Talking about Bulman, I'd like to see a rerun of The XYY Man.
Enjoyed it a great deal at at the time.
The Champions.
Jason King.
The Forsyth Saga.
Adam Adamant.

I loved Danger Mouse back in the day. That did return but the new cast weren't a patch on the originals. That I suppose is always the risk when bringing things back.
Moonlighting was another must-watch - I cant remember it well enough now to know if it deserves a return.

Talking of period drama, how about Upstairs, Downstairs?

This thread is brilliant. It’s like reliving my childhood and there are some series I’d forgotten all about.
I’m reticent about going back and rewatching some of my favourite shows though. I was a big fan of Airwolf. A TV channel recently repeated all Airwolf episodes which I recorded. It was awful!
I recently found myself on Amazon about to buy an Equalizer box set, but I made myself stop. Sometimes, memories are better than the real thing.

Quite a few that I like from that era, even though I wasn't born then, starting with my all time favorite series that is a mainstay and one I've watched at least 5 times back to back, with some episodes probably more than a dozen times, M*A*S*H. I remember watching the first episode on TV, as we just got cable (grew up behind the Iron Curtain), must've been '92-'93, probably around 10 years old and shouldn't have stayed up watching it as it used to play at 10PM, something about it made me really mesmerized and hooked, even though obviously at that age many jokes flew right past me. Sometimes I think if THAT particular episode didn't play ("Tuttle", one of the best of the show imho), maybe I would have never developed what is akin to an obsession over it (or at least my wife thinks so, and she's obviously right ).
A somewhat distant second series I used to enjoy watching a lot, not so much nowadays, was Colombo - I was really determined to become a clever detective someday
Anyone mentioned Gangsters, set in Birmingham?
Nice gritty crime series as I remember it.
Never seen it repeated in recent years.

Breitling Cosmonaute 809 - What's not to like?
Public Eye. Great theme tune as well.
Survivors originally from 1975, I think - The original post apocalyptic TV drama? Gripping stuff!
The Monocled Mutineer from 1986 - Quirky and brilliant!
Neither repeated much since originally broadcast, but both left a lasting impression on me... Well worth a watch if you can find them.
'Dixon of Doc Green' - remember that?! :)
Yes me too and Wilma and Princess Ardala from Buck Rogers. Imagine having both of those two fighting over you . Don’t know why Buck didn’t take full advantage of that situation. I’ll still happily sit through season one of that.
Makepeace and Purdey too .
As a kid in the 70s I think the boys had it pretty good for TV fodder. Even sally james from Tizwas .
Blake’s 7 is still surprisingly good script and performance wise after all these years. I was approached three times over the last 20 years to do the vfx for a reboot. Each time they didn’t realise I’d been approached before. Nothing came of it though. Every few years I hear someone talking about it again. I do think it could make a good series and I think the been should still do it.
Peaky Blinders in space.
As a kid I quite liked The Fantastic Journey , Space 1999 too is still quite watchable and strangely pervy sometimes.
Land of the Giants.
