Top 10 TV Cars

The 'Cuda from Nash Bridges was way cooler.

Yes, but the orginal topic was TV CARS, not vehicles.

There have been modern live-action movie treatments of the Flintstones, and now they're producing a live-action Jetsons movie. Somebody should do a live-action movie treatment of Supercar. If he would be agreeable to do a children's story as a change of pace, I would hire Dale Brown to help write a live-action Supercar script as a "children's technothriller."

Well, I guess my final recommendation of My Mother The Car fell on deaf ears. Oh, well, so I got one wrong.

No, they should not.

Brian

Yeah, I was amazed they skipped Miami Vice; I figured they used up their Ferrari quota on Magnum. And of course for (I think) most of the run it was a GTSi. And I don't think Robin paid for gas. I mean, how could he? Unless he gave Magnum a credit card. There isn't a gas pump to steal from on the estate, and Higgins sure isn't gonna gas it up or reimburse Thomas.

But it ain't a *TV* vehicle. The Enterprise E is a movie vehicle.

Shall we talk George Jetson?

I stand corrected. I should have said Enterprise D.

Thanks for the correction.

Jeff

Ah. I thought you really meant the E. I've never liked the D.

YMMV

A live-action version of Speed Racer is supposed to come out next year. Cristina Ricci as Trixie, Susan Sarandon and John Goodman as Mom and Pops Racer.

I think they should animate Speed though - No live actor could ever capture his aura.

Oh, hell yeah! Was there ever a TV car that looked so much like, well, a car?

What about KITT?

It just HAS to be on that list

Jed Clampet's Truck (From The Beverly Hillbilly's)

How about Captain Video's "Jet Mobile", really an Austin Healy. Yes I am that old! Then there is the MKII Jaguar of Inspector Morse. I had one of those.

Don't forget Red's Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser on "That 70's Show".

Thats about the only thing on your list I agree with. C'mon, you've got Starsky's smogged-out SMALLBLOCK mid-70's single-exhaust Torino ranked (which is an insult to Ford guys everywhere), and then you don't even mention Mannix's Challenger or The General Lee (yeah, it was a dumb show, but even that paint job can't ruin the looks of a '69 Charger), or Daisy's yellow Sebring? Get real.

No, it doesn't. Another underpowered smogged-out 80s POS, not a real car underneath. At least Rockford's firechicken could be had with a big-inch v8. And I'm still trying to think of a Ford that's better than the all-looks and no go 75 Torino on Starsky and Hutch.

Jeez. No mention of the Urkelmobile. :)

Maybe the big block powered, luxo barge Mercurys from Hawaii Five-0? :)

Actually, I can't think of any cool Ford TV cars. Movie cars are a different story; Bullitt, Gone in 60 Seconds, White Lightning, etc.
