A shame that the TV series didn't follow the movie of the same name - namely being more adult.
By being more family friendly, it effectively watered down the show.
It's still watchable, but the scripts haven't aged well.
And 'Rolling Thunder' as ground support didn't really gel. Just really a big van with a 4x4 that rolled out the back..............which wasn't even bulletproof, unlike Blue Thunder itself.
As I say, a shame as the subject matter (an urban police enforcement chopper) could have been far better - as it is, it'll always play second fiddle to Airwolf.
