Syndicated Action Shows from the 1990s

Back in the ’90s cheesy syndicated action television series were everywhere. And man, I was a fan. One of my favorite channels of the era was Salt Lake City-based KJZZ, Channel 14. Its Saturday night lineup was Kung Fu: The Legend Continues, Renegade, and the uber ridiculous but entertaining game show, American Gladiators. So when I saw this advertisement from an old issue of the Salt Lake Tribune (Nov. 7, 1993), I had to share. My favorites from the ad were Renegade, Time Trax—filmed in Australia with the cool premise of a cop from the future tracking down time fugitives in the USA of the 1990s—Kung Fu: The Legend Continues, and Cobra. I’ve always thought Baywatch was a turd and Acapulco H.E.A.T. is even worse. Maybe this Saturday night I’ll make a replay of those Saturdays evenings I gleefully watched away so long ago.
