o. my. god. I've been trying desperately to remember what that show was called for years. Loved it.

Yeah, just that particular post triggered something. Bit scary when I'm paying more attention to lcajmo than anyone else..

I mean, collecting tea spoons??? whats up with THAT??

Misfits of Science, Sledgehammer (Trust me i know what Im doing) Great times in front of yhe box.

Can anybody remember StreetHawk...Im sure it had Michael Dudikoff, in it, kinda like a Knight Rider ripoff but it was a bike instead of dirty talkin, car

Misfits of Science is the first show I remember thinking about how the show was made... realising their budget must've been drying up when after the first few episodes they started using their powers less and less. :)

It was also the first time I thought about actors in different shows, because Courtney Cox had been on Family Ties or something else... then I was amazed again when she showed up another few years down the track on Friends.

Re: Sledgehammer I will never, ever forget the line where he has to go undercover in a hair salon and finally can't take it and lays into everyone: "I'M A NIHILIST, NOT A STYLIST!"

Im talkin bout Jem and the Holograns by the way...i fucked up the reply....

Toys = shit that's cool, thats how.

Smuggler, Lost Island, i can remember them clearly. But Secret Valley doesnt ring a bell...what year/s did it show???

Oh once there was a wealthy man
Who had a great idea
To bring children from all places
With all kinds of faces
Together on a sailing ship
To sail the seven seas
.....
.....
But hiding in the bushes
Were a watchful pair of eyes
And living in the valley
Were people lost in time
Ruled over by a tyrant
Whose face was in a mask
The children must defeat him
So they can escape at last
From the Lost Islands
The Lost Iiiiiiiislands

(oh my stars my memory scares me sometimes. If only I could use my powers for good and not evil)

tyrant, whose face was in a mask ... aaargh! i still remember that damned tune. it's was always taking up that critical space i needed when i was trying to remember where i put my keys.

actually that's kinda funny, if you think of it in a Robert Winston 'Brain' documentary kinda way. trying to remember where keys are - sudden explosion of 'Lost Island' theme tune. sounds like a Farrelly Brothers film to me.

82/83 i was far too young to remember what was on TV all i can remember from then was being taken to hospital to see my newborn sister.

Dave Dobbyn wrote the theme tune "Space Junk", the show was called Space Knights.

space knights was cool

Oh-mi-god YES! I had tor ead the books of the series when iwa s teazcher aiding a few years ago ... man, stuff form our day, still being used by kid's ttoday ... but o course they had NO idea how cooool it was on tv!
lol :op

was it gillagins island? i dont even know if that how u spell it :S

I like The Halfmen of O series better though.

Also, Jimi, the reason you make that association is simple: you've been smoking crack again!

my third form science teacher was actually a lot like that guy....except he also made little roleplaying game models in his lunch hour. . . .

Playschool was a timeless favorite of mine. I used to love Rawiri and Jackie.

The snorks - yeeup they take me back a couple of decades.
