross") dealt with some pretty heavy themes for a cartoon; it started with a world war being interrupted by the arrival of an alien spaceship held together by bizarre technology. The military rebuilds it without fully understanding what they have, but during a test flight its alien makers come looking for it. It transports itself in to deep space, accidentally taking a whole city of civilians along with it, and they all have to fight their way back to Earth. One of the main characters gets killed in action (something Disney would never do), his girlfriend becomes an alcoholic, other characters make incredible personal sacrifices for the war effort, and then we meet the aliens, who are giants who may share a common origin with humanity ... it's a totally bonkers future dystopia, but with all this human drama still happening too. Even love. :cool:

Was Robotech ever shown on Irish/British tv in the 80's? I'm pretty sure it wasn't but I could be wrong. I've since watched dubbed and subbed versions of Macross and its brilliant, the Valkyrie fighters especially. We never got Gundam or Space Battleship Yamato (aka Starblazers) here either which is a real pity.
