Memory Lane.
Thanks to Damien Mulley for kicking this off!
Damien got me thinking about the shows I used to watch when I was young and can barely remember them... The one that got me thinking was his Manimal clip, reproduced here:
This immediately reminded me, for some reason of Alias Smith and Jones:
And then Sapphire and Steel popped into my head:
Which reminded me of the Greatest American Hero:
How could I forget Remington Steele:
But there were other shows I used to watch that I can't remember - just snippets in my head. One had a psychadelic intro of two guys falling through time and space or something...
Oh, and one of my favourites, though it used to scare me to death... The Incredible Hulk. I still ove it and have several of the TV movies and episodes on DVD!
update: Conor O'Neill left a comment on Damien's blog linking to this:
Which I would have said was the one I was thinking of above but there's no psychadelia... hmmm, I think it was two older guys anyway, I'm not sure it was a kid - but I think it was the same kind of premise. Anyone any ideas?
update: Worzel Gummidge used to scare the hell out of me.
update: Conor O'Neill to the rescue - in the comments here he suggested the show I was thinking of with the two guys falling through space and time was 'The Time Tunnel'. I think he's spot on. I couldn't find any clips exactly as I remembered, but this is close, the two guys are right and I remember the titles - also the 60s type psychadelic stuff I vaguely remember is in the background on the Wikipedia page Conor sent me to:

Time Tunnel?

Loved the car in Alias Smith and Jones and Greatest American Hero was the best ever. Still have that tune stuck in my head.
Has to be the Time Tunnel.
