Hi gang, sorry I haven't had much time to get on the forum lately. Anyway, I do vaguely recall seeing one of those Corgi T.C. helicopters a long time ago (well over 10 years) when I first ventured onto e-bay. I'm not sure if I remember correctly, but I think etrl also made a Magnum Ferarri with 'Mag...

Although MPI is a classic series, I was mostly very disappointed with the DVDs, and the lack of extras (especially when considering how many extras many lesser shows get). It started shakily when the music for 'China Doll' was out of sync (six different copies from different sources, and still don't...

This is great news. I have fond memories of watching this on Monday evenings with my father. It has never been repeated, so I could never make recordings, until a couple of years ago where I bought off-air recordings from a TV fan site. Sadly, most of the episodes were terrible quality and barely wa...

Haha, it sounded harsh, but it's true.


Anyway, an interesting idea, but as with many other posters, I'd rather see what the gang are up to in the present day.

Commandress and Jay, where is "Two birds.." on your list?! I know, I know it´s so bad,you simply forgot about it :wink: 'Two Birds...' isn't so great, but surprisingly, I found my 10 even worse. :) I'm not sure I could fill out a list of Ten Worst Episodes. That seems wrong on so many levels. I get...

'One Picture is Worth' is indeed the first example, but you might also be thinking of season 8's 'Pleasure Principal'.

Bottom 10 episodes (as in, the worst!)

I know there is already a thread on the single worst episode, but after starting the '10 Best' thread, I felt like compiling a 'Bottom 10'. Again, 10, not more, no llong ists :lol: . Seasons in brackets (1 is worst, BTW) 1. ' THIS ISLAND ISN'T BIG ENOUGH... ' (6) - The single worst episode of MPI in...

There's already a thread on this IIRC. They were just going for a different feel in the early episode. Then mid-season, as the show found it's feet, they went in a slightly different direction. Also, James, there are a couple missing from that list. I think I compiled a list in one of my reviews, I'...

Damn, I was going through the whole series and was around the fifth season when this thread first popped up. I should have got it, DAMMIT.

Season seven if definatly the best of the 'second half of the show' (seasons 5-8 ), it does indeed have some quality stories, but at the same time it does have moments when the show feels decidely tired, and lacking the shine and sheer excitement of earlier seasons. Season five is my personal least ...

Maybe that's why I like 'Mac's Back' so much. Nothing like the terrible things experienced by other folks, but it was the middle of the night, I was awake with depression and various psychological conditions (that makes me sound really messed up!) and watched 'Mac's Back' which I had set my timer fo...

This series is now run here in the UK on Freeview channel Fiver (or is it Five US? Can never tell the two apart). It's terrible. I can't relate to any of the leads, K.I.T.T. sounds positively evil, they've tried to stick "modern music" in just cos other shows do it, to appeal to "the kids", and the ...
