I loved that australian program where they could time travel and there was these suits they could wear, where they slide there arms together and throw a ball of fire.
What was the name of it again??

V1llianous · 16-03-2006 01:31PM

I loved:

Airwolf
Street Hawk (actually have a few novels from this) - pity there are no DVDs etc. Edit: just found this site http://streethawk.tvheaven.com/ some episodes up there - class !
Transformers
and Jamie and the Magic Torch - picked up a couple of DVDs of this a few months ago to pass on to the next generation.

well sometimes boundaries are a bit blurry. But I apologise if this indeed should have been the wrong forum.

ha ha...that's fun!

Reading this thread really makes me feel young again! That's nice, especially cos I have a birthday coming up at the beginning of April

Somehow, it seems they had better tv shows back in the 70s and 80s. I couldn't name even a dozen of good shows I watch these days. .....but then, I probably just don't have as much time any more as I used to have a kid.
