throwback shows

I just searched through all of the tv shows on Netflix looking for what stood out. The answer: not a whole lot. Most are the same and didn’t inspire me to jump to action. The ones that caught my eye were the throwback shows. Also, holy crap there are a lot of shows, and so many I’ve never even heard of!

Have you ever heard of Metastasis? It's the Spanish version of Breaking Bad. Cute, huh?

Or who remembers MacGyver? This guy was so 80s it's not even fair. The font they used looks like it could say "Excalibur" or something related to Knights.

Or what about Quantum Leap? See how clean they try to make it look here? It's like they took the original typeface and tried to make it look all sleek and still relevant. 

And one of my favorites:

la la laaa laaa la. 

Airwolf's was pretty bad, but the helicopter in that show was sick:

And last but not least:

Ugh, those R's and that M are pretty terrible. I can't believe I never noticed how bad it is.

There's not a whole lot I have to offer about these logos. After shuffling through about 400 of them, I was unmoved. I guess it's because I can associate these logos and shows with fond childhood memories. I also love Seinfeld, but that logo isn't winning any awards. With tv it's more about the show itself than its logo I think. Nowadays, the only way I'm trying a new show out is because of word of mouth. Does anyone else feel that way? I won't just randomly watch whatever's on NBC at 8:00 PM. The only shows I watch now are reruns of Seinfeld, the occasional Jeopardy, and a Netflix series when I can squeeze it.
