First wave?

Indeed it was - and pretty dire it was as well.

I agree with TW2001 on soaps, but not charmed - it has a few dud episodes but the majority have been good.

I don't know about crap but the most abstract thing I watched was series called "The Highwayman" with the guy who played Flash Gordon out of the film in it. He used to drive a lorry that turned into a helicopter.
.

'The Highwayman' had Jane Badler in it, worth watching for her alone.
Automan, Streethawk, Knightrider, Airwolf etc all cannon fodder really but harmless escapist fun.

Prisoner Cell Block H was great, 'He used to give me roses, I wish he would again.' 'But that was on the outside, and things where different then.'
The theme brings tears to me eyes. Free Bea Smith.

Most of the parapsychology shows on Living are get my vote for lamest shows. Most Haunted, etc are at best wastes of space, at worst con jobs preying on the weak minded.

The Highwayman was great. I'm surprised anyone else remembers it. A crime fighting trucker, with a truck that turns invisible & has a cab that turns into a helicopter, LOL, what more can you want.


Jane Badler? Wasn't she in "V"?


EDIT: As well as Streethawk, Knightrider, Airwolf, etc...who else remembers "Manimal"?

Yes jane was in 'V' before 'The Highwayman' I suspect most people only watched it because she was in it
I missed StuBs post that mentioned Manimal too. Yes another program that was good to watch at the time but seems dated now.
McGuyver also seemed good at the time too, but again hard to watch nowadays.

Ah, "V". "V" was great. The series wasn't as good as the original TV movie & mini series though.

Manimal....v odd.

MacGuyver! Excellent stuff.

man alive did some one say V yap well the original TV movie and the final battle where done by two different so Directers so thay won't the same thing and as for the series it's not as bad as the critics made it out to be

[Tezcatlipoca]

V was wicked. I think Kenneth Johnson did the original (the guy who did "Alien Nation" - another excellent series). Yeah, the series was OK, but it still wasn't as good as the TV-movie/mini-series IMO (just seemed wrong...the mini-series ended things nicely....)

[Bifta]

Big Brother, The Salon, Celebrity Fit Club, Fashanu's boring football challenge (or whatever it's called, let's be serious, you'd have thought TV companies would have learnt that Fash is Mr. Wooden after Gladiators .. oh yes, before I forget), Gladiadddddeeeeerrrss, Game Pad 4 (because Bravo have taken it upon themselves to repeat this series permenantly) and the ultimately, most sh*t program of all time is ... Gamesville, wtf is that all about? They get illiterate moron children to make pathetic attempts at reviewing games, even the presenters are full of crap and as for "The Guru" wtf? He looks like a child molester, i'd be worried if any of my kids wrote to him for "hints and tips"

Is Mmmmm a clue? Did it begin with M? Or was it Hustle?

My lame shows would be any cosy Sunday evening drama - Heartbeat, Where the Heart Is, Monarch of the Glen, etc. but not Hamish Macbeth, which wasn't really that cosy any way.

Oh, and Ally MacBeal - tried to watch it once and wanted to punch almost every single character.

Apart from Lucy Liu (the only reason to watch the film of Charlies Angels! Hang on, should this be in the "girls you lust over" thread?!)
