The A team. My brothers and I (WB) would go mental when we'd hear the theme tune, so much so our mother would often say if we didn't settle down she'd turn it over (change the channel)

I'm going with The Monkees. My friends and I used to turn our anoraks inside out (for the fur lining) and sing their songs in the bike sheds at school. Got a crowd, too. Years later I'd be paid handsomely for doing the same thing.

They made a feature film just recently of CHiPs.

Starred Dax Sheppard and Michael Penà, sadly it was utter shite bar a couple of comedy moments.

A very small cameo appearance for Erik Estrada who played the original Frank "Ponch" Poncherello

Down in Fraggle Rock

Grab a Fraggle by the cock

Swing him round your head

Swing the bastard till hes dead.

Don't ask me where this came from. As soon as someone said Fraggle Rock I remembered it. Probably though it was hilarious whilst a teenager.

DISCLAIMER: No Fraggles were murdered in the making of this post.
