Following up on Dogget's original thread about 80's movies, how about television shows that are so 80s it hurts. Speaking mostly of people's haircuts and styles throughout. My first nomination...

I think what you meant to say was "So '80s it's Awesome!"

I suppose any of the hi-tech "Supervehicle" shows like "Knightrider", "Airwolf" and "Streethawk" would fit. I suppose that "Automan" with it's similarities to "Tron" would also be worthy of inclusion.

Automan! I thought this show was cool when it was on in the 80's, then SciFi showed sometime in the 90's and the acting in it was sheer crap. Neat concept for the time though.

TJ HOOKER is amazingly 80s...I love the way William Shatner can finish his shift, drive down to the local bar, sink a few whiskeys, then drive back home in his cop car, not even wearing a seatbelt! in fact there appears to be no seatbelt wearing by anyone in this show...

I missed most of the 80s tv, but wasn't there a show called "V" about an alien invasion. And also the pretty awful (well no need to qualify that really) Buck Rogers with Gil Gerrard was 80s, wasn't it?

Buck Rogers was sort of late 70s. Disco survived 500 years and a nuclear war, as I recall. :teddyr:

V was great. At least, the original miniseries was. Big TV event back when there were only so many channels to watch. The second miniseries was pretty good. The weekly series that followed didn't last long enough for me to have very many memories of it.

I don't know if V was particularly 80s in style, but it sure provided some talked-about moments, such as:
