TNT released the first video teaser of its Dallas reboot at the start of the week, bringing back memories of shoulder pads, gigantic mobile phones and everything '80s. To celebrate the return of JR and the rest of the oil-loving gang, Tube Talk's Friday Fiver picks some more classic shows we'd love to bring back to the small screen.

Cheers
Why does everybody always go on about getting the Friends cast back together? Surely getting Sam, Woody, Diane, Norm, Cliff and Frasier back in the bar where everybody knows your name should be a higher priority.



Airwolf
Only in the '80s could you have a man called Stringfellow Hawke saving the day in a helicopter called Airwolf. Let's bring it back and have Stringfellow taking on villains and modern-day health & safety problems.



Dynasty
A rival to Dallas in the '80s, Dynasty had more glamour, more cat-fights and Joan Collins.



Hill Street Blues
One of the first truly classic procedurals, Hill Street Blues ran for seven seasons to critical acclaim. Very few shows have matched it since.



Magnum PI
One of the greatest theme tunes ever. And it stars Tom Selleck. What more could you want?
