in the 70s and early 80s (particulary where the target demographic was expect
to be kids) had a pretty big layer of cheese on the writing, and some pretty serable production values. I re-watched the Six Million Dollar Man last year. me of it was pretty tough going. Right now I'm watching Miami Vice. The aest

This is the next series I want to watch. One thing I enjoy about old TV
shows are the longer camera shots (not sure if it's the right
expression). Modern TV shows make me dizzy.
As far as The Six Million Dollar Man goes, I enjoyed it, but I have to
say if you're a little OCD like me, the continuity issues may drive you bonkers.

Yeah, I meant that it's a little bit more watchable because it *wasn't* target
towards kids. Writers seemed to have had some contempt for kids or something,
nd really went overboard dumbing their scripts down back in the day. You can s
the stark difference between a show thought to be for adults versus one that s 'family oriented' when you compare Airwolf season one (which is a lot darker
to the subsequent seasons which shifted towards 'family friendly.'

Yep. The A-Team was THE number one show for me in late-elementary school / ear

You mean like this thread that is supposed to be about Battlestar Galactica? People changing the topic of a thread without having the
sense to change the subject line is what dives me bonkers. Seems like there is no such thing as Netetiquette anymore.

I saw an old magazine ad that had Mr T and Boy George on it, seems

Why did you stop?
It'd be stranger if you were a kid during that era and DIDN'T run in slow motion while making the noise. ;) My relationship with my first 'girlfriend' (in kindergarten) was based entirely on the fact that I
