Just had a hankering, points for obscurities with ludicrous premises

OK I'll start: Midnight Caller
Jack Killian, late night San Francisco DJ and sometime crime-fighter(?), with a Moonlighting rip-off will they/won't they thing with blonde boss.
Really rubbish.

Danny Sparks, died in a fire at Christmas. A sad Saturday night in my house.

Tour Of Duty. Used to watch it. Don't remember much about it.

Star Cops, don't think that even got a repeat.

Monkey. Born from an egg on a mountain top.

Does anyone (anyone?) remember MANIMAL?

Fantasy Island with ludicrously politically incorrect waiter Tatoo was a bit of a childhood fave

And no weekend was complete without The Adventure of Dick Turpin - and Swift Nick ~(swoon!)

TurkeyLurkey · 26/06/2008 23:48

I watched some of The Good Life the other night on Sky though and it seemed really shit.

But there again I was about 7 when I used to think it was good.

VeniVidiVickiQV · 26/06/2008 23:49

They were good! Great Saturday or Sunday tea-time viewing!
