80's TV shows

[Sugar Ape]

Talking about The remake of The Equalizer in work ( Why are their so many 'd's in Edward Woodwards name? Because if there weren't he'd be called Ewar Woowar ) got me thinking of other 80's shows I liked. Does anyone remember a programme called Sledge Hammer?

 

My arl man used to let me stay up and watch it when I was a kid, think it was on Itv about 11pm. Used to love that.

I remember it well. The lead character was a bot like Tackleberry in Police Academy.

 

This thread has the potential to go a bit Peter Kay ("Tiswas! Hahahaha") but I loved and was freaked out by the Adventure Game when I was little.

I loved tripods as a kid

Trust me... I know what I'm doing!

 

 

Available on DVD, think Amazon still stock it.

I remember this as a kid but I thought it was serious

Sledge Hammer was ace. Funfact: His female colleague was the real-life wife of Michael Crichton.

 

 

I am a big fan of TV shows opening-montages in general and the 80s had some great ones.

 

Equalizer was near perfect:

 

 

Loved Stingray as well (not the British Stingray):

That bit in The Equaliser title sequence where Brian Johnson out of AC/DC goes for that woman in the lift when the lights flicker off used to frighten me every time i saw it.

How do you post a Youtube link again?  I promise I'll remember this time.

Just paste the whole link in and it should work in most browsers without doing anything else.

 

If not, when you get the options above your post - Bold, italic etc... - The YouTube button is next to the Twitter one but it's invisible so just hover over it, click it and paste the whole YouTube link in, not just the end bit like you used to on the old site.

Cheers, why is it invisible - no wonder I keep forgetting.

I got freaked out by a programme called UFO but it was way before the 80s.

Fuck knows. There is another invisible button next to the quote one as well but I don't know what that does. Maybe we should continue this on the conspiracy theories thread.

Gareth Bale's mum and dad everyone.

[stringvest]

 

Freaky.

 

I loved that program.  More camel toes than an Egyptian taxi rank.

This programme you're discussing broadcast in 1970. You've just got to shake your head at this place at times.

[Total Longo]

Not many bettered this...

 

[stringvest]

Don't care.  #purplehairandpissflaps

Some of us are a bit older and dont like being left out due to our paranoia.

If you'd changed the title to 'in your 80s' you'd only have Stringy posting.

Manimal, Automan, Street Hawk, Megaforce & Airwolf (some might have been pre-80s).

 

I always remember seeing a film/pilot on the telly in the mid 80s called North Star about an austronaut who looked into the sun & got special powers from it, they were going to make a show out of it but decided it was shite so didn't. It made quite an impression on me at the time but I got a hold of a copy a few years back & they were right, it was fucking awful.

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