There was/is still a lot of those. About as entertaining as "infomercials"
Zoids, Power Rangers, you name them. All aimed at disposable income.
I did watch a lot of those old TV series on and off in my younger days, Knight Rider, Space 1999, MASH 4077, I dream of Jeannie, Blakes 7, Macgyver, The Avengers, The Persuaders plus a bunch of German stuff that is probably not known in English speaking countries.
