#1 on my list is "Macgyver". I have the boxset and still love it today. I also love the whole "V" series.

MIAMI VICE... the greatest cop show ever made, me and my friends would play it, after the show, and then you had five kids arguing for hours, over who got to be Sonny Crockett.... aah good times!
THE FALL GUY... Lee Majors was one manly mofo, and Heather Thomas was hot in a bikini, also loved that GMC Sierra truck with the eagle decal!
THE A-TEAM... I loved how Mr. T would just add more and more gold chains for every episode, by the final season, he was barely able to stand up!
KNIGHT RIDER... A talking car... what kid didn't watch this show?!
HILL STREET BLUES... awesome cop show, awesome theme song, never did figure out what city it was suppose to be set in, does anyone know?!
BRING EM' BACK ALIVE... I was totally into the Indy movies and that whole adventure thing, so this show was one of my favourites!
DEGRASSI JUNIOR HIGH... use to watch this with my sister all the time, good memories... even if the show itself, was not that great!
21 JUMP STREET... great teen cop show, Depp was cool, and Holly Robinson was hot!
SATURDAY MORNING CARTOONS... Transformers, Thundercats, Masters of the universe, GI Joe, M.A.S.K, Sheera, Robotech etc. Damn I miss the 80's...):
Well, I pretty much watched every American tv show that was on back then, even the bad ones... Which resulted in me getting top marks in english all through school, and never having to do homework in that class! So don't ever say that television is a waste of time, and just makes you dumber...

Oh, those were the days. I don´t watch series regularly nowadays at all. The magic is just not there.
I´m really glad that we have old shows in these dvd boxes now Posts: 7054 | From: Finland | Registered: Feb 2008 | Site Updates: 7

Ooooh. It's from the 70s. I don't remember this, but I bet my sister does.
Funny thing... I didn't know that Isis the goddess in Ancient Egyptian mythology wore high heels... Posts: 2729 | From: Kansas City, MO "At the Enchantment Under the Sea Dance" | Registered: Apr 2007 | Site Updates: 9

How about "Silver Spoons". I was so jealous of all the stuff Ricky had.

jdoc-almost everyone on here knows that I am real life friends with Joanna Cameron, who played Isis. I actually had something to do with the whole series being released to DVD...it came out last July. If Joanna had decided to have been on the special features, I would have been the person to have got her on there, because I know the producer of the DVD, and I contacted Joanna to give her his phone number to call him. It didn't work out though.
It was my favorite show of all time.

I wonder why she quit acting?

I forgot to add Head of the Class, Murder She Wrote, Designing Women and The Golden Girls. And one of my personal favorites, a show in which most people have never heard of, Down to Earth.

One of my other favorites was also Little House on the Prairie. I would have never admitted that back in the day to my buddies (a macho thing), but I will today. Just got the 2 hour pilot episode on DVD.

jdoc-I have a bunch of pictures of me and Joanna. My best friend was in Hawaii last year...and I asked Joanna if she would meet her, and my friend went over to her house, and they took a bunch of pictures together...I posted them on that website of Joanna's. It was really cool.
Joanna quit because she got tired of all of it, she did do some directing. She was in the Guiness Book of World Records for having done more TV commercials than anyone. A few years ago she was on the VH-1 ..."Where are they now?, Superheroes."
She and her boyfriend packed up their stuff and moved from California to Hawaii and opened their own hotel, so since I have a B & B...we talk alot about how much we have in common with that.
She has kind of become a mentor to me in that way...she is very business smart. She was my childhood idol, and now we are good friends. It's very cool. I have gotten to know Brian Cutler too, he played Rick Mason on Isis.
If you have never seen the show, the DVD set that they released, is really awesome, they have all kinds of extra footage on it. They have interviews with the rest of the cast.
It's kind of like if you took The Greatest American Hero, Wonder Woman and Indiana Jones and threw that in a blender...this is what you'd get.

Isis,
That sounds really nice. Maybe you could go visit her in Hawaii! Most people never get to meet their idol let alone get to become friends with them... That's cool... Posts: 2729 | From: Kansas City, MO "At the Enchantment Under the Sea Dance" | Registered: Apr 2007 | Site Updates: 9

I am gonna go on the record here and say that MacGuyver is probably the show I like least in all of TV history. I mean, I'd rather watch *just about anything* besides MacGuyver. That show took stupid to new levels, but what was worst of all? Richard Dean Anderson couldn't act his way out of a plastic bag.
The guy is Derek Zoolander for real, he's got ONE LOOK...here it is!
There you go....thats RDA's entire range of emotions right there. Thats not botox kids, thats *talent*.
I hope to god all you folks voting for MacGuyver are female, and rocking those post-80's RDA crushes. That show was horrible.
Having dropped that atom bomb, let me say this..today, if I had to pick some 80's shows to watch, they'd probably be these:
Miami Vice - I watched Season 1 and most of season 2 but after that the show had kinda gone stale for me. Today on DVD I think its a much stronger show than I ever gave it credit for being, back in the day.
St. Elsewhere - This show was my crack. Dont know why, it just was. I loved the characters and the story. I watched it for most of the seasons it was on. ITs a damn shame we'll likely never see more than the 1st season on DVD due to the fact that only about 4 people bought copies, and I wasn't even one of them (thankyou Netflix).
LA Law - Like Miami Vice, this show was a show I really had no business liking, but I did. I loved the characters and loved the whole hot-shot lawfirm schtick. It was very 80's. Even back in the 80s' it felt REALLY 80's. I haven't seen an episode since some night in 1986 or 87 when I probably caught an entire episode and never looked back....if its out on DVD I should look into this.
AIRWOLF - out of all the "Guy with a kickass vehicle" shows, this one probably holds up the best. Sure its the same damn show EVERY SINGLE EPISODE...helicopter evades missle, ground blows up, helicopter kicks in the turbos...launches missle..blows up vehicle/building/person while triumphant Steven J. Cannel theme plays in background.....but I think its also the LEAST cheezy of all those shows. Hawk was ridiculous, Automan was...lets not go there..Stingray was..uh I never even watched that one. And of course Knight Rider is painful to watch, even today. It wasn't when I was 10...but...I was 10.
Oh yeah, and USA Night Flight on Friday Nights and Commander USA's Groovy Movies.
