Anyone rememember this show from around 1985, 1986. I vaguely remember it, I do remember at the time thinking it was good but then when it finished it was never shown on TV again.

Also I did not know until recently that Courtney Cox was in this too!!!

Yeah, I remember misfits. One of the lads could shoot lightning bolts from his hands. Courtney Cox was also in the He-Man Movie.

Courtney Cox was pretty famous well before Friends unlike the rest of them.

Bruce Sprinstean video, Family Ties and numerous films.

Misfits of Science was really good the really tall black Guy in it was also The Predator in the the film and died of Aids related illness.

Who remembers a show called Billy Liar? I think it was shown around the same time. Can't recall much about it but enjoyed it at the time.

Dont remember too much about Misfits of Science, always get it confused with that 80s film "My Science Project".

I remember that Billy Liar too, was that on Friday's? Seem to remember I used to stay up late on Fridays watching Columbo, then Kung Fu with Billy Liar in there as well maybe.

There was another tv show around that time "The Whiz Kids" or something I think it was called, all had computers, really old ones! Like the ones from "War Games" - they used their computers to act as sort of teenage detectives.

It was "Whiz Kid" played by the young brother from "Little House on the Praire"

yeah the old chuck berry song. i always remember a scene where johnny b is taking out a squad of police men in a parking lot singing that song and firing off lightning blasts.
if memory serves the theme song wasnt half bad either, i think i have the last episode taped somewhere but the resolutions gone to crap. im pretty sure you can get it on DVD though that might just be the movie/ pilot.

i really miss this show, it was a class bit of fun. also i may be wrong but im sure billys boss in humaindyne was the dad from ALF
