Help me identify an old-ish (late 80's/early 90's) TV show

[SunnyD]

It was on the old UPN or pre-UPN line up, usually Saturday or Sunday mid mornings along with the other scifi/fantasty shows like Hercules/Xena, Kung Fu - The Legend Continues, etc.

It featured a cop or ex-cop who would moonlight as a vigilante wearing some sort of high tech exo-armor. The guy would ride a pimped out motorcycle. I can't remember the actor's name either, unfortunately.

Any help would be appreciated, as my Google-Fu fails with this one.

Not Night Man?

EDIT: nope, he wasn't an ex-cop

is this the one with the mortorcycle that would change? such as when going off road ti would get off road tires/suspenion and could go like 300 mph?

it was kinda a knight rider type rip off show.

But neither were cops, I think.

EDIT: It's Super Force, he does join the police department, though he was an astronaut before.

Is that the moto suicidal speed mode?

*crono got it, M.A.N.T.I.S. *

M.A.N.T.I.S. is a TV series that aired for one season on the FOX Network between August 1994 and March 1995.


i don't think this is it, as i seem to remember the exo-armor thing that you are talking about and this description doesn't mention that

Nope. Wasn't Night Man.

Err, not entirely sure. I do recall an episode where apparently this guy and his father? (who stole the exo suit, forcing the main char to use an "old" version of the suit) contained the blast from some sort of mega-nuclear bomb with both suit shields or something though.

tvtropes.org is a good way to find old shows and movies that your memory might be vague on. Used "power suit" to find it.

I loved the music. Automan was also a fav while it lasted. Oh, and Misfits of Science Ah, young Courtiney Cox.

I wish Mann and Machine hadn't been so abruptly cancelled too.
