80's TV shows

[Mook]

I vaguely remember seeing that on TV back then too. His eyes would glow yellow like fire or something.

 

His eyes went all yellow & his head buldged, he could run really fast & jump over walls but it was killing him. It was quite mental when I was 6 or whatever.

I loved tripods as a kid

 

Tripods was absolutely superb.  People getting Capped all over the shop like it was South Central LA.

 

Used to love this as a kid as well.

 

 

Then when a little bit older this bollocks, with one of television's finest ever so shit its great soundtracks:

 

 

Remember playing it to the other half years ago and her saying it was just shit shit.  Didn't speak to her for hours the bastard. 

 

And the old classic Auf Wiedersehen, Pet was a Friday night ritual.

I can't believe Miami Vice hasn't had a look in here.  Or Hart To Hart, Magnum, The Last Resort with Jonathan Ross, Boys From The Blackstuff.

It would probably be a better thread if the shows mentioned were a little more obscure. I'm sure we have an 80s TV thread on the GF already as I've posted stuff about the likes of Street Hawk and Miami Vice before.

Television South West era Gus Honeybun?  I was into him well before anyone else was...

 

In reality he ruined every summer holiday when I had to go down and stay at my Nan's he did, the shit fucking cunt.  Sometimes nostalgia seriously plays tricks as to how much better television used to be generally.

Such a weird series.  Compelling by the end.  Brenda Blethyn in underwear all the time.  Bizarre.

Misfits of Science was awesome. Had a total crush on Courtney Cox then.

 

And of course Captain Power

[Harry Squatter]

Used to love the Hulk TV Series. I remember there was an episode called "The other" where David Banner found that there was a scientist who had injected similar gamma rays he had absorbed into some old caretaker. The other hulk was scary, dead tall, mad hair and big teeth. There was a scene where he was trying to get a gate off a mine as he was trapped in it. Me and my brother had proper nightmares for weeks after it.

[Guest Super Sub]

I used to love V in the early 80's but never actually watched a full episode of it cause it scared the shit out of me. I would watch until they stripped into their lizard skin and then it would have to get turned off.

[Stouffer]

Dick Spanner PI.

[Guest Numero Veinticinco]

So, what do I win?

 

[stringvest]

I don't remember a lot of these 80s series.  But I was living the life of a slightly less cautious Keith Richards at the time.

[redheart]

I loved this piece of trash. Still do I downloaded all of it a year or so ago

 

[redheart]

I loved this after I saw the first series repeated late night after news at 10

Loved this late night piece of shit. An aging Lee Van Cleef as a ninja trying to find his daughter with the help of some headstrong young man whilst special Japanese ninjas try to kill him. Whenever called upon to do his ninja shit Lee Van Cleef would put on a balaclava because that is the way of the ninja (and because he was in his 60s and could barely move and hence made it easier to use a stuntman)

One of my favourite comedy shows of the 1980s
