The greatest american hero was one of my favorite shows

Now here is an obscure one. What was the name of that show where this guy had thid thing called CURSER that changed in to a car, or a street bike. I loved that show!!!

 

I think that was Automan. How did they get that car to do 90 degree turns???

i forgot about that show..... I can still mumble the theme song... (never been with anything less than a nine...so fine...hay hay...

 

Talk about gay. The guy playing him was this blond with a perm. What a dork. I recall the premise of the show was this suite given to him by aliens, however, they forgot to leave the instruction manual.

 

90 degree turns are easy, can't your car do them?

 

ya..there was some old guy (who is now dead i think) who was sort of teaching him.????

wasn't mr hinkley a high school teacher in the show?

does anyone remember the show called THE MASTER with Lee Van Cleif... they drove around in a van and beat the shit out of people...saving the day that is....???

It was only on for one season..i think...

By the way, the woman that played April on Knight Rider also made an appearance on one of my other all time favorite 80's TV shows. . .

Matt Houston

She was in the episode where they tried to replace Matt with a guy that looked just like him (in order to take over his family fortune). . . In the episode, April was wearing only a nightgown (very revealing )

That show was great!! Matt Houston had more cameo appearance, by big name stars, than almost any other 80's TV show. . .

IMO, part of what made each of these shows great was their theme music. Everyone talks about the theme to "Friends", but I guarantee that almost everyone can hum the music to all of the shows that we've mentioned (and to a bunch we haven't). . .

Other shows that should be on the list. . .
Buck Rogers
Spencer for Hire
Blue Thunder
and does anyone remember Street Hawk? the short-lived motorcycle version of Knight Rider. . .

 

Almost forgot one of the most unforgettable 80's TV shows. . .

ChiPs

Erick Estrada and Larry Wilcox. . . You could always count on multiple car accidents with MAJOR explosions!!! and just as with the A-Team, virtually no one every died
