I did my best to go through every 80's debut to pull out the Top 16 and ranked them 1-16 based on my own criteria. Seeds: 1. Magnum PI 2. MacGyver 3. Miami Vice 4. Star Trek: Next Gen 5. A-Team 6. Knight Rider 7. Airwolf 8. Quantum Leap 9. Greatest American Hero 10. Hunter 11. Simon & Simon 12. Remington Steele 13. The Fall Guy 14. Blue Thunder 15. Riptide 16. China Beach I may have left some off (Hill Street Blues, TJ Hooker, but I wanted to avoid the police drama genre) so this is what I came up with.. 1. One vote per username 2. Round 1 will last thru Sunday Round 1: (1) Magnum PI vs (16) China Beach (2) MacGyver vs (15) Riptide (3) Miami Vice vs (14) Blue Thunder (4) Star Trek: Next Gen vs (13) The Fall Guy (5) A-Team vs (12) Remington Steele (6) Knight Rider vs (11) Simon & Simon (7) Airwolf vs (10) Hunter (8) Quantum Leap vs (9) Greatest American Hero This post was edited on 11/29 at 6:08 pm

No way! NBC is representing hard. This post was edited on 11/29 at 3:49 pm

The only person to ever record two sacks in the same game. KNOWLEDGE.

Dana Delany had that thing going on back then. Her and that chick from Northern Exposure. Quantum Leap should have been made into a movie. This post was edited on 11/29 at 8:21 pm
