Ah, the torment... how are you ever going to get over the days, the hours and the minutes involved in waiting for the Fed Ex van to arrive?

THEY HAVE ARRIVED!!! THEY HAVE ARRIVED!!!

The delivery guy turned up less than half an hour ago. I was just giving the discs a going over (inspection) to make sure they were all in good condition. Except for the dent in the Quantum Leap box which caused a crack in the case for season one everything is fine. It was the way the parcel was handled during delivery from the looks of things that caused the slight damage to the QL box. No big deal though the discs are fine and I can replace the case for season one myself.

Hoff... here I come!. I've not seen Knight Rider in about 25 years now. And it's been about 18 years or so since I've seen Quantum Leap. Even then I've never seen the whole of Knight Rider or Quantum Leap. They never showed the entire shows on the TV here in the UK back then for what ever reason. It was the same with V when it came out I never saw the whole thing due to it going off air as well. It was only through the boxsets that I've been given the chance to view it all and have those memories of my childhood come flooding back as I picture myself sitting there as a kid watching the shows for the first time ever and chatting with pals afterwards about the shows. I must have been about 7 or 8 when Knight Rider was shown on TV back then.

The 80s kicks ass every other era licks ass!

I have to ask. Is this going to be a Quantum Leap Marathon this weekend (no hate, just a little envy)? I might have to look into The Equalizer myself.

To be completely honest? I have no idea where to start. I've got The Hoff here (on 27 discs) and Quantum Leap (on 27 discs) and MacGyver (39 discs) so I am unable to make my mind up as to where to start. I might go the long haul with one show till it's done then move on. Another idea I have is jumping back and forth between shows so I can watch them all. That might be a bit stupid though. I might actually end up picking a show and just sticking with it till it's finished then move on to the next one.

From what Amazon is saying The Equalizer only has Season one on DVD at the moment. Season two isn't available until aroubd Feb 2012 or something like that. There are four seasons in all for The Equalizer. And like the rest of the shows when The Equalizer was on TV back in the day I don't think they ever aired the entire show. Just select episodes or one or two seasons at most.

I will probably have made my mind up by tonight which show I will start with. Since MacGyver has the most episodes apparently. I'll leave him till last. So it's between The Hoff and Quantum Leap.

I think it was season 4 of The Equalizer was when they added another person because Ed Woodward had a heart attack, so the other person did a lot the action scenes. That was when I started losing interest. The same with Knight Rider when they killed Edward Mulhare's character.

Racing is life... anything else is just waiting.
Quantum Leap and The Equalizer. :clap: I'd forgotten about both of those really good shows. All of this reality TV crap has caused me to lose any memory of good TV and just curse it all. See, there used to be good, quality shows on TV. Why can't we have shows like that again???
 
I just ordered myself the latest Mortal Kombat for the xbox for £14.95 and Blu-rays A Bridge Too Far £6.67, Tucker and Dale Vs. Evil £6.95 and Dragon Wars £4.95 which is supposed to be a CGI masterpiece. Last week I picked up the limited edition Harry Potter boxset which includes both Blu-rays and DVDs of all the films for £60, I'm not the biggest fan but I've only seen one so it's worth the money, some real bargains out there as the online shops struggle for Sales, the best to check out are Amazon, Play.com, HMV and Zaavi. ps What do people think of this home entertainment system, I only get sound out of the tv at the moment and the audio (dialoge parts) always seems low yet the action sequences/sound effects very loud so I assume speakers will correct this, I also have a bluray player and xbox 360 so are these adaptable with the home cinema system? Thanks in advance:

I didn't know that about The Equalizer. Thanks for the info. I might just buy up to season 3 then on that show. Especially if they bring someone else in to take over action scenes and the likes. As for Knight Rider changing the head guy of FLAG (Edward Mulhare) at least I think he was the head honcho. He was the one giving Michael Knight the missions etc. As long as it isn't some silly woman he is replaced with then I can live with his replacement I suppose.

I know what you mean my friend. This is why I bought the boxsets of MacGyver, Quantum Leap, V, Knight Rider, The A Team, Monkey (aka Monkey Magic) and other such shows. The 80s kicked ball sack big time!. The shows of today don't have a whole lot to say for themselves. There isn't very many memorable shows around today. All of those shows I mentioned above have memorable main themes. YOU KNOW each of those shows the second the theme starts. Shows of today don't have memorable and catchy music themes. I mean the first second and a half lol that the Knight Rider theme kicks in YOU KNOW what show it is.

Dragon Wars I bought a while back from Asda for about £4 or £5 and I thought it was alright. The FX were pretty good and all that. I didn't regret buying it.


*rant ahead*

As for the shops and them having sales I would avoid HMV as if they had the plague. They are a bunch of fucking robbing cock-jockey bastards!. They were supposed to be shutting down 60+ stores across the UK due to lack of sales and strong opposition from Amazon and the likes. HMV only have themselves to blame. They are extremely over-priced and rarely have a good bargain. I shopped in their store for about 18 months. And one of the reasons I quit going back there (besides the high prices) was the sheer incompetence in them being able to scan DVDs properly. So three times it happened to me... going out the door and BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! the fucking alarm went off. Every cunt in the store looking round and probably wondering if I am a theft when everything is actually bought and paid for every time. It's not hard to slide the case across the scanner to deactivate the fucking security thingy on the case. I mean the amount of discs they have sold by now they should have mastered the art of getting it right. It's embarrassing to have the alarm go off through the incompetence of the worker behind the counter every time. I said to the woman who approached me when it went off on the final time it happened: I said "For fuck sake this is fucking rediculous so it is. There is absolutely no need for this. Everything is bought and paid for. It's not the fucking first time this shit has happened either and I'm fucking sick of discs not being scanned properly!" there was another girl working stacking the shelves close by. I could see her trying to hold her laugh in as she probably thought it was hilarous since customers usually don't flip out over such things. I was ready to get a full refund on what I had bought if I got any back chat from them as well for what I said. I spent £267 that day on DVDs in that shop. That's probably why the fuckers didn't say a thing in return. Imagine them handing me back that sort of cash. They made more from me than most customers. It's their fucking loss not mine. I wont be back to their shop. Fuck HMV.

*end of rant*

lol

What about Murder, She Wrote to make your collection complete?

You know, I've never really taken to that show. I don't hate it. I was just never a very big fan of cop shows or private detective type shows. I think that "Hannay" and the BBC production of "Sherlock Holmes" starring Peter Cushing (which can also be bought in a boxset I think it's 12 episodes) and "Miami Vice" and "The Mentalist" and also "The Detectives" which starred Jasper Carrott and Robert Powell are the only cop/detective type shows I love. You could say that's a lot of shows for someone who doesn't like many cop type shows. But it's not really a lot compared to the fifty thousand run of the mill cop shows already out there lol
 
I love HMV. The deals here are awesome. 3 BluRays for $20? Can't go wrong.

I bought myself new balls for my foosball table. Lame. Although, the gifts I bought for my gf are 50% for me too. Walking Dead books 11-15, Dexter and a We-Vibe. It's going to be a good year ;)

Must be a US thing then my friend. Here in the UK they are robbing bastards. I saw Quantum of Solace in there for £35 on Blu Ray and the DVD of it for £8. Not much of a difference LOL that's around $53.95c for ONE blu ray movie in the HMV store here in the UK. Prices are definitely different from the US stores. You could buy 9 BR movies in the US for the price of one or two here in the HMV stores in the UK. Maybe it's just the HMV store near me that robs you but I am thinking the whole chain in the UK is just as bad. I think the only time BR was cheap in HMV was when they did a limited sale on Blu Ray (BR) discs which went for something like 2 for £25. Which is like $38.54c for two. Still not as cheap as your 3 for 20.

I ain't been to a HMV store in years but do buy online from them as they can be cheap for certain films, especially World Cinema and their delivery is quick too although Play remains my favourite, Amazon and Zaavi are catching up though so I normally check the prices on all 4 before ordering anything. Send It add £2 postage to every item, why they don't up every price by £2 and state free delivery I don't know.
 
I have a question about MacGyver for ANYONE reading this.

The question is in the entire show has MacGyver ever teamed up with a female character. For more than one episode I mean. Like a female regular. I hope not. I love MacGyver from what I've seen so far. I am only on episode 8 or 9 of season one "Hellfire" the episode is called. It's playing as I type this at the moment. Mac will go into a situation and maybe women will be there and help him from time to time and then that's it. This setup is fine. So far there are no regular female characters and I hope the show never has them either.

That's what made The A Team kick ass cause it was a show for guys just like MacGyver is... so far anyway. I hope someone can answer my question for me. It will put my mind to rest on this topic. I am not sexist in wondering that by the way. I am just sick and tired of women being in their own things and them being in guys things as well. I blame the entertainment companies for this mentality. Them being too PC for their own good. There isn't enough programmes these days aimed at guys. It's more family and women type stuff. Sure guys have stuff to watch but it's so few and far between for choice. So when such a programme (The A Team) or a movie (The Thing 1982) is found then it is treasured through how it is made and how it is cast.

Thanks very much to anyone who can answer the question.

I hate you. I want that Knight Rider and MacGyver box! :o

Buy your own :D
