    I was really surprised that Street Hawk wasn't mentioned.
    For those that don't know in the 1980's there was a run on futuristic superpowered miracle vehicles which gave us Knight Rider (car), Air Wolf and Blue Thunder (helicopter) and Street Hawk (motorbike).
    Street Hawk only ran for 14 episodes and was about Jesse Mach and and his super all terrain motorbike.

Unfortunately, the actor was a bit of a dick, just ignoring the group of about 10 fans that just happened to gather. Not so much as a "thank you for watching the show" statement.. turned me off the show, and it was canceled not long after.

    Literally nobody who was then alive has forgotten Greatest American Hero. But, I loved and well remember Danger Bay and Kids, Inc (and of course MASK). I’m always looking for Danger Bay, Our House, and Harcastle & McCormick (and Hawk and Spenser for Hire) to somehow make the digital transfer to streaming somewhere. Also, I’d add 3-2-1 Contact to this list.

    The thumbnail showed the stars of the Greatest American Hero and Automan. I never forgot either one of them. Both were broadcast in the 80s and both were about superheroes, except Automan was a professional holographic hero who never failed and Ralph Hinkley was almost a perfect superhero, but he lost the instructions that came with the suit. I was there to enjoy the original runs of both shows as I was born in the mid-70s.
