There does not seem to be any more of those gritty crime dramas one use to get in the 80's. These days everything is fancy and polished.

Man I used to love this show! Baasspeurder Faber (1984–1993) [Afrikaans] - Dubbed from the German Transtel police crime series Der Fahnder. Starring Klaus Wennemann

Der Fahnder is my all time favourite cop show ;) The dry german wit/sarcasm just killed me, shame old Otto always got the short end of the stick. RIP Klaus who had a excellent performance in Das Boot.

Thank you! Pity they don't have a english soundtrack on it, want to buy it for friends kid but she does not do afrikaans.

Edit: Just checked and this show was never dubbed into English.

Anyone remember John Ross?

Was about a ship wrecked kid that was adopted by the Zulu's I think?

Yes, remember John Ross. Did he not live with that old beaded white dude though?

Cant really remember it was when betamax was still around, early 80's.
It had a well know black actor in it that was the chief or something.
 
Would anyone know the name of a show late 80's, 90's. Used to be on in the afternoons, was a mix of live action with mechanical animals/ships. I remember the one used to shoot red lazers out of it's eyes and they were always trying to infiltrate each others bases. Was in english.

Thundercats?

Or Robotech.
 
I seriously want to start watching MacGyver again....i'm just afraid it might suck and i'll spoil all my nostalgic memories by doing so (as usual)
 
There was a locally made puppet animation show similar to Thunderbirds that showed many years ago complete with a futuristic Cape Town landscape.
we were once on the verge of cutting edge television series but things feel apart.
found it:

What about this?

A kids program YEARS ago - it was a focused for black kids to watch. In the 80s and 90s.
(Obviously) black people dressed in costumes - a bright yellow duck that was 3/4 height of a full grown man and a bright pink pig that was normal man size.
So every program starts where the parents go to work and the kids stay with grandma at home, then this duck comes and pick up the kids and they travel with a hot air balloon to his farm far far away. Then they learn stuff from the duck and his partner - the 'pink' pig with black hands (he never wore pink gloves). Then the afternoon they fly back and the kids report back when ma and pa gets home - thinking that grandma taught them all the things.
It was irritating, but also very funny in those days. The duck used to go "kwa kwa kwa", then talk a bit, then go "kwa kwa kwa kwa" again. It used to be on TV3.
I'd love to get the name of this program.

Then there was the ever irritating "Pumpkin patch"...
