When these were on air first time around, which did you think was cooler -

The A Team or Knight Rider?

Answers for how you felt in the 80's, not now with hindsight or irony. The reason I'm asking such a stupid myspace-like question is that i have a theroy that the rough, poor kids liked A Team while middle class children such as myself prefered the more cerebral Knight Rider. Perhaps as well as answering you could just add how much your parents earned in 1983, or if your clothes were 1st generation hand-me-downs from your sister or tatty 6th generation 1930's Pigpen rags.

I might add Airwolf, Automan, Streethawk and Manimal, but I will not because they were all shit.

This is not a list.

People who were not of sentient age in 1983, you don't know what good telly is.

Knight rider has the most sack.
A-team has the most suck.
Shooting 10.00 bullets every show and nobody ever got hurt. Haha. Meh.

Glen A. Larson. Battlestar Galactica. Knight Industrial Two Thousand. Starbuck. Michael Knight. The cheap robot pet dog made in Hong Kong taking damage from Cylon lasers and its fur smoking. The red light going left-right-left-right-
reft-light-fret-flight until I drop. Both on K.I.T.T. and Cylon 5th class warriors. A-Team?

I would concur with this man's rambling post. BattleKnight GalacticRider was a fave of mine back in the day.

I watched both but of the 2 I liked the A-TEAM more. We were middle class . I like Sci-Fi more than those shows and was also a Battlestar veiwer.
My brother is hooked on the new Battlestar Galacttica series.

...exactly.

With far too much drinking to do during the prime time hours,
I found that I was more of an 'SNL' 'Night Flight' kinda guy.

Hated both. Preferred Six Million Dollar Man, Blakes 7, Dr. Who (John Pertwee and Tom Baker days) - very much a 70's and very early 80's TV kid

To be honest I was invariably out, so not much TV got watched. But if I had to pick one it'd be Dangermouse.

MacGuyver was awesome. Anyone who can build an alarm system with a paperclip gets my vote.

Anyone remembers CHIPS with Punch and Theotherguy?

Green Gilbert. Basically just a puppet on a saturday morning kids tv show in the 80's. The bloke who operated it got fired for turning up drunk all the time and blurting out random nonsense. Many complaints were made by irate parents for comments like: "Don't try this at home kids. But if you do, use a spear, and ram it through your little brothers head". Genius.
