From season two onwards the last line was changed to ' I take care of both of them, cause when they met, it was murder.'

I think you'll find it was my-dur:D

Steve Austin, astronaut. A man barely alive. We can rebuild him. We have the technology. We can make him better than he was. Better, stronger, faster.

How much would he be now with inflation?
Remember his counterpart the bionic woman - my god she was gorgeous. Seen her on Graham Norton a few years back and she was still drop dead gorgeous at 60 odd years old!

There's actually talk of a reboot of Knight Rider at the moment, and James Gunn (who co-wrote and directed Guardians of the Galaxy) is apparently interested...

Same here... My 2 favorites would have to be A Clockwork Hammer (particularly the scene where they try to brainwash Sledge ) and Hammeroid (just classic)

You mean a re-reboot as the first reboot didn't do well. .. was it killed after one season? Hell I remember Kit having a 3D printing in its boot! How forward thinking was that!

They should have a Kit Vs Kar in the re-reboot, the knight Foundation Vs the cyber army of trump! ...or something.

The Brady Bunch.....Here's the story of a lovely lady who was bringing up 3 very lovely girls...

I loved that on a Friday afternoon and I think Black Beauty was on before it.

You folks see that flashing sign up there?

Now, that sign says: "Applesauce." No, no, I'm kidding. It says "applause." Ray, do me a favor. Could you flick that once? [crowd applauds] All right. Now remember. You're all a big part of the show, so the better you are, the better Larry is. You see this gentleman? He's giving me this sign and it says, "We're on in ten seconds." So get ready to have a good time. All right, here we go. This is exciting, isn't it?

He was a cop, and good at his job. But then he committed the ultimate sin and testified against other cops - gone bad. Cops who tried to kill him, but got the woman he loved instead. Framed for murder, now he prowls the badlands. An outlaw hunting outlaws, a bounty hunter - a RENEGADE!

A mixture of cocaine and steroids overuse must have contributed to the writing of that intro

The Odd Couple.

The theme tune.

So many different musical styles in that.
Starts out funky, then there's the little early techno/kraftwerky flourishes and ends with a Falcon Cresty (everything's gonna be alright) brass section.

Any musical people here able to give a better analysis and how it relates to the theme.

Rubberlegs · 11-08-2017 01:36PM

I loved Chips:). Silver Spoons was another one.

Been done and flopped.
The charm of these 80's shows is the dodgy story that was written up on the back of a napkin in the bar with at least 2 physical impossibilities and at least 5000 rounds of ammo that were spent without anyone getting hit.
Add to that dodgy hair and the stars were always a bit geeky (McGyver and Michael Knight definitely). And 80's television was always done on a budget of a fiver. In a word, it was crappy. But fun.
Now fast forward to the reboot. The lead always has to be a Calvin Klein underwear model beefcake. Beautifully shot, with fabulous effects and a script worked to death by a team of crack writers. Everything slick, top of the range, state of the art, cooler than a snow man's cold bits.
And suddenly it's all just so, so... meh.

some classics in this thread, but here's one for the true nerds, an 18 wheeler where the cab turned into a helicopter (i **** you not) think it was called highwayman or something similar.

found the intro on youtube, happy memories

there were some really great shows in the 80s, but when they weren't on you had the likes of ...

Loved Magnum PI, and he had a better car, or should I say he had access to a better car :-)

I think the Ferrari was Mr Masters (in the story).

One of my favourite shows as a kid. Clearly I was a bit of an odd child.

Dr. David Banner - physician, scientist... searching for a way to tap into the hidden strengths that all humans have. Then an accidental overdose of gamma radiation alters his body chemistry. And now, when David Banner grows angry or outraged, a startling metamorphosis occurs. The creature is driven by rage and pursued by an investigative reporter.
"Mr. McGee, don't make me angry. You wouldn't like me when I'm angry."
The creature is wanted for a murder he didn't commit. David Banner is believed to be dead. And he must let the world think that he is dead, until he can find a way to control the raging spirit that dwells within him...
