Some of you youngsters may not recognise any of those <cough> classics. They were all cheesy, but which one makes you cringe the most when you remember it? Which is the most unwatchable, now that the 80s are long-gone? What other corny gems have I missed out? |

Knight Rider was definately the cheesist. 
The only good part of the show was the car.

Sure, Knight Rider was cheesy, but have you people seen Automan? EGAD that was horrid. The guy's name was Otto, and he was some sort of super man. It was BAD and CHEESE-O-RIFFIC.

The fall guy with Lee Majors was pretty cheesy too.

I didnt like Airwolf='.'= The cheese-factor was high on that one, simply because of Jan-Michael Vincent. This guy is a horrible actor IMHO. He has a pleasant enough looking face, but his acting is almost as stiff as Chuck Norris in his laughable role as "Walker: Texas Ranger". Both of these guys look like they need to be put on Paxil or something. Lighten up Jan! Take a few pointers from David Hasselhoff on charisma!
Also, Airwolf was kinda thrown out suspiciously around the time of the success of the movie "Blue Thunder", about a man and his super-chopper. Just seemed kinda lame, I hate piggy-backed themes, leads to overload.
The A-Team, Knight Rider, and C.H.I.P.S. tho were a different story, I loved those shows!
Mess with Ponch and Jon, you mess with me!

I loved the a-team. The only "cheesy" thing was that BA could make a tank out of a lawnmower.

And if I recall correctly, no one ever died on the show.

The thing I like about the A-Team is that, back in the 80's, Murdoch seemed like a nutcase and BA was the cool guy who picked on him. Watching it now, it's clear that Murdoch was in fact just a mildly irritating Jim Carrey forerunner, and BA (with his constant shouting and jewelry and bizarre spandex) was actually utterly insane. IMHO, sucka! |

you crazy fool!
C.H.I.P.S. was pretty pants, although the theme tune was fun.
the entire A-teams shows were recently shown every weekday at 6pm, i found myself rush for the tube, just to make sure i didn't miss it. it isn't remotely cheesy, it is amazing (i was always BA when we played the a-team at school, and i was always chewbacca if we played starwars)
oh and strrethawk was poor beyond belief!
