Old Shows that I'd like to see re-run

coupland

Just thinking about shows that I'd like to see re-run on the TV - apologies to our younger viewers

Wiseguy (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0092484/)

The Greatest American Hero (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0081871/)

Petrocelli
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0071032/


Anyone else have any favourites?

Ahhh, The Greatest American Hero. "Believe it or not I'm walking on air..."


I'd like to see the Littlest Hobo again and I was a big fan of Briscoe County Jr.

Manimal

Bring Em Back alive

Maybe I'd be better off not seeing them and living with the vague memories...

Badabing

Quantum leap, "Look out sam"

Although I hate to admit it, you're right. I used to love Airwolf, but watched a re-run on Bravo and it was terrible!

Remington Steel I thought it was the funnyest PI show on TV. (Forget Moonlighting)

I watched The Greatest American Hero again recently and it absolutely ruined my fond memories of it (It was shíte, in retrospect).

Or just simply:

Me! wrote:

Sam leaps into a bar called "Al's," tended and owned by a man (surprise surprise) called Al - and it's only the first of a swarm of parallel people Sam encounters in this bar - where either the name or the person is identical to someone he's met and helped at some point in the series. Meanwhile, "our" Al has lost communication with Sam and is desperately trying to find him. Throughout the show, Sam learns more about this bartender Al and at least one other character who is a "leaper" like Sam (helpful, not some smarmy "evil female" love interest). Eventually, we realise that this Al is, if not HE, then a deity-type who is giving Sam a "break" from the action as well as the opportunity to learn how the leaping originated - and that, most of all, it is driven by Sam, not some otherworldly force. This Al asks Sam what he most wants to do, and that wish will catapult him either home or to the next leap. Teary, he says "I really want to go home, but first I have to make right what went wrong in Al's (his) life." This Al pats his shoulder (I think) and says "God Bless You, Sam" and Sam is then back in time in (his) Al's home, where Al's then-wife is weeping. Sam tells her that Al is ok, and will return home from the war. Happy ending to then - the screen will fade to black and we're informed that Al and (wife) went on to have (5?) children and are celebrating their 38th anniversary. Then, another screen informs us that Sam NEVER leaped home.

There it is...

Sam made the ultimate sacrifice for Al.

I must try and get a hold of that episode. It was called 'Mirror Image', as far as i can remember. Like i said, one of the best finales ever broadcast in my opinion!

mad m

Want " The Littlest Hobo" back on screen.Also Kung fu "grasshopper"

newgrange

"My So-Called Life".

byte

I'd go with "The Littlest Hobo" though that was on some cheapo channel on Sky some months ago, think it was Life TV or something...

Also wouldnt' mind a rerun of The Fall Guy..

Littlest Hobo!! 'There's a voice that keeps on calling me, down the road, that's where I'll always be.......'

Saw it a few times on Living TV recently. I still love the theme tune but my god, memories really can make shows seems a lot better then they were!

I'd love to see The Fall Guy. I loved that show! Colt Seevers etc etc!

watched one episode last year, loved the howl of the engines they always put in, but wouldn't watch the whole series again.

just remebered one bit from that part I saw and I quote : 'those aren't just normal Nazis,...... they are NEO NAZIS :eek: !!!' followed by very dramatic music.

That was one under rated show.

"Murphy Brown" especially the ones starig Garry Marshall (the dirctor)

Barnaby Jones, F Troop and the famous Teddy Z. (Why he was famous - I can't even remember)

Davey Devil

Been watching Bullseye on Challenge for a while now. Classic game show which must be brought back. I'd love to see a new series made but they'd have to have "Big" Jim Bowen back and the crappy prizes. Legendary.

Prisoner Cell Block H - Was so ****, it was brilliant. Watched it for years and UTV canceled it with only a year or so to go.
Also, the classic "The Prisoner" from the 60's. What a f*cked up program that was!!!! Utter brilliance. Have the first few episodes on tape. Available on dvd now. Must visit Port Merrion to see the set

Yeah, I used to love that when it was on. He had a digital watch which kept him visible but he had to switch it off to become invisible. If he did this for more than 15 minutes in a 24 hour period he would die. I remember the first digital watch I got (late seventies?) had a red LCD, which I used to pretend was like his.

This is him (can't see the bloody watch though!)

gemini man

There's loads more I'd love to see again. Just watching Miami Vice Season One on DVD and it rocks. It's one of those programmes thatI watched repeats of as a child and grew to love.

Cake Fiend

How has noone mentioned MacGyver yet?
Also, Dangermouse, also Count Duckula.

Elmo

How has noone mentioned MacGyver yet?

Cause its always repeated. It's like the A-team.

Also, Dangermouse, also Count Duckula.

Victor And Hugo (They used to turn up in Count Duckula, and then they got there own series)
