Glad someone listed Automan. I looked forward to Thursday nights my freshman year of high school because this and Masquerade were on. The intro to Masquerade wasn't the greatest but I really liked the show.



A friend of mine got me into Tales of the Gold Monkey, too. This show had been trying to get on the air since the late 70s I think but network execs didn't think anyone would care about pulpy-type adventure stuff. Raiders of the Lost Ark made them change their tune real fast. Too bad this didn't last that long.



Voyagers was another one. I really liked the time-travel aspect of it. Real shame about Hexum.



Buck Rogers, too...man. Erin Gray.  :dreamer: :dreamer: :dreamer: :smitten:

(I know technically it started in 1979, but still.)

^I've never watched an episode of The A-Team.

And you call yourself a sci-fi fan...  :nerd:

rhetorical questions.  :P

I very, very sadly watched all those.  I'm pretty sure they're on a site somewhere. 

The first two, Automan and Manimal, I was very excited to see as a very young me.  NBC's new and brash head, Brandon Tartikoff had gone to great lengths to advertise for the new lineup with the hot new Sci-Fi shows as their anchor.  As a Sci-Fi starved kid, I tuned in excitedly after seeing all the ads. 

It was my first lesson in disappointment.  Kept me prepared for my life post 30.

Of those shows, I actually liked Automan. 

And heck yeah, I loved Buck Rogers.  You've got the wrong intro though...



For those that love Erin Grey, you're welcome.
