Favorite Live-action shows from your past?

Postby rocklobster » Mon Jan 14, 2013 4:38 am

I saw an ad on hulu where they're now putting shows from the 80's on. They have stuff like Airwolf, Magnum PI and Knight Rider. So, what live-action shows were favorites from your childhood? I remember I used to love the A-team, Alf, You Can't Do That on TV, and Star Trek TNG. In fact, I'm seriously considering reliving Quantum Leap on Netflix in order to watch the episodes I missed.

A lot of these shows have been on Hulu for a while, actually.
My personal favorite is Remington Steele. The show was not from my childhood, though, more just like something I discovered because young Pierce Brosnan is classy.
There's also the original Star Trek (yay!), but it's only available for Hulu+ members. :<

Does Hulu and Netflix have all the eps of Quantum Leap? Bout a year ago, they only had most of the eps of QL, so that Netflix could make you sign up for the DVD's.

Power Rangers. It's pretty much the only non-cartoon show I watched as a kid.

It's Robin Hood. I didn't watch it while it was actually on the air, but I did pick it up later at my library and burned through the first season fairly fast.

All the Star Trek from the 80's and 90's: TNG, DS9, and Voyager.
Also, Home Improvement and The Cosby Show.
And Babylon 5. Man, I loved Babylon 5 when I was a kid. But probably not as much as Voyager. I don't care if everyone says it was awful, I loved it. It will always have a special nostalgic place in my heart.

Yuki-Anne: DS9 and Babylon 5 ftw!

Especially earlier episode of B5. When everyone was still working to the advantage of therr own nation, to further their own people. It was refreshing to see geo er astro-politics in such a pure form.

Seasons 2 and 3 were the best by far.

I have many shows I enjoy that are "older" than my past, but since that's the topic, The Equalizer, Sledge Hammer!, Mission: Impossible '88, Law and Order, The A-Team and Mr. Belvedere are in my DVD rack.
