Is that not Garth Knight?

Now I've embarrassed myself with my ignorance of Knight Rider. I was trying to think of the name of the bad lad in the truck and got mixed up. I was wondering why I couldn't find a good picture of him in his evil truck on Google.

The year is 1987, and NASA launches the last of America's deep space probes. In a freak mishap, Ranger 3 and its pilot, Captain William "Buck" Rogers, are blown out of their trajectory into an orbit which freezes his life-support systems, and returns Buck Rogers to Earth, 500 years later.

One of my favourite shows as a kid. Clearly I was a bit of an odd child.

Nah, you were just stuck watching RTE in the 80s

Here's two more terribly uncool ones:

Not a real show - but this is unhinged:

The video begins as a parody of opening credits sequences of 1980s and 1990s American situation comedies

There is nothing wrong with your television. Do not attempt to adjust the picture. We are now controlling the transmission. We control the horizontal and the vertical. We can deluge you with a thousand channels or expand one single image to crystal clarity and beyond. We can shape your vision to anything our imagination can conceive. For the next hour we will control all that you see and hear. You are about to experience the awe and mystery which reaches from the deepest inner mind to the outer limits

I think this was shown on RTE2 around 6.30 back in 85-6 I think. Found it far fetched and never got into it

I'm going to go on a limb and say that no show entitled "Jake and the Fatman" will be remade today...

Speaking of, wasn't there talk of a Greatest American Hero reboot?

It is great that in the 70's & 80's where you can have shows to love leave your brain on autopilot and enjoy shows now you have ppeople who want some realism and have to engage your brain. That is why reboots (and I would love them) of Knightrider, The highwayman can not be remade as it would have to be a model man/woman with great looks and have to shock have a AAA writers with large budgets can never happen. I mean Hawaii Five O had to give that to survive his long

"There are those who believe that life here began out there, far across the universe, with tribes of humans who may have been the forefathers of the Egyptians, or the Toltecs, or the Mayans. Some believe that there may yet be brothers of man who even now fight to survive somewhere beyond the heavens."
"Fleeing from the Cylon tyranny, the last Battlestar, Galactica, leads a rag-tag fugitive fleet on a lonely quest — a shining planet, known as Earth."

Your tread must be light and sure, as though your path were upon rice paper. It is said a Shaolin priest can walk through walls. Looked for, he can not be seen. Listened for, he can not be heard. Touched, he can not be felt. This rice paper is the test. Fragile as the wings of the dragon fly, clinging as the cocoon of the silk worm. When you can walk its length and leave no trace, you will have learned.

Capt'n Midnight

In the worlds before Monkey, primal chaos reigned. Heaven sought order, but the phoenix can fly only when its feathers are grown. The four worlds formed again and yet again, as endless aeons wheeled and passed. Time, and the pure essences of heaven, the moisture of the earth, the powers of the sun and the moon, all worked upon a certain rock, old as creation. And it became magically fertile. That first egg was named "thought". Tathagata Buddha, the father Buddha, said, "With our thoughts, we make the world". Elemental forces caused the egg to hatch. From it then came a stone monkey. The nature of Monkey was... irrepressible!

Anyone remember Manimal? I spent way more time than I should have trying to turn into a panther!

Also, I can't remember what it was called, but it was about some bloke who owned a scrap yard, who built a rocket out of bits of old cars and trucks and off he popped to space for the craic!
Voice over intro started "Once upon a time, a junk man had a dream....":D

It was Salvage 1 starring Andy Griffiths aka Matlock. Used to be shown on RTE on a Saturday morning. I vaguely remember it.

I can only vaguely remember it myself. I do remember he had old spare tyres for his rocket to land on, which even as a very young child just screamed design flaw to me!:D

Trivia: Richard Basehart is the voice you hear in the opening credits of Knight Rider who stared in Voyage to the Bottom of The Sea. Quite liked that show actually.

The Invaders - aliens beings from a dying planet.

Their destination - the earth.

Their purpose to make it their world.

David Vincent has seen them.

For him it began one lost night on a lonely country road, looking for a short-cut that he never found.

It began with a closed deserted diner, and a man too long without sleep to continue his journey.

It began with the landing of a craft from another galaxy.

Now, David Vincent knows the Invaders are here; 

that they have taken human form.
Somehow he must convince a disbelieving world that the nightmare
has already begun

You've just answered a long burning question. I remembered that tune but couldn't remember the name of the series. Looked it up on Wikipedia and realised another fact. One of the cast shot himself in the head with a blank round during filming and died.

AIRWOLF was cool too.

Worst show I have ever seen but is quite funny to watch just for how bad it is has to be

Has anyone ever seen Otherworld?

It was canned in 1985 after eight episodes.

A sci-fi tale about an American family who get sucked into a parallel world.

It was a bit cheap and lame, but kinda quirky

There was a remake of that with Stuart Townsend which didn't last very long.
