Manimal, Automan (I got his autograph at a car show once LOL), Misfits of Science (not 100% sure on this name), Whiz Kids, gosh too many to name in this space...some I can' t remember the titles to though, one about a reclusive scientist and his secretary/assistant who solve crimes, set in desert in US Arizona or someplace. I remember one episode in particular where all the kids in a neighborhood got ahold of subliminal control stuff and had control of their parents. Parker Stevenson starred in it. Got any other oldie but (short-lived) goodies?

Highway Man, in the vein of Automan and Knight Rider. Stared Sam Jones from the 1980 Flash Gordon movie. Was a huge 18 wheeler who's cab could come out and become a helocopter. Was a tv movie that become a tv series for a year, loved it. Was all campy and good and neat. Who doesn't love futuristic big rigs with truckers fighting for truth and freedome?

Normal Life with Cindy Williams, and Moon Unit and Dweezil Zappa. Also, I loved when Jane Leeves was Blue on Throb. And The Young Ones, also anything that used to be on Nickelodeon, like You Can't Do That On Television and Turkey TV, which was so ahead of its time. I met comedienne Judy Tenuta (from Evening At The Improv!!) at the Tulsa Comedy Club and was so excited.

I remember watching this 80s show called "Riptide"---Three vietnam veterans (Nick Ryder, Cody Allen and Murray Bozinsky) now work as private eyes in sunny southern California. Nick and Cody are the muscles and Murray is a computer wizard of the trio and together they solve even the hardest cases (1984). Wow...that was a loooooong time ago........

Hey, I remember the one about the nun and the priest who solved crimes- that was Father Dowling Mysteries. As a little Catholic kid in the 80's I really liked that one :)

Jeff Goldblooms first anything, it was with Ben Vereen, called
(something) And Gumshoe". Plot sucked , the guys were a riot!
Same story with Richard Bengamins "Space Trash". FUNNY! no plot. Had Playboy bunny twins in it. The ship was cool, the "special effects" horrid! It could have been fixed.
OH! Jim Hensons "The Storyteller"! Still one of the best shows to have ever been! See it if you can!

Oh shoot, how about 21 Jump Street. There was also one about a nun and a priest that solved crimes. I can't remember the name of it though.
