Most of these were short-lived (for good reason), but they were initially successful enough to be exported from the US to Britain. There's one or two good 'uns, but most of 'em stank like a dead skunk. If anyone can remember the names of the untitled ones I've marked I'd be grateful.....
1.
Manimal.
2.
Tales of the Gold Monkey.
3.
Bring 'em Back Alive (starred Bruce Boxleitner, post-
Tron).

The Scarecrow & Mrs King (starred Bruce and the really foxy one out of
Charlie's Angels).
5.
Charlie's Angels.
6.
St. Elsewhere.
7.
Starsky & Hutch (my very first "favourite TV show", which they're apparently now making into a film).

10. That one with the glamorous female photographer, her hunky male model, and the adventures they have investigating stuff together (it had Bonnie Tyler singing "I Need a Hero" as the theme tune). ?(
11. Again, I can't remember the name, but it was another weird-duo-investigate-stuff show, and one of the characters was supposed to be computer-generated (and he had a little sparkly Tinkerbell-esque assistant called Cursor floating around, and the car he drove took corners at right angles). ?(
12.
T J Hooker.
13.
The Fall Guy.
14.
Battlestar Galactica.
