Thats it! I think I watched every show just to see that car.
I've found that to be true of several of the shows I watched as a kid.Used to love Knight Rider. Tried watching a few re-runs earlier this year, it was almost painful.
Yeah I know what you guys mean. It's painful to see those reruns.
And the semi-automatics were no M-16s. I can't come up with what they were, but I looked it up once. Easy to find. But I remember it wasn't Armelite.

I saw The A-Team and the Dukes of Hazard and the other usual stuff. One series really springs to mind and that was the BBC series "Colditz", about Oflag IV-C POW camp. My father watched it and I watched with him. Made a huge impact on my brother and me. I later bought the books written by Pat Reid and the book by Reinhard Eggers. Anybody knows if that series is on DVD available somewhere?
Easy question "The Twilight Zone"--my favorite of all- a Former SS prison guard is tormented by his dreams- his only relief is to visit the Louve, and view a painting of Jesus Christ rescuing some sailors caught in a malestorm-- then he would go to sleep, praying the Lord to "Put him in the picture"-- In other words, his prayers for salvation. When he awoke, he was "In The Picture" but the picture had been changed to the painting of the three crosses at Mount Goltha, and he was now the thief dying on the left of Jesus Christ. I have never forgotten that episode.Greetings ladies and gentlemen.
I have been talking with a friend of mine lately who now has a child. Through our... erhm... chit-chat, the conversation eventually ended up on the difference between the children shows of nowadays and the ones we had when we were kids.
And I was wondering, just for fun, what was your favorite TV show(s) when you were a kid ?
On my side, even though I liked Transformers, I must say my favorite one was certainly G.I. Joe... For some reasons my mother didn't want me to watch it... But I did anyways!
An other show I enjoyed watching when I was a kid (even though it only lasted two seasons, and even though I generally hate Anime (I think most of Anime shows are made by some kind of weird-ass perverts in Japan)) was Sous le signe des Mousquetaires. But somehow I think that show never got translated into English.
That last show was a special order by the gouvernment in the late 80s (story doesn't tell if it was the Japanese or French gouvernment) to introduce kids to French literature... And it worked out great for me ! It got me interrested in both French and English literature. (Alexandre Dumas was good but Shakespeare was better.) Although for the ones who read the book, there were a few differences between the TV show and the book. (I.E. In the book, Constance is Bonacieux's wife, while in the show she is his daughter... Guess the producers didn't want to put a love triangle affair in a show for kids. Or, in the TV show, Aramis is a girl who disguised herself into a man to accomplish a vengeance while in the book... Well, Aramis is a man.)

Anyway... What was your favorite TV show when you were a kid ?
Lamont Cranston and the sound of a creaking door opening- "The Shadow" indeed.To go slightly OT:
Ever listened to "The Mercury Theatre On The Air", "The Shadow" and "Campbell Playhouse" then?
I know that those shows are from the 30's, but they must have been rerun somehow, as they were recorded.
