Do you rememebr these 1980's TV shows?

I’ve just been reminiscing about a few TV shows that I used to watch as a kid/young teen in the 1980’s, that I have never seen since. They haven’t been repeated and my memories are so vague about them it’s amazing I’ve recalled the titles…

The Wizard
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0090547/
From memory this was a great series, which ended abruptly when the lead actor shot himself. 🙁
He was, incidentally, apparently the same dwarf who appeared in the excellent, sad U2 video – ‘With Or Without You’ about the gypsies and the dwarf who loved the girl.

The Misfits of Science
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0089602/
and
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0088568/
I loved this show. With a very young Courtney Cox, later of Friends. And the lead was Dean martin’s son, who acted in his spare time but was really a USAF test pilot – a job that killed him, again ending the series. 🙁

Tales of the Gold Monkey
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0083488/
With the chap who plays the dad in 7th Heaven, and a Grumman flying boat (Goose?). I seem to recall vaguely this was great, with swashbuckling adventures in the old 1930’s and 40’s Humphrey Bogart movies style. Am I right or have rose coloured glasses tinted the childhood memories?

Whizz Kids
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0085110/
A series that had a bunch of kids with computers who used what must have been the internet, ten years before anyone in NZ had heard of the internet, to hack Government and other computers and save the world all the time. This used to baffle me and others my age, when here then if you had an Amstrad or Commodore 64 you were very high tech, and there was “no way” computers can tlk to each other through phone lines, we thought!! 🙂

The Powers of Matthew Star
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0083467/
It had Louis Gossett Junior in, so it must have been appaulling I guess. I don’t really remember much except Star could move stuff around using thought waves.

Metal Mickey
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0163467/
A great kid’s sitcom from the UK that had a smart arsed robot and Irene Handl. I thought it was so cool as a kid but Mum hated it, so it was probably annoying to adults.

Anyone remember these then? Any memories to add – or other hazy vague memories of other TV shows?
