Gotta throw in 'Airwolf' up there with Knight Rider.  

Man, talk about a terrible show.  It was SO repetitive.  What kind of idiots were we?  I mean really.  Battlestar Galactica at least had some cool world concepts, and even occasionally good writing.  But shows like Airwolf...the networks must have just been convinced that everyone who watched TV was a complete moron.  (And I'm not sure they don't STILL think this.)

Yeah I even tried to play the cello like Stringfellow Hawk, but in my defense my dad was a chopper pilot for the army and Airwolf (the helo) rocked.

I could agree with home improvement.  But if I hear any Power Rangers I will be freakin sick.  Even as a kid that stuff was corny.  But Ghost Rider and VR Troopers were cool...

The first season of the Power Rangers, up to and including the Green Ranger. I don't care who you are, I enjoyed those times. Billy and "Zack" and Zordon and Alpha. Oh yeah. Totally.

I know, but I thought I would pitch in with a "when I was a kid compared to what I am now" meaning when I was a toddler...  Now I don't really watch TV, though.  I like Malcom in the Middle...

Power Rangers first series - past the introduction of the green ranger, but before they changed the Zords. That was cool, but after that it was Lame.

Oh, and Thunderbirds. I loved that. Massively good.

Yeah, but a majority of it was cr@p... I have the first episode on VHS somewhere because that was in a time when they were actually entertaining for a child's mind... but since the majority of it was cr@p, the whole series doesn't make the cut.
