Rob, can you download the first and last episodes, then record a commentary and forward to all of us? I think that’s the right thing to do, since you brought the shit up and got everyone in a huge uproar about it.
“Hurts like death”? You’re on a roll today!!
I just can’t really remember, so I had to look it up. The “final” episode really wasn’t supposed to be a final episode. When he leaps out, the screen fades to black. The picture I was talking about wasn’t during the first leap, it was supposed to be a shot of a young Al with Sam. The creator said that it wasn’t meant to be taken that Sam was dead, but that he continued to “put right what went wrong” or whatever. Apparently I just wasn’t paying attention.
It was a cheesy damn show along with all the other crappy shows youse guys brought up.
This is the most I’ve heard people talk about quantum leap in years. 😀

This is the most this site has been used in years… coincidence? Probably. Sexy as hell? Not really. Will I tell the story different tomorrow? You’re damn right I will.
Tomorrow when recalling this will be an epic thread about how 80s TV rules your cerebellum, and how simply talking about make the panties come off, the boobs bounce and cats fly. People will look at my suspiciously as if I am full of shit, or got caught putting ball prints on their monitors again. I’ll just smile and proclaim it a great deal for all man kind, and suggest that they, or an acceptably hot replacement service my manhood while I reflect. Or I’ll just ask them if they can get the fuck out of my way so that I can get a coke out of the refrigerator… it’s situational. You have to be flexible. You can’t force conversations like this.

All this planning and no mention of Chariots of Fire playing in the background?

Anybody remember that crap show “nightmare on Elm Street the TV show”
I remember that one. There was a Friday the 13th one, too. They were both pretty sorry but the elm street one at least had scantily clad female lady people in it.

I didn’t like any of the stupid helicopter shows.
What about the good helicopter shows? Like Airwolf? That movie and the first season was some pretty dark shit. I don’t think us kids were supposed to watch it.

There was an Airwolf movie? I think you may have Blue Thunder confused with Airwolf… Airwolf was kinda campy and typical 80s not quite a cop going after the badguys… like Hardcastle and McCormick, Magnum PI and those. Blue Thunder was much more edgy as a TV show, and the movie was as well. Roy Sheider had those scenes where he was keeping himself sharp by seeing if he could still judge a minute of time passing exactly with his eyes closed.

Yeah, there wasn’t an official Airwolf movie but as a kid I got into the habit of thinking the pilot episode as the movie. And I remember that episode especially being much darker than anything in Blue Thunder. There’s a scene that scarred me as a kid where the girl is left to die spreadeagle, staked to the ground in the middle of the desert. When Hawke finds her she’s still alive but fatally dehydrated and her skin is blistered from hours in the desert sun.
Airwolf did get campier and became a more “family” conventional cheesy 80s action show in the second season, but I think in the first it was much darker than Magnum PI and the like, following a haunted war vet who’s tortured by thoughts of his brother missing in action somewhere in Vietnam. And it was about international espionage and black ops, rather than the regular cops and robbers type stuff.
We must have watched the Blue Thunder TV series too, but I only have memories of the Roy Scheider movie. It was kind of like the domestic version of super-helicopter stories, whereas Airwolf had an international scope. I do remember it being dark too, understandable since the protagonist was also a Vietnam war vet I guess, but the abiding memory is of them using superzoom or x-ray vision or something to watch a girl get undressed in her apartment as they hover in stealth mode. Compared to the abiding image I have in my mind of Airwolf Blue Thunder seemed like a kid’s movie.
But as much as I loved the sleek fighter jets and choppers I still loved the Screaming Mimi from Riptide and Cutter’s Goose from Tales Of The Gold Monkey even more for some reason. Just like how my favourite movie boat isn’t one of the zippy speedboats out of Miami Vice or a Bond movie, it’s the Belafonte from The Life Aquatic. Maybe it’s the same reason I prefer the Millenium Falcon to x-wings and tie-fighters. I like the big ugly ships the best.
