I have the Airwolf T-Shirt.
The Truck on Street Hawk's Pilot Episode looks like V.E.N.O.M.'s Dagger's 1980 Ford Bronco.
Thanks for this video recap of the Legendary childhood series memories.

You can't fool me. I know this compilation was made just to display a drawn out time lapse of the evolution of Dan's hair.

Only 10 min on Automan? So I guess it sucked? Or maybe it's because nobody was able to actually watch an episode of Automan before they made the video?
Tron was my favorite thing ever when I was 5 or 6. So I thought Automan was awesome because it was like Tron. But I don't remember any of the stories being nearly as interesting as Knight Rider or Airwolf or A-Team or even Hardcastle & McCormick. It felt more like Simon & Simon level entertainment.

you just listed my entire Friday and Saturday night watch list as a kid, and the reasons my father bought us a VCR so we could catch episodes that aired when we were on vacation in the summer lol

I just watched the old V recap video, just subscribed to this channel and now saved this 80s show compilation video to watch later.
Looking forward to more nostalgia! 🙂

Honestly the most surprising thing I got from this was that Go Nagai helped create a manga adaptation of V, I was not expecting his name to randomly pop up in this video lmao

Nobody wants Micheal to "hand off" to the next generation. They want the original TransAm KITT with Daniels voice coming out of mothballs. And it's either Hasselhoff or don't bother.

Personally have very little if no nostalgia for at least 90% of your content, but the way its presented keeps me coming back. Thanks for all the great work guys!
Edit: also, when can we get modern reboots of some of these shows? Some of the premises are perfect for our modern era

I had two of the original Burger King ALF puppets. Sadly they never survived. So I say they just blew up like Malmac.

Back when Friends was first on air, I always thought of Courtney Cox as 'that girl on Misfits of Science'.

It's really amazing how many classic 80s shows started with the phrase "NBC was in last place…". 😂

Wait… Glen A. Larson was responsible for the garbage that was Nightman?! He screwed up one of my favourite comic book characters?! 🤬
