Also, my apologies: I realise how boring this question is haha and how it doesn't really fulfill the requirements of the game (which is more or less to 'Get to Know a Legion Worlder').
So since it won't affect the results so far, I'm going to change the question to:
Which of the following TV shows was one of, if not THE, first shows I ever watched on TV, and I think the only one to air in Zambia where I grew up?
1. 21 Jump Street
2. Beastmaster
3. The Commish
4. The Greatest American Hero
5. Hercules: The Legendary Journeys
6. Hill Street Blues
7. JAG
8. Maverick
9. Numb3rs
10. NYPD Blue
11. Rawhide
12. Sheena
13. Star Trek: Deep Space Nine
14. Star Trek: Enterprise
15. Star Trek: The Next Generation
16. Star Trek: The Original Series
17. Star Trek: Voyager
18. Tarzan
19. Wiseguy
20. Xena: Warrior Princess

Not Beastmaster. I never even knew that was a TV show until I was compiling options for this question (which all currently air on the US channel 'Heroes and Icons' by the way).
Not Tarzan. Although now that I think about it, I think that show probably did air in Zambia because my Mum and Dad seemed to be aware of it, though it was before my time.
Not Maverick. I've never seen that show aired in any of the other countries I've lived in. I had never even heard of it until the Mel Gibson movie.

IB: Was that because you didn't watch much TV growing up or because the Philippines didn't get many international TV shows (like Zambia didn't)?
Not Xena (although that WAS the show I was half-watching when I saw that I got the previous question right so you get sentimental points for that!).
And not ST:DS9 or Sheena, both of which I don't think I've seen more than one or two episodes of.

One of the many reasons I was a big fan of TV shows from the '70s and '80s is that so many of them had good intro theme songs. I've already mentioned The Greatest American Hero's but the Super Friends also had a great one and so did my next guess:
15. Murder She Wrote
I never fail to bop my head along to that jingle when it comes on.

IB has it already. My family used to call the Charlie's Angels my girlfriends because I was so obsessed with the show I had to watch it in another room by myself.
I still read spy novels!
Murder She Wrote is pretty good too and I think holds up better over time. However, She really was bad luck or something,
"According to the BBC, the small coastal town had about 5.3 murders every year. That would make the murder rate for the town of 3,560 people about 1,490 murders per million people. That's 60 percent higher than Honduras, where a violent death occurs every 74 minutes."
OVER TO YOU IB!
