I've just finished watching ITV4's complete re-running of Magnum P.I.
It is surprisingly it didn't seem too dated, perhaps because Magnum always wore unfashionable Hawaiian shirts and Higgins was an anachronism even in period.
Higgins was always an annoying cliché. The actor was actually a Texan.It is surprisingly it didn't seem too dated, perhaps because Magnum always wore unfashionable Hawaiian shirts and Higgins was an anachronism even in period.

The 1975 to 1985 time frame.
I've been watching Buck Rogers in the 25th century, also watched the 1st 2 episodes of CHiPs
Buck, just as daft as it was back then, CHiPs, much better than I expected.
I recently tried to rewatch Buck Rogers, and it has not aged well. It was daft back in 78 (?) and even worse now.I've been watching Buck Rogers in the 25th century, also watched the 1st 2 episodes of CHiPs

Where did you find CHiPs? would like to watch that again
The original Battlestar Galactica has always held up well for being 30 years old

Now and then I dip into my collection of The Professionals. A bit crap, but surprisingly tough in places.
What was really good was The Sweeney... Really stood the test of time and the quality was excellent.
Not so good was Gerry Anderson's UFO, which I loved as a teenager. Some good episodes, but a lot of it was pretty ropey...

For Christmas I was given Miami Vice series one. The odd ropey bit but much better than I expected after seeing a few early episodes on TV over the years...
I seem to remember it got a little pretentious & disappeared up its own arse in season 2, but after that it was fine.Truckosaurus said:

I think it was a lot later than that. Season two or three went mega violent there were lots of complaints then they went all mystical and hippy dippy for a while also bad sonny Edited by Pesty on Monday 22 June 22:39

Magnum is one of the few US shows from that time that I can still watch. The stars and the writing, and the act that is was a tad meta, as a lot of US shows were back then.It is surprisingly it didn't seem too dated, perhaps because Magnum always wore unfashionable Hawaiian shirts and Higgins was an anachronism even in period.
