Some older show intros

[Mister Andersen]

Starfleet (Nothing to do with Star Trek at all, ok? And the end credits rock even more)

OMG an anime in super-marionation!

That show pissed me off so much. The pilot was so amazing it kept me going through an entire season of serial-killer-of-the-week episodes, only to find the show reinvented in Season 2 as a bad-ass religious pre-apoc chronicle. Then they dumped that third year for a silly rehash of the X-Files and the show got canceled before their day counter ran out. Argh!

Just as well, I suppose. If the X-Files was any indication, Carter was making it up as he went along with both shows. If the counter had actually run down, I'm fairly certain it would have happened with no more cool than in the Spawn comic. Sigh.

I nominate this thread for Classic Status.

Done. Remind me once it dies down (if it dies down).

It would almost be criminal to include any show by Sid and Marty Kroft in a TV show standoff.

Shackle me up and throw me in the brig!

It made me remember another show that came on before or after "Land of the Lost" that was a science fiction show. The only thing I could recall is that the doors opened when you place your hand over a black panel and a red diamond would light up.

Was it part of the Kroft line-up?

More cheese (that's not Sid and Marty Kroft)
Great Space Coaster

Dude! Wow. I tip my imaginary hat to you, sir. That's a frakkin' find right there!

Shows that were just a little ahead of their time:

The Flash
Birds of Prey rwrrr!

I really liked both of these, for different reasons. Well, partly I liked them because they featured hot babes, but other than that I liked them for different reasons. The first was well crafted and tried really hard to do cool things with the source material, while the other was just odd. Parts of it were cool, but it never really figured out what it wanted to be.

Beauty and the Beast - I never watched this one, but it did have Ron Perlman and Linda Hamilton

I loved this show - all the way up to when they killed Linda Hamilton's character and it became a chase show. Then it kinda stank up the joint.

More I just remembered...

Tales of the Gold Monkey (the dog rules)
(plus the pilot movie opening)

How did we go five pages without MacGuyver?

Brimstone

Twin Peaks

Buck Rogers in the 25th Century (before the revamp)
(plus the one with the words, so Glen Larson could earn an extra royalty every time the music was used)
(and this weird Bond-style intro I never saw originally)
(and the one after the revamp, when Buck, Wilma, and Tweedy were joined by Hawkman on a starship called the Searcher, searching for... something, can't remember now)

Wonder Woman

The Incredible Hulk
(plus the Lonely Man theme)

and (shudder) Baywatch Nights (it's your run-of-the-mill bouncy bouncy beach show - with vampires!)

Parts of it were cool, but it never really figured out what it wanted to be.

The biggest problem I had with BoP is that they wanted to make it a Batshow without the Bat (thereby alienating a chunk of Bat fans who objected to his just sodding off), then used versions of the characters that most people weren't familiar with and which didn't ring true to the source material (especially Dinah).

They could have gotten a lot further with it by keeping the original premise of the Huntress (essentially a female version of the Golden Age Batman, the one who used lethal force), or if they were going for the Earth 2 version of character, made her the teen character of the trio (which given the age of Babs would have made more sense).

MacGyver was mentiond earlier on here....

Yes, the dog on Tales of The Gold Monkey does rule. ... We need another show set during that timeframe on TV right now.

[Forcegypsy]

Someone tell me if any of you recognize the shows I'm about to link. I don't know if they ever aired in the US or across the pond:

The Beachcombers this show had some of the best maritime chase scenes.

The Littlest Hobo...nevermind that he's a dog. His class is definitely Pointman.

Traders...Placeholder because I have yet to find the intro music.

[glimmerrat]

Wow, the Littlest Hobo. The theme music still makes me go all misty...

it was a spinoff of Jason of Star Command

I vaguely remember the later, except for Sid Haig's characer.

[Desertpuma]

I thought I had Misfits of Science up there... A very young Courtney Cox... like 20 years old.

Anyone remember the Saturday morning show that featured stuff you could "shoot" with a special gun you bought at stores?
