Cheesiest "Proper" TV Show

[The_root_of_all_evil]

Having grown up in the 80's, I've seen some truly awesome levels of cheese, but is there one show that stands up head and shoulders above the rest and screams "I AM MADE OF GORGONZOLA!"?

Having looked into it, there's far too many for a poll to be used, and for the purposes of defining a "proper" TV show, it has to have been shown for at least one season, and have the intro(if not clips) on youtube.

To start you off:

MacGuyver: Pre-Jack O'Neil, Richard Dean Anderson stars as a man who can make a gun out of a paperclip.
The A-Team: Really, if you've never seen this, then you haven't lived.
StreetHawk: An injured bike rider who rides a super powered bike, ran by a Federal Agent called Norman Tuttle.(See also Airwolf, Knightrider, Blue Thunder)
Automan: A young cop's new assistant is ...a hologram. That can create objects anywhere.
Manimal: A wealthy young man goes to Tibet and finds...he can turn into animals.
The Greatest American Hero: A klutz gets given a supersuit to fight crime.
Sledge Hammer: A love story about a man...and his gun.
(Seriously, I watched all of these and they were atrociously cheesy)


Now - down in Hazzard County - we call this a cornfight, due to cheese not being around since Boss Hogg declared it illegal, but that's another story.

So...with that little interruption, what is the smelliest, rotten, god-damn wonderful show that you've ever seen?

Heh, they spoofed that on American Dad once. An animal control unit pulled up and saw all these poisoned critters. One guy kneels over a gopher, takes off his sunglasses, and says "I guess it wasn't this groundhog's day. YYAAAAAAAAOOOOO!!"

His partner just gives him a weird look.

Edit: found it <youtube=3InZCVsiNKA>

 

[KaiRai]

Airwolf. Definitely the cheesiest

Ultimate Force! The cheese doesn't get in the way of how awesome this show was though!

Now, MMPR is a tough one. Season 1 really knew what it was about. Truly monstrous acting, creatures that made no sense and enough enthusiasm to match a kid with Sugar Frosted Coco Pops.

Then it just went serious (as serious as it could get) and spoiled itself. Shame really.

The cheese doesn't get in the way of how awesome this show was though!

Proper cheese should add to a programme, not take away from it.

(BTW, I'm SO glad I didn't lose that post in the server crash.)

not so much cheesy as completely bat-shit fucking insane

 

[Casual Shinji]

Father Dowling.

A pastor and a nun who solve murder mysteries.

 

[KingPiccolOwned]

Unfortunately I don't watch live action television much, and especially not the kind with a plot, except for Law & Order SVU, and that is far from cheesy. So I guess I got noting.

 

[Pacifist Chris]

What about Gladiators?

A show all about men with stupid names hitting each other with foam clubs. In a cage. Well, I think thats what happened, I didn't watch it too often.

Edit: I just looked it up on wikipedia, perhaps there wasn't a cage involved.

I used to love how in Power Rangers, the enemies would spark everytime they were punched, instead of blood or anything to violent for the youngsters.

 

[Pimppeter2]

Father Dowling. Acurate description of most preists

 

[The_root_of_all_evil]

What about Gladiators?

Ah Gladiators, it also had one thing that no other show matched:
Jet

More shows should have goodlooking kick-ass ladies, but that may just be my opinion.

 

[Galletea]

Ooh Gladiators, Jet was rather hot.
Erm...Batman with Adam West?
CSI Miami is a good one, with the investigative tortoise that is Horatio.
...I don't remember much from my childhood.

Ah Jet. That women was my dream throughout puberty.

Nyway I'm gonna go with any kind of soap in the 90's

 

[inflamessoilwork]

Married with Children

 

[Brett Alex]

Batman with Adam West?

It seems I've been beaten to it.

On no other tv show does a punch make the noise "FLUMP!"

 

[Jirlond]

Erm...Batman with Adam West?

That was awesomely cheesy - criminals dance montages in the middle! The movie rocked too:

"Some days you just can't get rid of a bomb!"
