I liked it.

Jacko's acting was so bad it was hillarious.

I really liked this show. It combined two of my favorite things - Big trucks and helicopters!

I've always loved this show ever since it was shown here in the U.K. late on Saturday nights.

It was another one of those comic-book shows, following on from the likes of 'Knight Rider', 'The A-Team', 'Airwolf' and so-on. It was great fun, and unjustily short-lived. It's demise came at the start of the period where everything stopped being such light-hearted fun, and became all over-P.C. and gloomy, which lasted through most of the 1990s. Not a time I remembered with fond memories.

Yes I actually liked that show. I was so sorry to see it get canceled. I like the blonde-haired guy (Jetto, I think). He was so funny. I'm surprised he hasn't been in anything else.

I wish that I could find it on DVD, or even VHS.

I liked it. The female lead was very attractive, and Jacko used to say at least one thing per episode that made me laugh out loud. I miss Jacko.

Jacko (as Jetto) was what I remembered about this show. In particular, one scene where they had mannequins in the trailer. The bad guy was at the back of the trailer, and Jacko (as Jetto) was holding a mannequin's hand. It went something like this:
Jacko (as Jetto): I just stopped by to give you a hand... [gives the bad guy the mannequin's hand] and here's another! [punches bad guy with his other hand]

Raylan Givens: I told him he's got 24 hours to get out of town or I'm gonna kill him.

I love the series.
I believe there's timetravel, an alien, clones, droids, horror, etc.
This show had it all.

Can't wait to watch them again if I find them.

I loved it too, used to be on really late on a Friday night in the UK.. have managed to track down a low quality recorded from tv rip, just wish it would get a proper release :-)

Yoohoo. I'll make you famous!

I really liked this series. It was pretty ambitious for its time; maybe that's why it didn't last long? I suspect they went through their budget in no time on this one.

It had some really good storylines; the time-travel episode was particularly great.

I loved that show, it was awesome. The two guys were Hot looking, and the stories were great.

I really like The Australian guy, he was funny, good actor plus he was hot looking in a rugged type of way (sort of like Vin Diesel), which I find sexy.

it just surprises me he didn't make it over here.

I did like his battery commercials
