Me and the wife have caught a few episodes on lately and I remember being a kid watching them and thinking it was an awesome show…now? Holy hell it’s borderline cringe how dumb most of it is.

Growing up, we didn't have cable. Only 4 channels over the air. Sundays at like 11am was a show called Renegade with Lorenzo Lamas. That used to be my jam when I was a kid. Never got to see it all. I recently finished watching it on my Plex from start to finish. The cheese level is off the charts. Especially around season 5 when he started wearing a wig cause he'd cut his hair in real life.

Also, the original MacGuyver. Its almost too cheesy to watch.

Not cheesy at all.

We've watched through the entire series twice or more with our kids now and they loved it.

Also, that Christmas Special will punch you in the guts.

I remember first seeing Erin Gray as Col. Wilma Deering when I saw the movie at the theater, and fell in love with her.

I got to meet her years later at a comic convention in Kansas several years back and got an autographed picture. She was very nice and sweet.

I liked the show but it did have some bad episodes. The "space vampire" one was bad.

I was gonna say, "Sorry, that's a '70s show," but I checked and it ran until 1986.

I tried to re-watch Dukes after having only seen it during my late childhood and it was unwatchable
to adult me.

One that hasn't been mentioned yet is Renegade, with Lorenzo Lamas. That was a peak 90s cheezefest.

ETA: There was a show called "Out of this world" from 1987-1991 that was super, super bad cheeze as well.
