Some great memories there. Chips followed by A-Team set me up for manys a saturday cycling around on me chopper bike with me mates and jumping off things that were "exploding" A-Team style.

Obviously a few other crackers of shows there too, I tried introducing my nephew to the A-Team last year, but he wasnt buying into the idea at all, kids these days with their i-box 365s and their Xpods, what do they know eh?

*PS i have the freaking miami vice intro music stuck in my head now too...........

Matlock...........wow! Had forgotten about that, there was me thinking I didnt watch that much tv when I was young!!
What about Quantam Leap? Its probably early 90s though!!

No Stingray with Nick Mancuso driving around in a black Stingray car helping people out and asking for "favours" in return instead of payment (sounds kinda pervy when I read that back...) Anyway, it was a bit like the equalizer...

The A-Team was one that I never ever missed. I still remember the boy at the end reeling the paper of his typewriter.

Baywatch was also a favourite.
