Robin of Sherwood

I have been so madly, ridiculously busy lately that it's been horrible. But still: I have watch more Robin of Sherwood. I am through the tragic death and starting in with the introduction of inferior Robin. But even though I do find Jason Connery rather wooden and no match for Michael Praed, I do find the brawl between him and Will hilarious. Complete with random goats and the guy who won't arrest them because his brother serves such good ale.

ETA: The first Robin of Huntington episodes win the bad hair title hands down. So many mullets and so few excuses for them.

I loved that show. The excuse for the mullets is: it was the 80s. :)

I adore that brawl scene! And my sister and I have been quoting the Watch's "We're. Very. Nearly. Ready" scene (to great hilarity) for years :-).
Ah, the mullets. Gotta love the mullets, in a twisted kind of way.

Of course you don't want to potential hurt the provider of the good ale. You're the one who suffers.

Mullets are one of those hairstyles that should not exist.

I remember the gorgeous red-headed Maid Marion and the slashy undertones of the relationship between the Sheriff and Guy. I also treasure the one episode with Valentine Pelka, who I got to love later when he played Kronos on Highlander, one of their better villains. Poor Michael Praed - I don't think his career went anywhere after this.
Robin - the glory of mullets and perms in medieval England.
