    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!!

    Was Police Squad 80s? Does that be repeated on tv anywhere?
