Automan and Manimal was the T.V shows that myself and my neighbours enjoyed as kids. 😎😎

Who remembers "Hardcastle and McCormick"? Loved that show, and the car 🙂

The 80s was just a magical time. It's hard to explain to kids born in the last 25 years but the excitement of seeing your shows every week with your family was something I will always remember.

I can't remember a single episode of The Greatest American Hero, but i can sing the song intro with no problem 😂 Thanks for this wonderful piece of nostalgia of my youth

The greatest American hero was my favorite TV show when I was growing up and I still love it now.

[joelpineda]

Nah. Greatest American Hero has NEVER been forgotten. At least not for me. Sure watching it today it wud b kind of corny to some but to an 8 yr old back then it was nothing short of magical.

Misfits of Science was one of my fav programs back in the 80's, surprised it only lasted for one season.

[colindias]

Any one remember moonlighting .. Bruce Willis..when he wasn't so famous yet. . Singing I'm a soul man ..❤ ..oh the 80s ..

[montyperkins]

OMG! I feel so old. I remember most of these shows. Greatest American hero was my favorite.

[robertjames-life]

Some of these are great and shouldn’t be forgotten, several deserve to be forgotten.

[vannersp]

Thanks, I've been trying to remember Misfits of Science for years.

[dandeloge]

I adored Misfits Of Science, but all of these shows were my childhood. Would be nice to have one day to go back and enjoy just one 80s day as a kid.

Tales of the Golden Monkey... I haven't thought about that since I was a kid. When I was in HS, I couldn't figure out it's name no matter who I asked. Everyone thought I had made that show up... virtually no one saw it. Even people on BBSs couldn't help me ID this show (that was before the internet). So glad to finally have a name to it.

Simon and Simon, The Fall guy, Falcon Crest, Amazing Stories, TJ Hooker, Fantasy Island, Air Wolf 👍

[mattp]

I've got Believe It Or Not in my playlist to this day. Not forgotten!

[CandaceTalley-tkjd]

That is my favorite show The greatest American hero I miss watching that 😢😢

[QuetzalcoatlOdin]

The Greatest American Hero,
Is not forgotten and an awesome show. An updated version would be great if done well.

[ninjamaster]

I used to watch Automan and Manimal, and for years tried to remember their names.
I googled both of them ages ago and found Automan, but no matter what i typed, i couldn't find Manimal.
Thank you for showing me this and reminding me.

Some good ones in there that I had forgotten about. My sister lived out of this world. Any fans of the show Sledgehammer?
