I need more "cheesy" 80's shows to watch!

[thekozmicpig]

Oooo...here's a good cheesy one that's been sort of lost to time.

Blue Thunder. It's like Knight Rider, except instead of a car it's a high tech helicopter.

Also Knight Rider cheesiness pro-tip: The cheesiness ramps up exponetionally in Season 2. You can almost tell when the show writers gave up on being serious.

Also I was thinking of Miami Vice, but there's some episodes that are actually really well done. And then there's that one UFO episode (Missing Hours) that's just...oi. Watch that one.

V is a mini series with a sequel and then a tv series. Start with the two minis and if u really like cheese watch the series.

Fame!!

Moonlighting - Bruce Willis and Cybill Shephard are a pair of private investigators. Lots of flirty tension, it's great.

Hart to Hart - Robert Wagner and Stefanie Powers are a fabulously fashionable couple who solve crime in a down to earth manner in the early 80s.  Great wardrobe and locations.

Hmm, well how about:

Miami Vice
Charlie's Angels (more of a late 70's, than 80's actually - but I think it aired to '81 or something...)
Starsky and Hutch (awesome! But this is a late 70's show - I think it aired to '79)

And, anyone heard of the french cartoon Shagma - Les Mondes Engloutis? I loved this as a kid - it is awesome! It is sci-fi, fantasy and cartoon all mixed together to a great kid TV-show that you will love even if you are thirty (which I am... ). It is in French though, but I'm sure you can find it with English sub-text (at least we had it with Norwegian sub-texts).

EDIT: I just googled it and it is called Spartakus and the Sun Beneath the Sea in English, and it seems like it was dubbed from French to English as well  I never seen the English version though, but I am sure it is just as awesome!

Here is a link to the English version of the theme song and show opening:

And this is my favorite song from the show - total awesomeness (this is in French and poor condition, but seriously guys - you just have to watch this!!)   And yes, I am a true '80s child...

One of the reasons I used to love spending the night with my Mammaw is that she had cable, and I could watch this.  And The Mysterious Cities of Gold.

For shows, I suggest The Fall Guy. The first season is avalable on DVD wor fairly cheap (I've got it). There is one episode up on Youtube from one of the other seasons: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1rChFJEh_ak

False edit: And now I discover someone uploaded S2 and 3 of the series last month   http://www.youtube.com/channel/UCiWAQA4Mza-QFdLJhaEycJA?feature=watch

I could go on and on with cartoons, but here's my #1 favorite of the 80's: Wildfire:

This is a playlist of all 13 episodes (3 parts each). If you like multi colored ponies, you'll like multi colored horses  .

Yay - another Shagma-fan!

What about Alien Nation? And Star Trek The Next Generation? Do those count as 80s? I remember watching them quite a bit when I was younger...

The Secret of NIMH is a good 80s animated film to watch...

[rybett]

Thank you for Alien Nation!!  I was thinking about that a few days ago and blanked the name. 

[Heartcease]

I am now going to have to go back and rewatch a bunch of shows.

[ember86]

How about Remington Steele?

[Kaeldre]

I'm never going to be at a loss for things to watch!

Very late 80's, but Saved by the Bell and then Jem and the Holograms.
