    I actually thought it was funnier than the Leslie Nielson one. Was that called Police Story or something like that?

    Police Squad. I love the shootout scene. :D

    I cannot think of the name but maybe someone can help. It was a family in America and one of the main characters had Down Syndrome.
    Really catchy theme tune "oh blah dee oh blah dah life goes on, la la la la life goes on!"
    Loved it.

    I remember this show that had a girl dancing around a may pole in the credits and when she did it she went into a different world or back in time. This would have been the ninties I suppose, I think it was English. Anyone recall ?

    Mr Belvedere - like a white Benson. The mother and daughter were smokin'.

    Head Of The Class - Mr Moore, everyone's favourite sub-teacher.

    The Edison Twins - NERDS

    Book Adventures - obscure, the title used here was not the same as in the US. Shown on RTE in the early 1980s; the stories have an ABC After School Special vibe. I remember looking up the Irish Times television listings and it was noted as having yet another different title.

    I think many will remember, but might need to be reminded of wizbit, paul daniels program which has some great puzzles in it.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wizbit
    The show was created by Barry Murray, who had formerly been Mungo Jerry's record producer, with assistance from Daniels. Its theme tune is based on a song by Lead Belly, named "Ha-Ha This A Way", sung by Daniels. All rights to characters and designs were retained by Daniels, and the music rights by Murray.

    A revival of the series was announced in 2009 with a movie set for Summer 2010, but they were both cancelled.

    and found this, Debbie Magee looking well, the black woman looking off her nut at the 44sec mark







    few others I had forgotten

    Loved it.

    Never saw the show, but well done on the words. I had that single, it was by The Marmalade and was called, if memory serves, "Oh Bla di oh bla da. Pretty sure there was a Beatles connection.

    Branie2 mentioned "The Fugitive". We lived in the UK when this showed, and it was the only night of the week we were allowed to stay up late (till 9 !!!). Anyway, we moved to Ireland and missed the very last episode. Aaargh. What actually happened was that we didn't have BBC over here, but it was shown on RTE - believe it or not, RTE were always one week ahead of UK. At least that's how it was explained to 10 year old me wanting to know if Kimble caught the One-armed-man, before being caught himself.

    Great. There was a real social justice theme. Fairness and integrity.
    RTE repeated it Tuesdays or Thursdays around 1986. Around 5.05pm or so. Reminds me of twilight evenings in winter.
