Never heard of that one,

Loved that!
That little red car flying over a kerb in the opening credits got me every time!

However, I would have switched it over every time for "Automan".

Ooh, I'd forgotten about Automan.
Without a doubt, searching YouTube for a clip of that would wreck another part of my childhood, so I shall maintain my ignorance and continue to believe that it was every bit as good as I remember.
