Oh man...1984...I was a freshman at Satsuma High School here in Satsuma Alabama. Air Wolf Rip Tide Blue Thunder Night Court I loved all these shows.. THANKS FOR A TRIP DOWN MEMORY LANE in 1984!!!
"Masquerade" had one of the best intros of any crappy short-lived show. The great Crystal Gayle vocals and glossy visuals were as close as TV came to a James Bond movie intro.
1984..maybe 83 was the point when I began to remember things vividly. I remember a number of these shows as a little kid. Automan now that one I don't remember..I think I would have thought it was cool at the time..it reminds me of the movie Tron.
Apparently if you want the complete series on DVD you have to get it from Canada. Was very popular here, the CBC aired it daily if i can recall correctly.
He also sings in a particularly campy Wonder Woman episode from 77 where he plays a superstar rocker who's gimmick is flute solos (?) that hypnotize people
Night Court intro is from season 2 (Markie Post, Florence Halop, Mac), it should be Ellen Foley, Selma Diamond, and Karen Austin as the recorder or whatever Mac's job was.
That theme song for "The Master" sounded awfully familiar to me, and I figured out why. It's Bill Conti doing a remix of his "Ski Chase" theme from "For Your Eyes Only."
For Season 1, it was Harry Anderson, Karen Austin, John Larroquette, Richard Moll, Gail Strickland (Pilot), Paula Kelly and Selma Diamond. Then in Season 2, Austin left and was replaced with Charles Robinson as Mac Robinson who remained for the rest of the series and Ellen Foley appeared in Season 2 while Markie Post appeared as a guest star in Season 2.
18:54 And the Sagal twins are the daughters of director Boris Sagal (1971 Omega man) and the younger sisters of Katey Sagal (Married with Children & Sons of Anarchy)
I totally forgot about the pre-SNL Dana Carvey being in the forgettable Blue Thunder (which btw was a disgrace compared to the very good movie version as was the silly rip-off Airwolf.) On the other hand, Mike Hammer was actually a good show.
"Double Trouble" would become revamped and start the fall 1984 season with the twins in New York City staying with their aunt Margo. The opening was changed to a jazzy theme with shots of the city.
I have been binge watching the hell out of it since Harry died. (Still hard to say that) It's been one of my faves since I was a 4 year old kid back in 91. Funny as all get out and that theme song is glorious.

i wish somebody would try to revive airwolf!! knight rider a-team mcgyver and alotta the 80s action series have all been brought back as either a movie or tv show!!
Not to be, y'know, *that* guy, but you used the Night Court credits from a later season. Charles Robinson didn't join the show 'til the second season, and Markie Post didn't join 'til the third.
my guess is they were aiming for the Cast Everyone s familiar with ... or simply couldn't find the original (which if thay had would generate a lot of "who are Those People"/"where are Mac & Christine")
Real cream of the CRAP from 1984. The only exception was Airwolf, it was a great show. Also, both Automan & Masquerade didn't last long, since they weren't considered trashy enough.
One of these shows was a feature in Mystery Science Theater 3000(MST3K). It was Master Ninja that was a repackage of 2 episodes of the Master made into a movie.
I was looking up the Sagal sisters and came across their father...I had no idea he was an actor too and perished in an awful decapitation on set while filming a miniseries ( by a helicopter)😮
Mike Hammer was the diamond of the whole bunch. I remebered that show and I was left hearbroken when it only aired few chapters. T. V. Executives had their heads deep in their rear.
After "Blue Thunder: The Series" failed miserably, the legendary talents of Ray Stark who went back to co-producing "Ripley's Believe It or Not!" (1981-1986) for six memorable seasons on ABC. Then he moved up from producing to consulting in this revival edition on TBS (1986-2003). But he's got even more success as a producer in a string of TV movies and even one long-running television sitcom was BET's revival edition of "Out All Night" between seasons two (1993-1994) and nine (2000-2001) for NBC Studios and Sony Pictures Television. There were many changes: Simon O'Brien was fired after its first season and so did the writers, producers, directors and crew members too. But nobody understands why it did happen at NBC in the first place, because the ratings weren't doing too well. A year later they took the series to BET for a fresh start, according to Norman Lear, chairman and CEO of Act III. Alan Haymon and Andrew Meyer as exec producers, Morris Chestnut, Vivica A. Fox Duane Martin and Patricia Fass Palmer as producers and MaryKay Powell as co-producer. Several new cast and crew members were all hired for a lot of reasons: to make a show like BET's "Out All Night" work. And it did great.
I forgot that so many of these shows were all mid season replacements/premieres. Everything that premiered the fall of 1983 (the first half of the 1983-1984 tv season) was so horrible on NBC NONE of those shows got a second season. Meanwhile.. two thirds of these got at least three seasons...
That's interesting, especially considering that this was essentially the eve of NBC becoming the Number One television network, anchored by its Thursday evening lineup. Of course, NBC would benefit from the fact that a number of programs either had recently ended or were ending their runs on ABC and CBS at this same time.
@@thomash.schwed3662 , that also has a lot to do with NBC doing a house cleaning of major proportions among their executives. This was an accumulation of multiple factors, and this was in no way the only time there were large numbers of cancellations on NBC. It was this particular season, where, as I said, not a single first run series that season was renewed, that they finally got rid of those who were the cause. The late 1970s, especially contributed as the same executives were responsible. Again, NBC did turn it around.. but it was because of innovative shows like _Cheers_ (one of the shows that was in its second season that year..) and _Night Court_ which came in as a mid season replacement.
Trivia from Wikipedia: Foley gained high public recognition singing the duet with Meat Loaf on the hit single "Paradise by the Dashboard Light" from the 1977
I watched it during it's run. It was a fish-out-of-water story that got old kind of fast. Especially, because Automan could kind of do anything. So there was no tension and everything worked out really easily.
The show should've been amazing! But it was when I realized even as a teen that there were hack writers in Hollywood who were completely out of touch with the times who probably got and kept jobs because they knew so-and-so.
That's how I felt about Misfits of Science, which I believe premiered in the Fall of 1984. And StreetHawk. And Sledgehammer. And Hull High. And Eerie Indiana.
Holy Shit I did a quadruple-take when I saw Dana Carvey's name in Blue Thunder!!! The Master was a horrible show. MST3K ripped apart the film Master Ninja which comprises the first two episodes.

No
Depends on what and where you're watching. A whole lot more choices than what used to be.

she guest-starred
during a transitional time,
then later returned for good.
Airwolf... Riptide... Blue Thunder... The Master... back when network TV had action shows.
Flinging a bunch of crap against the wall and hoping one or two shows stick is the way it's been done for decades.
That theme song for "The Master" sounded awfully familiar to me, and I figured out why. It's Bill Conti doing a remix of his "Ski Chase" theme from "For Your Eyes Only."
Markie Post was only on Night Court starting in season 3, though... I wonder what the opening of the show looked like in 1984.
