McGvyer, definitely, the man was a genius, who could save the world with a typewriter ribbon, a pipe cleaner and a lighter. ya cant beat the A-Team though... if your talking kids programmes, Wanderly Wagon and Fortycoats!

Has to be the cartoons! Ghostbusters, Dangermouse, Mysterious Cities of Gold, those cartoons showing the workings of the human body (loved those!).

Also, anyboyd remember Knightmare? Classic show with three kids guiding a friend through a computer maze with goblins and trape. Brilliant stuff.

What about Dallas. Surely Dallas was not only the greatest 80's TV show but one of the best shows of all time.

Transformers
Robots in disguise

Neighbours
It was good then like.


Battlestar Galatica

and that New Zealand thing, i think it was called
Going round the twist




actually now that i think of it, what was the show, with puppets with charactes such as "WOOLY THE WONDER SHEEP", "DAVID COLEMOLE" and the main character was a crocodile?

GWA,

i just remembered that 'round the twist show'.
was that the australian thing where they lived in the lighthouse and all the weird stuff went on. kind of like 'the twilight zone' for the young and innocent.

and 'wooly the wonder sheep' was on 'round the bend', which was a half hour show that made up part of 'Pajo's junkbox". and it was only class.

Bring back Spitting Image I say!.............

The A-Team remains the master of the 80's even after having gone through all the others mentioned. Having seen the last Pic, "What Ya Takin' 'Bout Willis?" will always be a classic.
