I downloaded them all last year. Took ages to find a torrent. What surprises me is no one has it available on DVD. It was a damned funny show.

Been happily working my way through the CHiPs boxed set and enjoying it all the way. I thought it may have spoiled my childhood memories but it didn't! Also then remembered about another fav called 240 Robert a spin off from CHiPs. All good stuff!!

I think Dukes of Hazzard has it in spades for me. It/I hasn't aged at all. Still like I remember it. BSG is still pretty good too. I still prefer it over the new series, I still think the old series was a little scarier and not as gratuitous.
Battle for the Planets has been a little disappointing, but I should watch more before I surrender really. An there is always Sledge;
I am going to make Sledge Hammer customs one of these days. Trust me, I know what I'm doing.

Brilliant Mark, I'll need to try and get Sledge as well. Loved the Car Sticker "I Love Violence!"

It gets so much better. Episodes like Dory day afternoon, Hammeroid, Witless and Sledgepoo The writer (Alan Spencer) was a huge fan of Marty Feldman and Andy Kaufman. It really shows, actually he was friends with both of these guys before their demise.
Highly recommended for anyone with a bent sense of Humour. I got the DVD imported from the US as soon as it was available. I'd go so far as to say its as good a comedy as Red Dwarf. Have a look at Alan Spencer's Youtube site, heaps of titbits.
