I want to reminsisce about crappy old (not kids) TV programmes. Anyone care to partake?

[MrsSprat]

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.

Perhaps we've all got our rose tinted specs on......or perhaps I happened to watch a crap episode the other night....

Watching repeats of A-Team/Knight Rider/Fall Guy with the benefit of grown-up insight does unearth some unpalatable Reaganite right-wing stuff though - lots of Union bashing etc

Mind you, on a less serious note, that A-Team with Boy George (Cowboy George) was a flippin' riot.

Ooh - Midnight Caller! I'd forgotten about that. And Juliet Bravo - I loved that!

Can't believe no-one's mentioned Robin of Sherwood I was a teenager at the time and remember crying tragically when Michael Praed's Robin was killed. Jason Connery just not the same. And what about Clannad's music? 'The hooded man. DUM DUM'

You know you loved it!

Soldier Soldier
Manimal
Hotel
Paint with Nancy
Crown Court
3 2 1

MacGyver - he had it all, geeky/techy knowledge wrapped up in a great body. [sigh]

I have just bought the dvds for all 3 series of Roswell I'm not entirely sure that it belongs on this thread though as I'm not sure it's really crappy.

The Rockford Files because he had a machine that answered the telephone for him and that was beyond cool

OMG I remember maelstrom.

I remember some detective thing set in Vegas. The chap had a low, sleek car which he drove into an underground garage with remote control door. I can picture the chap but can't for the life of me remember what the programme was called.

Ohh yes, the answerphone in The Rockford Files was a source of envy in our house too.

Has anyone said Magnum PI yet? Or Hawaii 5 O? (I used to love the theme tune to that.)

Hawaii 50

Van der Valk

Danger UXB

Galloping Gourmet

Blake's 7 and Sapphire and Steel. I loved them so much, I bought them all on DVD so I could watch them again .

Butterflies

The Liver Birds

Budgie

Callan

A Bouquet of Barbed Wire (I remember my mum watching it, not me)

Fanalla, the show was Vegas, and he was Dan Tanner. Sigh. I lurvvvvvved him.

I was also desperate to have an open plan house you could drive your car into until my mum rather prosaically pointed out the fumes would be disgusting.

Sigh again.

Dixon of Dock Green

The Good old Days

Dempsey and Makepeace. He used to answer his phone with "Yo!" IIRC. Didn't the two actors get married in RL?

The Saint

Are You Being Served

Just good friends - Penny and vince (Brilliant)

Chips

Fallguy

Monkey Magic

Can anyone remember
Tales of the Gold Monkey?

I had a crush on the man who flew the plane/boat thing.
I must have been about 8/9ish and we would all sit as a family eating Tudor beef crisps, sweets, chocolate and pop from the pop man.

Kate & Allie
The Cosby Show
The Wonder Years
And Mother Makes Three (very old that one!)
Banana Splitz
