Why don't we have any cheesy 80's action shows anymore like MacGyver, the A-Team, and the Littlest Hobo? Those kick the piss out of any "reality show" or sitcom (the latter which have thankfully mostly died out by now).
I don't know if The Littlest Hobo could really be classified as "action". A good 80% of every episode consisted of the dog running back and forth between locations and barking at suspicious or dangerous things/people.
