TV series that I forgot about

Street Hawk starring Rex Smith



Small Wonder



Dude!!! Freakin' Sledge Hammer!!!!




Tales of the Gold Monkey: Complete Series



I gotta find these on Netflix!!!!!!

I watched an episode of Small Wonder once, because someone told me it was the worst sitcom ever.

This was pretty much true.

I remember the first three. I was in love with the chick in Sledgehammer.

Small Wonder was putrid. The rest weren't too bad. Street Hawk was part of the super machine craze that was on tv at the time (along with Airwolf,Blue Thunder,Knight Rider and the like)

I should retitle this thread shows I am glad I forgot about!!!

There's one worse..... All I know is that "Moonbeams home in a jar..." was the theme song. She was an alien girl and had to hide it.

That would be "Out of This World," and you're right, it blows!

Right as I looked it up and found it to edit my post....

Out Of This World

street hawk!! I remember that one.

Good Lord... why would anybody go to the time and trouble to press "Small Wonder" onto DVDs?

Even more frightening, who would actually BUY "Small Wonder" on DVD?

That show was painful to the eyes!!

Things that make you go..... mmmmmm


There are some scary people out there!

I remember Tales of the Gold Monkey. That's the only one of those I watched.

i remember Small Wonder & Sledge Hammer. i liked the latter.

I can see them making a boxset of 'Sledge Hammer' that had a cult following but 'Small Wonder' and the rest, like Freddy said who would bother printing this? There cannot be a demand for this show? There are shows like 'NYPD Blue' and 'Superboy' ( that show was crap BTW) that actually had ratings that they only got to season 4 (Blue) and only one season of Superboy because they did not sell enough copies to bother issuing the rest of the seasons, let alone a show like 'Small Wonders' which was a complete flop.

Small Wonder is horrible, and here's proof.

I could not even make it thru the whole video, and it is barely over a minute.

I have no need to watch that - I believe you!!!!!!

Plus, I remember the show - it makes Full House seem like the greatest comedy ever!

I used to make lots of jokes with my brother that "small wonder" was about his, um, member - lol!

"Sledge Hammer" was great stuff. Very "Airplane"/"Naked Gun" influenced. I would totally buy that DVD.

I only vaguely remember "Tales of the Gold Monkey" but if memory serves it was a 1930s period/action show that was obviously inspired by the success of "Raiders of the Lost Ark." There was another show on around the same time (different network) called "Bring'em Back Alive" that was also "Raiders" inspired, based on real-life 1930s explorer/big game hunter Frank Buck. I don't think either of those shows made it to a 2nd season.

I guess just about ANY old piece of crap TV show can gather a cult following if you give it enough time... sheesh.

I'd like them to realease DARKROOM on dvd...it was a horror anthology hosted by James Coburn...only ran 1 season....good stuff!!

I also recall a show called CLIFFHANGERS....each episode had 4 15 minute stories that ended on a suspenseful note each week...it was crappy but one of the storylines involved a vampire I believe....

Sadly shiney I remember 'Cliffhangers' and that was also a steaming pile of turd, and I think that lasted a season.

I always liked Gold Monkey and Sledge Hammer(that was some funny smurf poo). I'm going to have to look up that Frank Buck show because it sounds like I might have watched it. I am a Max Headroom fan. The original movie was much darker than the TV series was.

I looked up "Bring "em Back Alvie" and it had Bruce Boxleitner from "Scarecrow And Mrs. King" and "Tron".

What about "Tenspeed And Brownshoe" Starring Jeff Goldblum and Ben Vereen?

Others:
"Hardcastle And McCormick"
"Riptide" (I think this one was like Simon & Simon)
"Baa Baa Black Sheep"
"The Paper Chase" (The guy who would be the Smith Barney spokesman was in this is all that I remember)

I remember Riptide,it was a decent show.It was kinda like Simon & Simon meet Miami Vice.The 80's brought us some real cheesy goodness.Some others I remember:

The Fall Guy
Greatest American Hero
The Renegades
