    1. Seinfeld- I wouldn't care if Larry David didn't come back, fresh eps would be great.
    2. Wonder Years reunion.
    3.. The Larry Sanders Show
    4. Unsolved Mysteries- unfortunately Robet Stack can not be replaced
    5. Robin Hood- that was class


    PS: The best thing about McGuyver was the theme music, the rest was awful.

    Has anybody here thought of posting the email address (in a new thread!) of the RTE Head of Programming - so people could email him/her and request more 80's tv series/shows be shown on RTE ???

    People power !!! :)

    The Hardy Boys & Nancy Drew !

    Just read a piece about the 'Nancy Drew' actress in todays Sunday Indo magazine (she also played 'Fallon' in Dynasty).

    I wonder does RTE/TV3/TG4 realise the interest that is out there in seeing 80' shows on TV again ??!
