Did that guy who was an angel also go to different places each episode and solve people's problems? Shame I've never met anyone like that I've got a long list of jobs they could do for me.

That was the bloke off of 'Little House On The Prairie.' That and that angel thing are two of the worst shows ever made and he's in both - beating the record previously set by Jacko off of 'Brush Strokes.'

As I was typing it I was thinking Incredible Hulk too! Great minds and all that.

Marco.

Not really - though I went out 7 nights a week I didn't bother much with lunchtimes (except Friday and Saturday). Really I was more stoner than boozer, but booze was cheaper.

I remember Brush Strokes - It really was cack. And the theme music (by Dexys I think) was also cack, it accompanied the opening sequence where Jacko was painting a wall, and that's where it stopped being interesting.

Fortunately, I haven't a clue what you are talking about! Must have been the period '68 - '74, which was a 'TV-free period' for me.

'Little House on the Prairie' was '70s although, and it stretches credibility I know, it was recently rebooted.

'Brush Strokes' was 1980s.

That angel thing - which for the life of me I can't recall the name of was '90s - I think.

Possibly all the 'going round helping people' shows were linked. Probably the angel would get first dibs and then any work he didn't want he'd pass on to the dog, the hulk and the A Team.

It was called “Highway to Heaven” and yes, was cack too! Michael Landon was also in Bonanza. Looks like he died in 1991 only 54.

The 'A Team' were definitely '80s. Complete rubbish, but I used to watch it then. I believe the episodes are being re-shown on Great TV, or some such channel but I can't be bothered to watch any of them again. The only repeats I sometimes watch are 'Mash'.

The A Team's not that bad especially by today's low standards. I mean even 'Knight Rider' is now a decent watch compared to modern rubbish.

It was called Highway to Heaven, and I don't feel good about knowing that.

Edit: I've just seen that Alex also knows about it, that makes me feel better :)
