I was riding up from Anglesea over the weekend when I was talking with Relle about some old shows that I loved to watch in the 80’s. One in particular entered my head as being something I would like to see again and I could not remember the name of it. All I could remember was that it involved kids solving crime using computers, how hard could that be to find?
First thing I found was an 80’s tv website over @ http://www.series-80.net/us/ with has over 123 TV Shows from the 80’s. Then I had to review the shows it had, and found other classics like The A Team, Street Hawk, The Fall Guy and Air Wolf. Towards the end I found what I was looking for Whiz Kids.
It is desrribed as “Richie, Ham, Jeremy and Alice are teenagers living outside Los Angeles. They are also computer hackers who worked as amateur detectives in their spare time. Llewellen Farley is a reporter who is a source for the kids and sometimes asks them for help on stories he is writing. Farley’s brother-in-law is Lieutenant Quinn who also provides the kids with help.” So next on my travels was to find a video of it, and I found some on You Tube, mainly shot from a video camera in front of the TV, and so in desperation I wanted to find the episodes online. Thank god for isoHunt as it had 1 guy with a torrent to the episodes, but @ over 7 gig in size it is a little to large to download in one hit.
