A question for Gen Xers and Boomers. I miss two. One was a Supernatural like show called Friday the 13th the series. It had nothing to do with the Jason movies and followed a trio of antique dealers tracking down cursed antiques. Each antique had a unique curse and had to be used in a particular way but basically you killed people and it granted you something you wanted. The other was called Midnight Caller. In it an ex cop became a late night talk radio host. The calls led to catching criminals, solving crimes, and addressing social ills.

I barely remember Moonlighting.

Also Magnum PI, Cheers, Chips, Airwolf, and Ripley's Believe it or Not, Knight Rider.

At the time I loved The A Team, but now I realize how stupid it was.
