There was a weird as fuck show called Sapphire and Steel around then. I think it was a bit ahead of its time
British show. Was very bizarre and low budget in the classic BBC style. Joanna Lumley and David McCallum. I used to enjoy it but didn't know what the hell I was watching
That was exactly what I thought
All the guys were metals and all the chicks were gems. The beeb made great sci fi back then. Tom Baker's Dr Who and Blake's 7 were unmissable
Not made by BBC - was ITV's response to the popularity of Dr Who by pairing Ilya Kuryakin (McCullum - Man from UNCLE) and Purdey (Joanna Lumley - New Avengers).
Must be time for me to (again) mention Joanna Lumley opening her front door to me wearing only her chemise :face_with_stuck-out_tongue_winking_eye:
That story may be far more effective if anyone knew what a chemise was

I know it's constantly replayed on TV but it's classic
Again love it...
I don't think xfiles aged well from rewatching old episodes just seemed average but I remember it being super creepy as a kid.
And for some an acquired taste... 😊

Radio with Pictures
Couldn’t wait for Sunday nights. Pre you tube/ internet this and 6 week old music press (NME) was the only way to get new music.
Dr Rock, Karen Hay, Dick Driver even that nerdy Phil dude certainly introduced some great music to a generation. -
Hill st blues was great , New York City was such a decaying dump in that era too.
No mention of any kiwi shows from that era so far , I can’t remember any decent ones either
There was a weird time due to a strike or something where there were no hosts and tv show called heartbeat city came on that was just one song after another . Cv was a pretty good replacement for RWP when it came out .

Wiki says they filmed much in Chicago but it was never specified as to where the show was set.
Another show I really enjoyed was Taxi, although it started in the late 70s
This was from the only episode I clearly remember. Latka bakes coca leaf infused cookies and feeds it to the crew

ALf!!
Under the mountain probably scared the shit out of me as kid (read the book too)
@JC WKRP great show, pretty sure I recorded and rewatched certain scenes over and over and over and...
-
Good Times and Welcome Back Kotter were two favourites as well.
Even though it never aired in Australia, we would get video tapes of it sent to us, the Martin Show. The funniest (and best) stuff Martin Lawrence ever did. -
@Virgil Under the mountain was scary AF - WIlberforces
Did oyu ever watch the re-make? I didnt, not sure if I want to.

Turkey drop . That was fucking gold .
The chick with the glasses was pretty tidy too as was Mindy in Mork and Mindy .

@MajorRage said in Old TV Shows:
Anybody mentioned The Flying Doctors yet?
Lenore Smith, probably the first short haired girl most of us had a hard on over.
Great show though, awesome characters
Good call . Later on Sophie Lee .
The cop and the mechanic were my favourite characters on that show .

@jegga said in Old TV Shows:
mechanic
Wasn't that Rebecca Gibney?
I have no memory of the one @MajorRage is talking about so obviously the short hair did nothing for me.
