Ahhh, The Greatest American Hero. "Believe it or not I'm walking on air..."

I'd like to see the Littlest Hobo again and I was a big fan of Briscoe County Jr.

Although I hate to admit it, you're right. I used to love Airwolf, but watched a re-run on Bravo and it was terrible!

Remington Steel I thought it was the funnyest PI show on TV. (Forget Moonlighting)

I watched The Greatest American Hero again recently and it absolutely ruined my fond memories of it (It was shíte, in retrospect).

I answered this before in another thread... hold on.. i'll find it!

EDIT: A-ha.. here you go:

Or just simply:

Me! wrote:

Sam leaps into a bar called "Al's," tended and owned by a man (surprise surprise) called Al - and it's only the first of a swarm of parallel people Sam encounters in this bar - where either the name or the person is identical to someone he's met and helped at some point in the series. Meanwhile, "our" Al has lost communication with Sam and is desperately trying to find him. Throughout the show, Sam learns more about this bartender Al and at least one other character who is a "leaper" like Sam (helpful, not some smarmy "evil female" love interest). Eventually, we realise that this Al is, if not HE, then a deity-type who is giving Sam a "break" from the action as well as the opportunity to learn how the leaping originated - and that, most of all, it is driven by Sam, not some otherworldly force. This Al asks Sam what he most wants to do, and that wish will catapult him either home or to the next leap. Teary, he says "I really want to go home, but first I have to make right what went wrong in Al's (his) life." This Al pats his shoulder (I think) and says "God Bless You, Sam" and Sam is then back in time in (his) Al's home, where Al's then-wife is weeping. Sam tells her that Al is ok, and will return home from the war. Happy ending to then - the screen will fade to black and we're informed that Al and (wife) went on to have (5?) children and are celebrating their 38th anniversary. Then, another screen informs us that Sam NEVER leaped home.

There it is...
Sam made the ultimate sacrifice for Al.
I must try and get a hold of that episode. It was called 'Mirror Image', as far as i can remember. Like i said, one of the best finales ever broadcast in my opinion!

Littlest Hobo!! 'There's a voice that keeps on calling me, down the road, that's where I'll always be.......'

Saw it a few times on Living TV recently. I still love the theme tune but my god, memories really can make shows seems a lot better then they were!

I'd love to see The Fall Guy. I loved that show! Colt Seevers etc etc!

Been watching Bullseye on Challenge for a while now. Classic game show which must be brought back. I'd love to see a new series made but they'd have to have "Big" Jim Bowen back and the crappy prizes. Legendary.

Prisoner Cell Block H - Was so ****, it was brilliant. Watched it for years and UTV canceled it with only a year or so to go.
Also, the classic "The Prisoner" from the 60's. What a f*cked up program that was!!!! Utter brilliance. Have the first few episodes on tape. Available on dvd now. Must visit Port Merrion to see the set

Yeah, I used to love that when it was on. He had a digital watch which kept him visible but he had to switch it off to become invisible. If he did this for more than 15 minutes in a 24 hour period he would die. I remember the first digital watch I got (late seventies?) had a red LCD, which I used to pretend was like his.

This is him (can't see the bloody watch though!)

Miami Vice
Brisco County Jr
Quantum Leap
Space Above and Beyond
Brimstone
The Sweeney

There's loads more I'd love to see again. Just watching Miami Vice Season One on DVD and it rocks. It's one of those programmes thatI watched repeats of as a child and grew to love.
