Automan - Sort of "TRON" like, with an electronic cursor that transformed his car into a helicopter.
Manimal - He was a magician that could transform into animals.
Bring 'em back alive - Like "Indianna Jones" but a series.
Streethawk - Cool superfast motorcycle vigalante.
Hardcastle and McCormack - Sort of cop/lawyer thing.
What did you think of them?

Auto man was Rubbish, really bad special effects but that was part of the charm and the car cornered at right angles without slowing down. would be a bit rubbish on any normal road.
Manimal, couldnt he turn into a panther or an eagle and a otter if he had an epeleptic fit and every episode was the same. Baddies steal somthing, Manimal tranforms into animal, finds baddies etc
Street Hawk was a cripple on a Chaved up moped with lots of plastic and he had a freind with glasses and a big computer, didnt he always used to pull wheelies, and again every episode was the same. Baddies do somthing bad, Streethawk gets on moped finds baddies and stops them by perfoming wheelies, police arrive and wonder who Streethawk is?
Hardcastle and Mcormack, Who? I must have missed them (thank god)

Do not remember Automan
Manimal was pretty good, but they needed better writers as they ran out of ideas for the show.
Do not remember Bring 'em back alive
Streethawk was ok. Not real good but not bad. The bike was the best part of the show
Hardcastle and McCormack was the best. It should have lasted longer but poor decisions by NBC executives and the health of Brian Keith kept if from being on the air longer.

Heard of Manimal but never watched it. I remember Hardcastle and McCormack - if I remember it had Brian Keith - was he a lawyer or a retired judge - something like that, and the younger guy who was the sidekick and got beaten up all the time - that's what younger sidekicks are for. :-)
The others I don't know. I didn't watch a lot of TV in the 80s - too busy running around! ;-)

Heard of them all but only watched (for a short while) the Hardcastle and McCormack... only because I was into cop shows at that time.
I used to watch other things like Punky Brewster, The Powers of Mathew Star, KnightRider, Battlestar Galactica (reruns), etc.

Automan was okay, Streethawk was cool, I always like Brian Keith as an actor so Hadcastle & McCormack was my favorite. Never heard of the other two.

Of those, the only 'cool' one was Automan. That was awesome. And that car??? Too. Cool.

Never heard of any others (were they US?) but streethawk was the mutts nuts.
Looking back now, my bmx made a poor substitute, but when I shoved a plastic juice carton in the back brake. I WAS streethawk, I could jump further, ride faster, and my imaginary rocket launchers took no prisoners!
