TV shows from the 70's and 80's that you wish were repeated...
Even if now they might be a bit naff or dated. :)
For me:
Voyage to the bottom of the sea
Man from Atlantis
Blakes 7
Space 1999
Joe 90
Six million dollar man
Time tunnel (?)
Airwolf
You can find many of these online if you look.
Anyone remember "Tales of the Golden Monkey"?
The Six Million Dollar Man was pretty good, there have been rumours of a mega-budget reboot movie (the series was based on the book Cyborg) for years.
Hawaii Five-0 was always cool.
Chips was quite good as I recall.
I liked The Fall Guy, and Buck Rogers, and Battlestar Galactica (the rebooted series was some of the finest television ever made in my opinion).
Manimal and StreetHawk stank though.
So clever my foot fell off.
Yep - 'Monkey' was excellent, as was 'The Water Margin'! :)
Agree with all the above.
I’ve just re-watched ‘The One Game’ on DVD. A lost gem.
Rumpole of the bailey always a favourite of mine .Great witty writing and good characters

Curiously, a couple of nights ago I watched a black and white film from 1949 on the Classic Movies channel about the French revolution with Richard Basehart playing Robespierre! I kept thinking, that's Admiral Nelson from the Seaview that is.
Mind Your Language
I'd love to see the snowflake reaction!
So much better than Blue thunder.

I've a vague recollection of this as a kid but after googling it just all the memories came flooding back. It was a really good show, as a kid

Agree with all the above apart from the reboot Galactica, never got on with that
Manimal and StreetHawk stank though.
At this point I'm going to have to ask you outside for a fight. Next you'll be saying Automan was crap!

Was Tour of Duty on in the 80s? I used to watch that religiously but can't seem to find it anywhere these days.
Just Good Friends I really liked.
Rising Damp I only watched when I was older.
But Laurel and Hardy was my favourite.
All of those shows have been televised recently or are still on cable channels with the exception of Public Eye which starts on TPTV tomorrow night at 8pm - looking forward to it.
Cheers,
Neil.
Rentaghost and Bod
'Bird of Prey' with Richard Griffiths
It's got to be Robinson Crusoe during the 6 weeks holidays, whenever I hear the theme tune I'm 10 years old again.
Miami Vice! According to the Miami Herald, MV changed the whole city within the 5 yrs - the 5 seasons the show was aired.

I bought the DVD boxset of Hardcastle and McCormick. I couldn't even bear to watch one episode. The same with Automan.
You can't go back.
Though I do enjoy Buck Rogers still. Wilma Deering. Gnnnnn.
