No. Some shows yes, though. I have grabbed a few episodes of Mork and Mindy since they are being reaired. -- nm - Spawn Sep 2, 11:04
I'd probably watch only RS, but would definitely watch Magnum PI. -- nm - Roger More Sep 2, 10:54 3
- what about the rockford files? -- nm - Beryllium Sep 2, 10:55 2
  - I am the ty97 of 70s/80s TV. In the Tasmania of yore, there were two TV channels, one in the north of the state and one in the south, and they didn't - Roger More Sep 2, 11:03 1
    - Ironically, one of the shows I watched in the 90s was called Taz-Mania. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 2, 11:05
No, but I would watch Six Million Dollar Man. -- nm - loosi in the sky with diamonds Sep 2, 10:47 9
- There are a bunch on youtube and the show....isn't quite what I remembered. -- nm - Remlik Sep 2, 10:50 8
  - That's because the average episode is 12 minutes of plot padded out with slo mo. -- nm - Reagen Sep 2, 11:10
  - Bionic Bigfoot was awesome! "Your arm is off!" "RRARRRRR!*" - TWuG Sep 2, 10:55 4
    - yeah that's solid, but man the 20 minutes before all that...ddddrrrrraaaaggggssssss -- nm - Remlik Sep 2, 10:56
    - agreed. Bionic Bigfoot scared the heck out of me. -- nm - Mel Profit Sep 2, 10:56 2
      - The tunnel thingee he walked through terrified and fascinated me. - TWuG Sep 2, 10:57 1
        
        As I have said, when I was 10 or 11 we went to the Universal Studios tour and the tram drove through it. Awesome. -- nm - Spawn Sep 2, 11:08
  - intersting. -- nm - loosi in the sky with diamonds Sep 2, 10:50 1
    - Bionic Woman is even worse. -- nm - Remlik Sep 2, 10:55
RS and return the others for Hardcastle and McCormick :) -- nm - Capstern Sep 2, 10:46
Nope -- nm - JaxSean Sep 2, 10:46
You listed Magnum PI in there so...sure. -- nm - Mel Profit Sep 2, 10:44 12
- Yes, I would watch MPI. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 2, 10:53
- I think MPI has the strongest draw for me to go back and review the series. It probably has the most backstory. -- nm - Max Sep 2, 10:47 10
  - It's one of the first series I remember with serialized content. Episodes stood on their own but there was mythology. - Mel Profit Sep 2, 10:49 9
    - Higgins: Robin Masters or not? - TWuG Sep 2, 10:52 6
      - After the 1st or second season I agree with the IM... - Remlik Sep 2, 10:55 1
        
        Your IM is probably right. - TWuG Sep 2, 10:59
      - Totally Yes. - Mel Profit Sep 2, 10:54
      - I think they revealed that he is - Beryllium Sep 2, 10:54 2
        
        He did say he was...until... - Remlik Sep 2, 10:58 1
        
        The admission, though, was made under threat of impending death, so I tend to believe that was the truth. -- nm - TWuG Sep 2, 11:00
    - it's dated....but it's so good that it still holds up -- nm - Remlik Sep 2, 10:51 1
      - one network shows reruns and I catch one here and there. It feels dated in that it's clearly from the 80s but it's held up so far. -- nm - Mel Profit Sep 2, 10:53
RS maybe -- nm - oblique Sep 2, 10:44
Yes, Hell Yes, No, No. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 2, 10:44
maybe Remington -- nm - Remlik Sep 2, 10:43
nooooope. -- nm - colin Sep 2, 10:43
[deleted]
no. -- nm - Diva Sep 2, 10:41
Maybe Remington Steele. - amoxy Sep 2, 10:40
Remingston Steele if it holds up, sure. -- nm - David Sep 2, 10:40 2
- I'm thinking RS doesn't hold up, but the mind goes into a state of allowance for era/quality. -- nm - Max Sep 2, 10:42 1
  - Yep. Lots of shows I grew up with are objectively awful. But I grew up with them so they are great. -- nm - TWuG Sep 2, 10:43
Yes, I would watch Charlie's Angels, Remington Steele and Love Boat. I'd pass on 8 is Enough. -- nm - TWuG Sep 2, 10:40
RS, yes. The others, likely not. -- nm - Reagen Sep 2, 10:40
doubt it. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 2, 10:39
