Jeremiah,
Sorry I wasn't much help with the motorcycle show. I do remember seeing it though.
The show with the little person is The Wizard from 1986 starring a favourite of mine, David Rappaport. The main character was a genius who loved to make toys and was protected by an agent played by The Fall Guy's Douglas Barr.
Rappaport did guest appearances in many TV shows over the span of his career in England and in the US. He was also in an excellent movie called Time Bandits - check it out.
Around the time of The Wizard, one of the last things Rappaport did was the vide for Al Stewart "King of Portugal". Then he committed suicide. Very sad.
I also remember the Electric Night, but like the motorcycle show we're all trying to remember, I only watched it once or twice because I didn't really care for it.

I don't remember the shows you mentioned, but just yesterday I was echoing a lot of what you said to a friend of mine. I hardly watch TV these days... and I really used to like TV. Its all shock value now. What happened to simple, original writing?
Guess it was my turn to vent!
