^ you'd be amazed how many short lived TV stinkers were in the 80s too , most are now rightfully "lost media" and european networks didn't purchase them to air

this channel showed such specimens for every year

and must say TV networks put a lot of effort in their intros

Could not bring myself to watch this even with a rare heroic role for Lee Van Cleef and some interesting guest stars.

The series is now basically complete. I tried not to overdo it with backgroundmobiles, but there weren't that many. Apologies for the duplicates.

Well, I've seen an episode of Cop Rock, arguably my most horrifying TV-watching experience of all time, so the only thing that amazes me is that cheese like The Master gets a blu-ray release, but something like Crime Story does not.

yes very perplexing that such garbage got full blu release [:kiki]

a more tragic example another short lived from 1984 Street Hawk (and a much much better show too ) , was released on DVD but apparently source from Shout Factory said it can't be released on Bluray because the film elements are lost and only the broadcast tapes exist
