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

    :D

    I would always lose my **** laughing when Hammer would be playing pool with his boss and no matter where his boss stood a ball would always crack him on the head lol.

    Yup.
    Michael Long was his original name before he became Michael Knight.
    Miss that show, the reboots were all fun (but silly), but definitely miss the interactions of Michael and Kitt.

    Now I've embarrassed myself with my ignorance of Knight Rider. :( I was trying to think of the name of the bad lad in the truck and got mixed up. I was wondering why I couldn't find a good picture of him in his evil truck on Google.

    The year is 1987, and NASA launches the last of America's deep space probes. In a freak mishap, Ranger 3 and its pilot, Captain William "Buck" Rogers, are blown out of their trajectory into an orbit which freezes his life-support systems, and returns Buck Rogers to Earth, 500 years later.

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


    Nah, you were just stuck watching RTE in the 80s :D

    Here's two more terribly uncool ones:

    Not a real show - but this is unhinged:

    The video begins as a parody of opening credits sequences of 1980s and 1990s American situation comedies

    There is nothing wrong with your television. Do not attempt to adjust the picture. We are now controlling the transmission. We control the horizontal and the vertical. We can deluge you with a thousand channels or expand one single image to crystal clarity and beyond. We can shape your vision to anything our imagination can conceive. For the next hour we will control all that you see and hear. You are about to experience the awe and mystery which reaches from the deepest inner mind to the outer limits

    I think this was shown on RTE2 around 6.30 back in 85-6 I think. Found it far fetched and never got into it

    I'm going to go on a limb and say that no show entitled "Jake and the Fatman" will be remade today...

    Speaking of, wasn't there talk of a Greatest American Hero reboot?

    It is great that in the 70's & 80's where you can have shows to love leave your brain on autopilot and enjoy shows now you have ppeople who want some realism and have to engage your brain. That is why reboots (and I would love them) of Knightrider, The highwayman can not be remade as it would have to be a model man/woman with great looks and have to shock have a AAA writers with large budgets can never happen. I mean Hawaii Five O had to give that to survive his long
