Airwolf (1984–1986)
7/10
Great show back in the 80s but got worse each year

I use to love this show back in the 80s when I was a kid. Knight rider was a must watch back then as well.

The helicopter was very cool looking and armed with various weapons but the sound it made was also very cool. It sounded like a low whisper in the wind. It gave you chills when you would hear it coming from a distance.

The problem with this show was that it was running out of ideas. It seemed to repeat itself a lot. They reused a lot of footage from previous shows and at time reused footage from earlier in the show but from a different angle. Got to save money where you can I guess.

The forth season was a disaster. Jan Michael Vincent got in trouble with the law and they replaced the entire cast. It's funny because at the start of this series they said there were only 2 or 3 people that could pilot airwolf, but as the show continued everyone could fly it. The new cast sucked and the show basically died that season. Too bad.

Anyways, I'm not sure it's worth watching these days. I tried watching it again and it looks dated. The helicopter still looks cool and I still love the sound it makes, and the theme music is cool still. However, I would love to see a remake of this show. The things they could do these days with CGI would make for an amazing show it think.
