Default 80's TV programmes

Just wondering what was everyone's favourite............

Watched an Airwolf epsiode tonight and I must say it was EXCELLENT!!

Then downloaded the Streethawk anthem
Looked at some Glynis Barber pictures

Got a real sense of nostalgia

Anyone got a fave?

All good choices but I'd have gone for Miami Vice as the numero uno 80's prog (as he removes socks, jumps in to sportscar, blows a drug dealer away and saves the girl )

Hello

Ah, yes! Miami Vice! I was clearing out some of my clothes the other day and found my expensive pastel jacket with the sleeves rolled up. Oh dear.

I'm sorry, but were you all on drugs through the eighties or what?

The best one was obviously Dukes of Hazzard, because it was the only one with Daisy Duke's *** in it

Surely Dukes of Hazzard was 70's?

Airwolf for me - the pilot movie was excellent.

Is it still running on Bravo?

Nope sorry...............Airwolf would have kicked Blue Thunder's ***

Dukes of Hazzard was definately 80s
Miami Vice, never really watched it, liked the opening credits but that was it.

Think I should have put Magnum on there aswell, there's always something you forget.

The Professionals was also a good 'un.

Loved Streethawk
Enjoy Dukes of Hazard on a whole new level now
Prefered BlueThunder to Airwolf, although that's only cause near the end of Airwolfs run all they did was have the helicopter in it for the last 5mins
Oh and the first 2 series of Buck Rogers is great to watch now...MMmmm Erin Grey!!! and that evil princess drool!

I actually voted for the A-Team btw!

Did anyone else wonder how the A-Team managed to spray bullets everywhere without killing a single person? Not a good advertisement for the accuracy of the Ruger AC556 rifle!

Also, how come shooting the radiator of a jeep always made it fly into the air and blow up? (also without killing anyone). Ditto for grenades that made people fly into the air without any shrapnel wounds!

The most ridiculous one I remember was when the baddies' helicopter crashed into a cliff and fell to the ground in a burning wreck. The baddies emerged looking a little sooty and dazed but otherwise none the worse for wear!!!

Ok - here's one -

I rememember a programme where the hero was computer generated and had a car that could only travel in straightlines and turn at 90 degrees. His costumer was flourescent blue - any ideas???

There was also 'Coverup' which ended suddenly when the lead actor IIRC shot himself in the head while messing around with a blank-firing gun.

Airwolf v Blue Thunder.

We're taking Jan Michael Vincent V Garth from Wayne's World here you know... (not the blue thunder movie obviously) Party on...

I always remember the Viz Top Tips - "If you ever catch the A Team do not lock them in a Tool Shed"...

Automan, or Autocar, or summat

Instead of talking to KITT, he'd talk to Cursor.

EDIT - Automan: here you go.
