Coolest old school show?

[Pirate]

BJ and the bear for sure.

[MC SoD]

Where's the poll?

[Benwah]

Magnum P.I, just for the Ferrari and that Moe.

[Pirate]

Fucking!

[dwarfthrower]

Fuck... I can't choose between The A-team, Dukes of Hazzard, Knight Rider, V, Airwolf, The Greatest American Hero or Magnum P.I.

[spurr]

Yeah, too many to choose from. It's like asking a parent to pick their favourite child!

Since you did ask for the "coolest", I went with Miami Vice. The suits, the boats, the cars, the tropical locations.....doesn't get any cooler than that baby.

[thingy]

Can't get any cooler than the Dukes!

[BlueBoy]

Dukes of Hazzard > *

[chip256]

The only one I even vuagely remember is Duke of Hazzard.

[CharmedOne]

Dukes of hazzard!
The car. The boys. daisy and boss hog..

Although I have to ask, where was Mcgyver? Battlestar Galactica?

[tikdoph]

Fuck... I can't choose between The A-team, Dukes of Hazzard, Knight Rider, V, Airwolf, The Greatest American Hero or Magnum P.I.
Seconded. :D

Best. Poll. Ever.

[Benwah]

Fuck... I can't choose between The A-team, Dukes of Hazzard, Knight Rider, V, Airwolf, The Greatest American Hero or Magnum P.I.

Magnum P.I for sure! Women want him, Men want to be him ;) :D

[Ic3]

Dukes of hazzard!
The car. The boys. daisy and boss hog..

Although I have to ask, where was Mcgyver? Battlestar Galactica?

YES! MacGyver! Who else could make a nuclear bomb out of a ping pong ball and three pens?

I used to watch that show religiously...

[108]

There's no use compaining about your favourite show not on the poll because there can only be 15 options max.

I voted Knight Rider, but MacGyver would have got my vote if it were there.

[Bifrost]

YES! MacGyver! Who else could make a nuclear bomb out of a ping pong ball and three pens?

I used to watch that show religiously...AHA! The A-Team - that's who...MacGuyver was just a one-man A-Team ripoff...I remember an episode where they fought of an entire division of the Generic-South-American-Country army using a cannon they had fashioned from a cement mixer and various other home-garden-shed implements...Oh and the cannon shot pumpkins, so no one was injured or killed on prime-time TV, but the poor Generic-South-Americano army was so demoralised that they couldn't attack in force until Murdoch came and picked up the team in a helicopter...Of course they had to sedate B.A. before he would get on board...Oh and Face had to snog the local attractive Generic-South-American freedom fighter chick as they left too...

Hmmm...I think I just described every A-Team episode ever...

Still, this is why I have the A-Team theme on my mobile...

[Ic3]

Yeah I got their theme on my phone as well..

What I love now is seeing Mr T.'s cameo appearances all over the place, such as Simpsons and Not ANother Teen Movie...

[SamBo]

Although I have to ask, where was Mcgyver?

exactly what I was going to say!
MacGuyver was the best!

[spurr]

Still, this is why I have the A-Team theme on my mobile...
and
Yeah I got their theme on my phone as well..

That makes 3 of us with the A-Team theme as their ringtone. Anyone else?

[SamBo]

and


That makes 3 of us with the A-Team theme as their ringtone. Anyone else?

I used to, a few years ago, back when it was cool and original to have a custom ringtone one your phone... :D

[spurr]

I used to, a few years ago, back when it was cool and original to have a custom ringtone one your phone... :D

Well, that's actually when I got mine too. I just never took it off when it stopped being cool.

I'm even sad enough that when I upgraded to a polyphonic phone, I just upgraded to a polyphonic version of the theme :loser:

[MisterBishi]

Street Hawk

[XAJIM]

Yeah I got their theme on my phone as well..

What I love now is seeing Mr T.'s cameo appearances all over the place, such as Simpsons and Not ANother Teen Movie...

His performance in Rocky II (iirc) was sensational as well. Monkey would also have to rate in my fave shows of yesteryear.

[Psycho Jon]

Yeah... Another one right here with the A Team ringtone... And Knight Rider... And Thunderbirds...

Yes, there truely is no limit to my geekdom.

[flow]

Jesus - this was one of the reasons I got rid of Cable TV. Bloody repeats of shit shows! Fucking TV1 has something to answer for. And they still didn't have Secret Valley! You remember Secret Valley right?

SECRET VALLEY ABC-Grundy / 1x100m-e 26x30m-e / 1980 and 1984
Children's adventure series. A group of kids manage to turn a run down ghost town into a holiday resort. A TV Movie appeared first in 1980 followed by the series 4 years later.

Also - Where the hell was Emergency? (reminder: http://greg.halpin.com/emergncy.htm)

[dozer]

haha! secret valley, those crazy kids. there was always some crazy paedophile trying to infultrate the camp, what a great show.

i thought bishi would have voted for grange hill.

[Plough]

Where is hogans heroes?

[Plough]

monkey?

[Plough]

Battlestar Galactica?

[SOC]

I can't vote in this poll, because The Six Million Dollar Man has not been included. Darling Mr Pirate, PLEASE put The Six Million Dollar Man into the poll so I can participate in this democratic process and cast my vote.

Thank you.

[sciwra]

Good to see Secret Valley got a mention, I was thinking You can't do that on television as soon as I read that. Just thinking back to the old ABC shows on when we got home from school. Astroboy was on in the morning if I remember correctly though.
I have Dangermouse on my phone btw, Panasonic so it records for a ringtone for me, I was about to attach the wav file but couldn't find the attachment button or whatever. I looked real hard too. :ha:

[Asmodeus]

hogans heroes, my favorite martian, macguyver, and the dukes of hazard..

beware, ramp bush ahead.

edit: and dont forget the muppet show.

[CharmedOne]

ahh the muppet show. Animal. Fozzy and gonzo.. Although my new favourite is ' Pepe the Prawn' from 'Muppets from Space'.. If you haven't seen it yet, and you love the muppet humor then rent/ steal/ beg for this movie. pay particular attention to Pepe's adult humor... and the tutu scene.

[Psycho Jon]

I have Dangermouse on my phone btw

That's the ringtone for my ex!

[tikdoph]

You Can't Do That On Television. :D

[Thyrd]

How could you forget macguyver(sp?) The guy is totally cool, disarming a nuclear bomb with three biro pens and a tennis raquete(sp?), that is super cool. :ha:

[Yuru]

Bifrost your description is too perfect. You are a scriptwriter.

Does anyone remember 'Manimal'? That was fun while it lasted.

For me, Knight Rider and Airwolf are most memorable because they had the best theme music.

[landmachine]

i've always thought these "hey do you remember that show..." nostalgic, self-congratulatory wank fests were really quite cringe-worthy. haven't you worked it out yet? television is stupid, it always has been, and it always will be, and just because you watched a particular show as a youth doesn't mean it was any less stupid. the rose tinted glasses of innocence are no excuse for the vapid bullshit television production companies foist upon the unwashed masses time and time again.

i don't understand why you people choose to embarrass yourselves like this so regularly. are you doing it on purpose? or are you all actually that simple in the head? you sound like a bunch of teenage stoners.

[Nandragon]

to much testosterone in the choices.

What about

Wonderwoman
The $10,000 dollar man
HR Puffinstuff
Night Stalker

[The Avatar]

Pfffft. Nigga please,

Magnum PI

Was the best and always will be the best show EVA!!!!!
Although A-Team was really good to.

What was the name of that australian show in the 80's with that dickhead jacko guy in it(from the energizer adds "Energizer OI!!!!"). I remember something about them being from the future and riding around in some big 18 wheeler truck.

[berserk]

McHale's Navy & Get Smart, niether of which are in the poll

[ShadowNemesis]

Fuck... I can't choose between The A-team, Dukes of Hazzard, Knight Rider, V, Airwolf, The Greatest American Hero or Magnum P.I.

I was the same but decided to "GO WITH THE MO" so it's Magnum P.I.

[hockypocky]

Has to be Knight Rider.. the chicks dig the car :D

[Timformation]

Has to be Knight Rider.. the chicks dig the car :D

"The Highwayman" would make Kitt his bitch!

[ashet]

Its Saint Macgyver now.

[GeeWhiz]

Wheres McGyver

[johny_roberts]

Miami Vice... The beaches, the gals the cheezy jackets......

[and3w]

Magnum, for the moustache and the coke rap!
Real life meets fiction
Uber-cool :-)

[Kez]

AIRWOLF!!@!1!11@!!!

OMIGOD. That show is better than Macgyver. Sorry, but that's that.

Airwolf turbo charged jet powered helicopter with depleted uranium tipped rockets and the only weakness of the chopper being the little fuel pipe intake at the front and OMIGOD that helicopter rules.

[Hit And Rum]

I liked A Team, Mac Gyver and the Fall Guy but with out doubt my all time favourite show.....

V

[Hit And Rum]

I liked A Team, MacGyver, Fall Guy but most of all

V

[wakmofo]

AHA! The A-Team - that's who...MacGuyver was just a one-man A-Team ripoff...I remember an episode where they fought of an entire division of the Generic-South-American-Country army using a cannon they had fashioned from a cement mixer and various other home-garden-shed implements...Oh and the cannon shot pumpkins, so no one was injured or killed on prime-time TV, but the poor Generic-South-Americano army was so demoralised that they couldn't attack in force until Murdoch came and picked up the team in a helicopter...Of course they had to sedate B.A. before he would get on board...Oh and Face had to snog the local attractive Generic-South-American freedom fighter chick as they left too...



Fuckin word!

[Moses]

and dont forget the muppet show.
70's action show? maybe Kermit got a bit of action with Miss Piggy but I pity the fool who thinks it's coming close to the A-Team in the genre..

[DodgyAmnesiac]

no love in the house for chips?!? eric estrada is my hero! GO GET EM PONCE!

[zerothru7]

The rockford files

[pkneeyahx]

what about "The Equalizer"? That pompus son of a bitch with the Isotoner gloves.. That show rocked. http://www.televisionheaven.co.uk/equal.htm

Airwolf was cool.. got my vote.

Actually.. what about "Tour of Duty" I was HARD CORE into that and the Dukes at one point.

[Kez]

A-Team. TV1, Tuesday nights, 7:30.

[Hit And Rum]

Brilliant!!

[timace]

Muppets Tonight

[KoinBahd]

I pity the fool who didn't vote for the A team...

[legion]

dukes of hazzard it was all about the car

[gimpieman]

who was the dolt who voted for tj hooker?

[RedMaN]

You can't do that on Television gets my vote.
Can't believe Secret Valley got a mention *shakes head* I used to watch that show along with th Henderson Kids hehehe

[Afta Image]

Greatest American Hero just cause it was awesome. But what about Monkey?

[Afta Image]

Actually, knowing my liuck it was made in the 70's or something.... Who cares....

MMMMOOOOOONNNNNKKKKKEEEEYYYY.........

[thingy]

I cannot believe the A-Team is winning. That show sucked harder than the actors in Chips!

[legion]

Monkey Magic, The Goodies, Herculoids, Transformers, Trapdoor

[Tank]

The Original Transformers was pretty fucking awesome... not like the crap today... fucking ripoff merchants..lets change it completly, make a bastardised form, give it better graphics, worse voices.. and give it to a generation to say... "dad transformers suck"

God my kids ever say that i am going to slap em one..

anyways.. Macgyver... Damn, should have got a mention, I voted Knightrider, chicks dig the car... and i mean, who wouldn't want one..

Then they make Team knight rider, which was ok, but kinda flopped.

A team was alright, lotsa goodness....
Where the hell is battlestar galactica??

[KoinBahd]

I cannot believe the A-Team is winning. That show sucked harder than the actors in Chips! C'mon buddy, nothing sucked harder than the actors on Chips... besides, Mr. T will bust up yo head fool!

[ms edeity]

anyone else find themselves singing the theme songs?....should have a poll on best old school theme songs....Battlestar rocked hard! (i also sadly remember having a huge crush on bj)

[criminy]

Where the hell is Hart to Hart?

Mmmmm... Stefanie Powers.

[BtrFly]

farkin now i have monkey magic in my head. - i blame you.

[T-WRX]

I am real partial to Airwolf. I liked the music when it went after the bad guys. Now it is good fuckin music. It was my wife's idea since it had a good backbeat.

[Directed]

Man almost all these shows rocked. Its so hard to choose. V was definately cheesy-good. I mean how could you not like hot women eating muscle guys for dinner literally? The whole idea that aliens were here to eat us was awesome. That being said, Stringfellow Hawke had to be the best name for a hero. So airwolf got my vote

[Yogi]

I cannot believe the A-Team is winning. That show sucked harder than the actors in Chips!

Yeah but its at the top of the list, and everyone just remebers MR T. The King of Bling.

I voted Miami Vice cause its cool. TV1 killed it thou so now i cant watch. Got that stupid A-team instead.

[Broken]

hmm dukes of hazzard for dasiy 2cd place is knight rider®™®™®™ for david hassalof http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/97128 to learn more from the great dave about knight rider

[macgyver]

it must surely be macgyver.

well I would have thought so anyway

[walrus]

The A-team of course, Ba, Murdock and Hannibal gotta love em (face sucks)

[Cain-o]

Dukes of Hazzard

[TheAwesome]

Ive had to say Dukes of Hazzard....... but thats only because MONKEY wasnt on there!!!! Kung Fu is action!!!! COME ON!!

[Norm]

I'm feeling way old what ever happened to Jet Jackson, Rifleman, Texas Rangers, Cisco Kid, Superman, etc.

[phunkachunka]

I vote for A-Team. Coolest show!

Anyone remember Degrassi Junior High or even You Can't do that on Television?

They were cool afterschool shows.

[Guest.]

Street Hawk!!! I havent thought about that show in years. The bike looked better when I was a kid tho'.
http://streethawk.tvheaven.com/

Air Wolf would have to be second, then Magnum.

[beachcomber]

giligan's island

[beachcomber]

how come I only have a rep power of 30?

[eeefreak]

BJ McKay and his best friend Bear... YEAH!!

/me wonders about the possible homosexual implications of a show referring to BJ's and Bears... hmmmmm.... That explains a lot about my life right now....

[beachcomber]

Happy days. I've always dreamed of being the Fonz

[Caffeine]

So hard to choose!

Voted airwolf because of the cool music. Still have it as a ringtone...

[Drinking Duck]

Flying away, on a wing and a prayer, ooo -ooo its me

[g_money]

What can be cooler than Pastel colored jackets ... Maimi Vice ....

[Aurelius]

To all those who voted for Galactica - remember, the old ones were pretty naff. New ones rock though. Best thing I've seen on TV in 20 years!

[Enares]

Man what a choise!

I can't decide between Magmun PI and The ol' Dukes of Hazzard

Mmmm, Daisy in that tiny tiny little skirt thing

[ewe2]

i'm a weirdo and i love blake 7, avon is my hero :P

[phunkachunka]

The A-Team for sure.

But where was the 21 Jump Street option?

[kashel]

A team gets my vote. Really Mr T gets my vote, he could do anything with his van, i mean anything.

[vaseline_midget]

i pity the fool who dont like the a team

[macgyver]

No Macgyver Option!?!?!?!

[Z-Man]

No Macgyver Option!?!?!?!

[ShinymetalASS]

Battle of the Planets

But I'm fairly sure I voted for V or Knightrider.

Kit rocked my world.

[Xythan]

V...coz it wuz gud...

But for cartoons...Transformers kicked arse...like the bad guy won in the movie...when does that happen in cartoons?

[*Ghost]

The A Team for action series

Cartoons - Chorlton and the Wheelies / Dangermouse

[bOObs]

Magnum P.I for sure! Women want him, Men want to be him ;) :D

The Hoff. Don't forget The Hoff!

[wOnko]

Blakes Seven ... who could forget the original TV Dominatrix "Serviland" .... mmmm, getting all sweaty just thinking about her, Jemma was nice also, as was Callie ... great story, pity about the cardboard budget

[infinitemma]

Has to be the A-Team.

Mr T was pure unadulterated MAAAAAN. Chuck Norris wishes he were that awesome.

[ThraX]

A-Team just for Mr.T

Tho Magnum 'mo was fucking astounding
