Punky Brewster (1983)

The A-Team revolves around the four members of a former commando outfit and current group of mercenaries. Their leader is Col. John "Hannibal" Smith (George Peppard), whose plans tend to be unorthodox but effective. Lt. Templeton "Faceman" Peck (Dirk Benedict) serves as the team's con-man and appropriator of vehicles and other useful items. The team's pilot is Capt. H.M. "Howling Mad" Murdock, (Dwight Schultz), who has been declared insane and resides in a mental institution for the show's first four seasons. Finally, there is the team's strong man and mechanic, Bosco B.A.(Bad Attitude) Baracus (Mr. T).

For its first season and the first half of the second season, the team was assisted by reporter Amy Amanda "Triple A" Allen (Melinda Culea). She was ultimately replaced by fellow reporter Tawnia Baker (Marla Heasley) for the rest of the second season. The character of Tia (Tia Carrere), a Vietnam war orphan now living in the United States, was meant to join the Team in the fifth season, but she was replaced by Frankie "Dishpan Man" Santana (Eddie Velez), who served as the team's special effects expert. Eddie Velez was added to the opening credits of the fifth season after that season's second episode.

Punky Brewster (1984)

Penelope "Punky" Brewster (played by Soleil Moon Frye) is a warm, funny and bright girl, abandoned by her parents. Punky's father walked out on her family when she was 2. Several years later, Punky was abandoned by her mother who took her to a Chicago supermarket and disappeared. Punky was alone with her only companion, and faithful dog, Brandon. Afterwards, Punky discovered a vacant apartment in a local building.

The building was managed by photographer Henry Warnimont (George Gaynes), an old widower. Punky quickly became friends with Cherie Johnson (Cherie Johnson), a young girl who lived upstairs in Henry's building with her grandmother Betty Johnson (Susie Garrett). Once Henry discovers Punky in the empty apartment adjacent his, he hears her story. The relationship between the two blossoms, despite red tape from social workers, who ultimately rally to Henry's side, and he becomes Punky's foster father, and later adopts her.

Her other friends are geeky Allen Anderson (Casey Ellison) and stuck-up rich girl Margaux Kramer (Ami Foster).

Mork & Mindy (1978)

The series was a spinoff of the sitcom Happy Days. The character of Mork first appeared in the season 5 episode, "My Favorite Orkan," where he threatened to take Richie Cunningham back to Ork as an example of a human, but his plan is foiled by Fonzie. The character proved to be popular enough with the audience to rate a starring role in a series, though in the series Mork would reside near Boulder, Colorado, and in the (then) current day of 1978 as opposed to Happy Days' 1950s Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

After discovering Mork, Mindy promises to keep his true identity a secret and allows him to move into her attic. Complicating factors include Mindy's father, Fred (Conrad Janis), who expresses outrage that his daughter is living with a man. Fred's mother-in-law, Cora (Elizabeth Kerr), presents a much less conservative view, and approves of Mork and the living arrangement. Mindy and Cora also worked at Fred's record store with Cora giving music lessons to an African-American teenager, Eugene (Jeffrey Jacquet). Storylines usually centered on Mork's attempts to understand human behavior and American culture as Mindy helps him to adjust to life on Earth. At the end of each episode, Mork must report back to Orson (voice of Ralph James), his Orkan supervisor, on what he has learned about Earth. These end-of-show summaries allow Mork to comment humorously on social norms.

Mork's greeting was "Na-Nu Na-Nu" (sounds like Nah-New Nah-New) along with a hand gesture similar to Mr. Spock's Vulcan salute from Star Trek. It became a popular catchphrase at the time.

This series was Robin Williams' first major acting break. It became famous for Williams' use of his manic improvisational comedic talent. Williams would make up so many jokes during filming, the scripts eventually had specific gaps where Williams was allowed to perform freely. In many scenes, Pam Dawber had to bite her lip to avoid laughing and ruining the filming.

The "Whiz Kids" were Richie Adler, Todd Porter, Jeremy Saldino, and Alice Tyler. They would solve mysteries with the help of Richie's computer system called RALF. Farley (Max Gail) was their mentor. Other characters included Richie's sister Cheryl and Lt. Neal Quinn.

Richie collected these pieces of equipment from his father and connected them together to form "RALF" - his pet name for his computer system which included, in one episode, a primitive webcam.

The show was based on Richie and his friends coming across mysteries which they (mainly Richie) would attempt to solve using his computer skills with RALF's power. Guidance was provided by Farley (their mentor).

TV Show Opening Credits


Original TV Show Theme / Performed by: Isao Sasaki and Mitsuko Horie
Star Rangers (Himitsu Sentai Goranger) (1975)

Himitsu Sentai Goranger translated into English means: "Secret Squadron FiveRanger". Goranger was the first in the long-running Super Sentai series of tokusatsu programmes. Himitsu Sentai Goranger was created by Shotaro Ishinomori. The series had a total of 84 episodes.

The world is threatened by an evil secret society called The Black Cross Army / Black Crusaders, and the United nations forms "EAGLE" (EArth guard LEague) to combat the threat. Special forces are distributed all over the globe (known as "Blocks"), and one of the largest blocks is Japan.

The Black Cross, fearful of this united threat against them, decides to launch a surprise attack against the Japan EAGLE Block and sends five of its most dangerous cyborg operatives to attack Japan’s various EAGLE branches.

Across Japan the Black Cross decimates its targets, killing all those who oppose them. Yet from the ashes of these destroyed bases, five young recruits miraculously survive and vow vengeance. Given a special interlocking key, the various survivors are summoned to snackshop "Gon", a secret gateway to EAGLE Japan's main command center by Japan's EAGLE Commander Edogawa Kenpachi. There they are given special formfitting electronic battlesuits, which empower its wearer with various superhuman abilities. Edogawa tells them that they are the Secret Squadron "Goranger", the world's best chance against the forces of the Kuro Juujigun. Armed with these battlesuits and other special weapons created by EAGLE scientists, they extract their revenge upon Black Cross operatives who killed their comrades and dedicate themselves to crushing the remaining forces of Black Cross.

Goranger was known in the Philippines as Star Rangers. The five rangers were simply known as Star 1 (red ranger), Star 2 (blue ranger), Star 3 (yellow ranger), Star 4 (pink ranger), and Star 5 (green ranger). Although each ranger is equipped with various weapons, their most popular weapons used to attack the enemy are located within the face patterns of their helmets.

Star 1 usually draws his Red Whip, which also can be stiffened and form a fighting staff or Spear Whip.

Star 2 uses Blue Cherry Bow, which shoots special Blue Arrows.

Star 3 uses Yellow Sticker (Rock, Paper, Scissors)

Star 4 is famous for using her Earring bombs, Shuriken throwing stars, and Magic Mirror, which was a special jamming device. She also carried the Ranger Ball which all 5 rangers would kick and use as their final blow to the enemy.

Star 5 uses his Greenmerang Boomerang.

Star Rangers were so popular in the late 70's till the mid 80's that a great number of Star Rangers bootleg merchandise saturated the market. Most popular items were Star Rangers t-shirts, plastic toys (purchased at Divisoria), tex cards, and even Star Rangers cheese snacks.

Kung-Fu Nostalgia: Jackie Chan 'Spiritual Kung Fu' (1978) and Leung Kar Yan 'Sleeping Fist' (1978)

Remember those lazy afternoons sitting around the house with nothing else to do? It was too hot outside to be playing or hanging out with your friends, and it was too hot inside to be taking an afternoon nap. Unless of course you were privileged enough to be comforted by the cooling buzz of an air conditioner.

You'd go to your living room and turn on your tv set every now and then to check if there was anything on that would grab your interest. You'd turn the knob clockwise (yes! most television sets in those days had knobs and only a few had buttons); you'd check all the channels to see if there was something good enough to watch. Boring show after show, then you'd switch over to channel 13... what's this?! A Kung-Fu movie on tv?! A rush of excitement fills you up and you find yourself running to the kitchen, hoping to find some snacks to make watching more fun. You settle for a plate of Fita biscuits and a cold glass of Tang.

Here are two memorable movies that made lazy afternoons more fun:

Spiritual Kung-Fu / Quan jing (1978)
Jackie Chan stars as a goofy class clown in a shaolin temple. Jackie isn't one of the best students flunking all sorts of tests. The temple's best kept secret is stolen. All is lost until Jackie discovers and makes friends with the dancing ghosts with bright red hair who haunt the library. These funny ghosts teach him secret Kung-Fu styles which will defeat his ultimate foe.

There is a scene in this movie everyone remembers very well. It's when Jackie shows off this new style (he's still trying to learn) to a very good female fighter. It goes something like this:

Girl: "What's that?"
Jackie: "Oh, you wouldn't know that. That's the famous crane style."
Girl: "Really? Well, you look like a teapot. Pouring tea!"
Jackie: "You insult my style?! I'll show you!"

If you were a kid in the 80's playing pretend Kung-Fu in your schoolyard or in your neighborhood, that "You look like a teapot!" line was what you would use to insult your opponent. Everyone knows who has seen this Jackie Chan movie knows this line very well!


Sleeping Fist / Shui quan guai zhao (1978)
After being beaten by some thugs, police officer Chin Tai Ba (Leung Kar Yan) learns the Sleeping Fist style from martial arts master Chung Yiu (Yuen Siu Tin). After mastering his training, Chin sets out with his teacher and Cub (Wong Yat Lung) to get even.

Everyone loved this trio of late 70's Kung-Fu stars who introduced unique fighting styles like "The Sleeping Fairy" and "The Sleeping Monkey"!

Miami Vice (1984)

Miami Vice was a popular and innovative television series starring Don Johnson (James "Sonny" Crockett) and Philip Michael Thomas (Ricardo "Rico" Tubbs) as two Miami police detectives working undercover. The storylines of the series differed from those of police shows from earlier decades, simultaneously reflecting the more glitzy and gritty feel of 1980s "New Wave" culture. As Crockett and Tubbs were vice cops, most episodes focused on drug trafficking and prostitution. Stories more often than not ended in a large gunbattle, usually costing the lives of several villains. Miami Vice also broke new ground in its treatment of crime and society. Complex themes of corruption, politics and abuses of power were often featured, and an undercurrent of cynicism and futility underlies the entire series.

The show had a huge influence on (men's) fashion at the time, popularizing, if not actually inventing, the "T-shirt under Armani jacket"-style. Crockett also boosted Ray Ban's popularity by wearing a pair of Ray-Ban Wayfarer (Model L2052, Mock Tortoise). As a consultant to the show Gianni Versace provided the fashion sense. Pastel colors dominated the series in clothes as well as in architecture. Jodi Tillen was the costume designer for the first season, with Michael Mann setting the stylistic agenda. Crockett's perpetually unshaven appearance sparked a minor fashion trend, inspiring men to wear a small amount of beard stubble, also known as five o'clock shadow or "designer stubble", at all times.

MacGuyver (1985)

Angus MacGyver's main asset is his practical application of scientific knowledge and inventive use of common items—along with his ever-present Swiss Army knife and duct tape and the usual coincidence of being locked up in a room full of useful materials. The clever solutions MacGyver implemented to seemingly intractable problems—often in life-or-death situations requiring him to improvise complex devices in a matter of minutes—were a major attraction of the show, which was praised for generating interest in engineering as well as providing entertaining storylines.

All of MacGyver's exploits on the show were ostensibly vetted to be based on real scientific principles (even though, the creators acknowledged, in real life one would have to be extraordinarily lucky for most of MacGyver's ideas to succeed). In the few cases where MacGyver used household chemicals to create poisons, explosives or other things deemed too dangerous to be accurately described for public consumption, details were intentionally altered or vague.

From Aldeguer Sisters to Sex Bomb Dancers

By: Guillermo Ramos

The Evolution Of Philippine Popular Dance As Spectator Sport

The WEA Twins made a few forgettable movies as the token brats; they were so wholesome, they couldn't figure in any major scandals to sustain their careers.

When Lillian Laing dispatched her daughter Zeny Zabala and their bevy of beauteous boarders to the Dance-o-Rama dance contest finals with the immortal words, "Tayo na mga ghels, late na tayo sa ating shindig," I had my epiphany. It was my destiny to become Adoracion Luna, the provincial lass who makes terpsichorean history by doing the watusi, pachangga and the baby elephant walk. (Susan Roces was delightful as Adoracion Luna, but it was Zeny Zabala who left a lasting imprint on my personality by showing me the proper way to raise my left eyebrow.) The Sampaguita Films classic Dance-O-Rama summed up how Pinoys regard dance: as a weapon with which to trample your enemies and reign supreme over the hordes of nobodies with two left feet.

When television replaced cinema as the prime instrument of mass hypnosis in the 70s, the Aldeguer Sisters—Lally and Terry—came into the light. They graced all the top TV shows: Nite Owl, Dance Time with Chito, Seeing Stars with Joe Quirino, Ariel con Tina, Tony Santos Presents and Darigold Jamboree (list not chronological). With their signature steps—Toss head back! Pas de bourreé ! Cartwheeeel. . .and split! —they brought a new vocabulary of dance to Pinoy pop culture. They also popularized Tahitian, Hawaiian and Maori dances through their famous dance school. I remember watching their much-anticipated annual recital at the Meralco Theater, and being entranced by the Maori dance Hoki Mai. So fascinated was I that I urged my mother to enroll me at our local dance school in Cavite City, but she didn’t approve. I secretly signed on when I was eight years old, and I have my recital photo to prove it.

Fast forward to 2002: If you're wondering where the Aldeguer Sisters are, they are alive and kicking! They have just inaugurated The Aldeguer Sisters Performing Arts Center in Los Angeles, California. The school offers classes in jazz, ballet, Hawaiian, Tahitian and folk dance, plus voice lessons handled by Dianne Serrano-Pons, formerly of D'Nailclippers. They also dabble in "event planning and management," which is absolutely essential for visits by Philippine dignitaries and fund-raising extravaganzas. Quote from a recent interview with Ricky Lo: "For as long as we can," smiled Lally and Terry, "we’ll keep on dancing. It's our life."

By the way, I just remembered Lito Calzado the resident choreographer of TSP or Tony Santos presents. The last time I saw Lito was on a TV show on Channel 11 hosted by Ricky Reyes. He was given some sort of a tribute. I didn't realized that he spawned a beautiful daughter in the person of Iza Calzado, a beauteous TV actress, in which the father claimed that she was named after the dance diva Isadora Duncan, the grand dame of modern dance. She died tragically when her 20 foot scarf got caught in the rear wheel of her top-down Maseratti while driving in the South of France.

Back to the 80's, when the Aldeguer Sisters left for the States. A slew of dance duos, groups and whatnot emerged, literally crawling out from under the rock of obscurity. Allow me to enumerate the various dance groups that have graced TV town in the last 20 years. Let's welcome our guests.

The Vicor Dancers. As may be gleaned from their name, they were employed to promote the products of the record company. The original members of this group were former models, boys and girls of the mestiza and jake variety: Milky Evangelista, Sonny Tanchangco, and a former Jazzie model whose name I can't remember appeared in the step-by-step dance instruction manual which came with the El Bimbo-La Balanga long-playing album. That manual was my prized possession, framed on my bedroom wall. Other record company-spawned dance groups appeared: Blackgold Dancers, WEA Dancers, Dyna Dancers and WEA Twins. The latter shimmied to the theme from Voltes V in knee-high boots and polyester baby doll dresses, sporting anime hairdos held together by atomic-strength hair spray. They made a few forgettable movies as the token brats; they were so wholesome, they couldn't figure in any major scandals to sustain their careers. Daily dance contests were beamed to our TV sets, from the Spanish Hustle, Salsa (The El Bimbo variety), LA Walk, Swing, the Bop Bop Girl and Cycling Punk.

Another dance phenomenon emerged when stars like Alma Loveli-Ness Moreno, Vilma Santos (Ate Vi), and later Carmi Martin and Dawn Zulueta needed to display their gymnastic skills. The choreographers to the stars, Geleen Eugenio and Miles Obra, became the brains behind the legs of the stars. They created the "helicopter" effect, wherein the star is lifted from the waist and twirled overhead like a baton by an agile male dancer. They also created the buhat-tapon (lift and throw) step, where the star dancer is lifted by three men, hurled through space, and caught by six men across the room. This has since mutated into the management workshop trust exercise where you fall backwards into space and expect your colleagues to catch you (My nails!).

Kuya Germs had his own contribution. He gave us Bella and the Bellestars, a pseudo-Follies Bergere complete with feathers, sequins and dental floss festooning their rears. They were the progenitors of the Japayuki, and most certainly will star in their own future Ukay-ukay tribute.

After the Bagets movies, the Boy Band explosion and Gary V's insulin-driven dance routines, came the rise of the all-boy dance groups. There were Gary V's Maneuvers, the Streetboys and the Universal Motion Dancers (UMD). UMD represented a new breed of dancers—the local version of the inner-city hip hop groups, the progenitors of jologs. UMD became so popular that they branched out into movies. Their shelf life was cut short because some of members thought that solo careers would bring them greater success. It is interesting to note that one of the members of the UMD, Miguel Tanchangco, is the son of choreographer Geleen Eugenio. Which brings us full circle. Some of the UMD went on to audition for Miss Saigon and made it to the touring company. I saw some of them in the Dublin production of Miss Saigon last September, and they demonstrated what Pinoys can contribute to a foreign production: pure talent.

The Sex Bomb Dancers started out as, and are essentially still back-up dancers for the Laban o Bawi gameshow segment of Eat Bulaga. Their generic presence in various stages of undress drew the interest not only of the television audience, but of
advertising executives expressing outrage over the fact that these girls are treated as commodities. I happen to think The Sex Bomb Dancers are the best thing that ever happened to Philippine entertainment in recent memory. They may be common, but they have raw talent. They can contort their bodies like invertebrates. They rehearse 8 to 10 hours daily to bring undiluted entertainment to anyone who wants it.

Aside from the regular television appearances, the Sex Bomb Dancers now have an album and a hit movie, Bakit Papa? a 72-hour comedy (no the film is not 72 hours long, but the story happens in 72 hours). Directed by Uro de la Cruz and produced by Regal Films, this movie is destined to be the Dance-O-Rama of this century. Young badings in 2052 will utter unforgettable lines from the film verbatim, and copy their style of dressing and rancid acting, mark my words.
