Street Hawk TV Show Opening Video

A companion to Cartoon TV Rama, TV Times Television Greats features the best tv programs that span three decades. Watch opening sequences and famous scenes from your favorite '60s, '70s, and '80s tv shows!


Street Hawk (1985)

Street Hawk was a show about Jesse Mach, a police officer who was chosen to test a top secret vehicle project named "Street Hawk". His partner Norman Tuttle was responsible for the super bike's design, which he also built himself. Tuttle chose Mach as the only suitable candidate to ride Street Hawk, which Mach would use to fight crime. Many believe that the show came a bit too late. By 1985, most of the super vehicle themed television shows had already gone as tv shows were heading into a new direction. The show only lasted for 13 shows and was canceled then after.

Tangerine Dream composed the opening theme, and a modified version (which features in the pilot episode during the sequence where Jesse takes the bike out for the first time) appeared on their album "Le Parc", titled "LA - Streethawk".

This is a great way to introduce your blog and get a lot of exposure!

Name: Christyflor "Mayu" Pagtalunan
Blog: http://www.tarayquin.blogspot.com

1. Where did you grow up, and what made that place special?
I grew up in Wawa, Orani , Bataan. I was your usual 80s kid. I spent my childhood days playing the usual Filipino games like Tumbang Preso, Babaran (played like tag but you have two teams which had their own "base" then once that you're tagged by the other team you should wait for your teammates to tag you back to your base), Tubigan (we use to make our lines using water from the poso thus the name of the game) or Patintero. Life in the province is indeed very simple. I remember that we didn't have a Jollibee branch yet nor did we have a McDonald's . The only fast food place was 30 mins away from our town which was Cindy's, "The place to be!" Everybody knews each other, and that made our place a special one.

2. What was your favorite tv show, cartoon, or children's show growing up? What did you like about these shows that made them your favorite?
I grew up watching Batibot and Sesame Street. I also enjoyed watching Superbook and the Flying House. Gosh i miss those programs. I was born, raised and forever a Protestant Methodist, and since I was kid who frequently attended church activities, I enjoyed watching these programs. They gave me the animated side of the Bible stories. They should have reruns for that. i also enjoyed watching Eat Bulaga and who would forget Finder's Keepers (I think this aired on channel 5 during the 90's)

3. Favorite music group or artist? Most memorable song?
Isada Da Da Isda (Batibot)
One two three four five six seven eight nine ten eleven twelve (Sesame Street)
I wasn't really into contemporary music, maybe some of the readers here are protestant? The memorable songs for me during the 80's were Kids Praise and Pambatang Papuri. But also there's this song, it could've been in the 90's already, the one sung by Ted Ito, which was a big hit and they translated it to various languages... I forgot the title. Can anybody refresh my memory?


4. Share with our readers one of your fondest memories of growing up.
Fondest memory. Since I grew up in the province, I was fortunate enough to be able to play in the palaisdaan (fishponds) in our area. Nowadays come to think of it, makes me more proud of how normal I was then. I studied in a public school, regarded to have the highest standard of education in the province. Also our monthly trips to the city (Manila) to visit my siblings. Playing under the moonlit night til we drop every Friday night.

5. What do you miss from back then that's not available today?
I miss watching Superbook and The Flying House. Such good programs. I miss the simplicity of life then.

"We've know each other for so long. Your heart's been aching, but you're too shy to say it."


Kaunti ang nakakaalam kung paano nagsimula si Rick Astley. Nadiskubre ang gwapong singer sa isang club kung saan siya kumakanta ng black soul, at ginagaya niya ang boses ng mga matitinding black soul legends. Kinuha siya ng isang producer para isalang siya sa mundo ng recording. Di nagtagal inilabas ang kanyang unang single, ang "Never Gonna Give You Up" na naging instant hit sa British and American music charts noong 1987. Ito ang laging pinapatugtog ng mga mobile sa mga soirée at mga parties na pinupuntahan mo. Talagang sikat si Rick Astley sa mga babae, at sa nga clean-cut na chong, at madalas ito patugtugin sa mga record bar at sa Gift Gate, pag bumibili ka ng mga Sanrio products. Nagkaruon din ng maraming Rick Astley singing/dancing contest sa telebisyon.

Oldie But Goodie: Santo & Johnny - Sleep Walk 1959

Here's a wonderful oldie that takes us back to the dance hall parties of the late '50s. A time when people would dance the night away with their love in their arms, and dreams were reflected in misty eyes. Here's that 1959 hit by the Brothers Farina.

Santo & Johnny Farina were born in Brooklyn, New York of Italian origin. In 1958 Mike Dee & The Mello Tones (Santo Farina, steel guitar; Johnny Farina, guitar and their uncle Mike Dee, drums) recorded a self-penned instrumental which they called "Deep Sleep". Loosely inspired by the song "Softly, As In The Morning Sunrise (Sigmund Romberg 1929), it had the same chord progression but a much simpler melody line.

"Deep Sleep" became "Sleep Walk" and in August 1959 it topped the American charts. "Sleep Walk" continues to be one of the most popular and easily recognised instrumentals of all time.
