Best 80s Action TV Series Challenge: Top 16 Bracket
Posted on 11/29/12 at 3:23 pm
Posted on 11/29/12 at 3:23 pm
The 80's had a shitload of popcorn style action shows.
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

Airwolf falls due to overall shittiness of later seasons.

You can't do 8v9, that's not fair to time travelers or super heroes.

I love STNG but I can't put it over The Fall guy in the category of 80's action TV shows. No way!
NBC is representing hard.

I tried to base seeds on longevity/syndication after the show ended.
1-8 had 5-9 year runs and are still in syndication on some channels. 9-16 didn't do much via syndication after they were done.

Im 26, and have never watched any of these shows
I'm pulling for Hunter though because of Fred Dryer. The only person to ever record two sacks in the same game. KNOWLEDGE.

Manum PI is the obvious winner of this tournament, even if you are gay.

No need for a bracket. We all know Magnum PI wins.

China Beach was a great show. 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.
