LancsVillan Posted September 10, 2008 Moderator Posted September 10, 2008 so go on vote.... nah forget that I've started this thread as a trip down memory lane of those programmes I used to watch, but I've had to kill the list as you only get 10 options. McCloud Columbo Ironside The Fall Guy Cagney and Lacey Knight Rider The A team fantasy Island (It's a plane boss) Lou Grant I could go on but that would negate the thread and is serves as a reminder of just how much American TV I've watched throughout my life as most of the things I watch today are from the US too and this is not even thinking of the 'comedies'
Stevo985 Posted September 10, 2008 VT Supporter Posted September 10, 2008 Hill Street Blues is the only on eI've ever seen, and it was hilariously bad! I've watched a bit of Macgyver. Classic television!
LancsVillan Posted September 10, 2008 Author Moderator Posted September 10, 2008 Against today's TV HSB does look bad but it was for me THE best thing to watch ever and I never missed an episode. It won every TV award going at the time too.
alf_stewart Posted September 10, 2008 Posted September 10, 2008 I used to watch Cagney & Lacey with my Mum when I was a nipper; probably the best program ever made. Tongue, cheek. Also used to wag off college just to watch Ironside in it's late nineties lunchtime slot.

mjmooney Posted September 10, 2008 VT Supporter Posted September 10, 2008 I voted for The Rockford Files, as it was the only one I've seen. Classic Mike Post theme music.
Designer1 Posted September 10, 2008 VT Supporter Posted September 10, 2008 Hill Street Blues by the proverbial country mile. Still one of my favourite shows ever, don't think I ever missed an episode.
LancsVillan Posted September 10, 2008 Author Moderator Posted September 10, 2008 as were five others in the list.
BOF Posted September 10, 2008 Moderator Posted September 10, 2008 Crazy Like A Fox, Hunter and Petrocelli. I don't remember these 3, does that mean I'm not as old as I think? ... and where's Dukes of Hazzard I thought I was the only one who remembered Hardcastle & McCormick - mainly (solely) because of the car they used in it. Oh and what about Street Hawk Looking at it now, that bike looked crap. Oh oh oh and what about ... Automan. Awesome how he could turn corners at 90 degrees without slowing down.
markavfc40 Posted September 10, 2008 Posted September 10, 2008 I've gone for Chips. This is definately a poll for the over 30s.
BOF Posted September 10, 2008 Moderator Posted September 10, 2008 I don't get 'why' you vote for anything? There's no question to the poll. Do I pick my favourite ? Of that list, probably between Chips and Airwolf. We'll go with Airwolf
tonyh29 Posted September 10, 2008 Posted September 10, 2008 McGuyver ..so good it's constantly mentioned in the Simpsons I liked Airwolf .. I just remember it being on TV then not being on TV , did it ever really end and he find his brother ? Probably the best US one i remember form the 80's was Magnum .... but from the 90's Quantum Leap though I hated the ending spoiled a perfectly good series in 30 seconds with poxy religious mumbo jumbo and a "Sam never went home" Columbo From that other thread of mine about picturing VT members ..don't you mean "Blandy" :-)
PaulMcgrathsknees Posted September 10, 2008 Posted September 10, 2008 No A-team and Knight Rider? Cheers? Happy Days? Columbo is the best for me! But voted Airwolf for the 80's music!
