At Flashbak: Sci-Fi TV: 1983



This was the season in which (late) producer Glen A. Larson gave the world two unusual TV superheroes in Automan and Manimal.

Speaking of funny, Wizards and Warriors, another short-lived series of 1983, also premiered, and gave the dungeons and dragons milieu a kind of campy make-over.
