The Renegades originally aired as a TV movie in August of ’82. It was spun off as a series in March of 1983 and lasted for six episodes only. It’s a Mod Squad (1968 – 1973) reboot, but without the social conscience or hip vibe that made the first show so awesome. The premise was tweaked again, with better results, for 21 Jump Street (1987 – 1991).
Here’s the Renegades intro. Pay special attention to Scoggins’ dramatic head turn, ‘Dancer’ running his hand through his feathered hair, and the uncomfortably long time the renegades stand staring at the cops. The music rules.

My favorite part was the random birds obviously chucked into the background from off-camera at 1:38.
HA. I didn’t even see that. If you’re going to chuck birds in the air, maybe use less fog machine?
Judging from the trailer, they saved money on sets by using mostly fog machine. Also, this was linked from Wikipedia, though I’ll have to wait until I get home from work to watch to it with sound: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XkztGA_Oln0&feature=related
The first part was all I could get through. Let me know if you make it any further.
Yeah. On second thought, I might have better things to do with my life…
Totally Awesome and Radical.
