MacGyver
Airwolf (Stunning music) :P

I believe that I have never seen The Professionals, is not perhaps showed in here or then I have just missed (forgotted) it completely. Anyway I did watch intro scene now and it does not ring bell at all :P

If you get chance to see a DVD I would definitely recommend it!






As well as Knight Rider and Miami Vice, I was (/ am) also a big fan of Starsky and Hutch :oops:

Ah, the white Gran Torino with the red paint over the top. Classic! I was once very tempted to paint a white stripe on my red 340, but wasn't sure if the average man on the street would realise that it was a joke...

Not really a 'show' as such (was a multi part drama),

'Edge of Darkness' (Bob Peck, Joe Don Baker, Joanne Whalley) from 1986.

Absolutely brilliant !!! (bet no-one else remembers it though).

Also - In priority - 'Space Above and Beyond', 'Startrek DS9', 'ST Voyager',

Mac.

life on mars was great apart from the cock up with the cortina ,
they used a 76 2000E and changed the grille for the twin headlight set up to make it look like a 73 2000GXL, shame the interior was pure 2000E
