Northern Exposure was a nice watch.
A comfortable time in front of the tv

Absolutely. Good writing. Nothing overtly controversial about it, but they cover some weighty topics without being too preachy.

It came on Friday nights just shortly after I got my drivers license, during my high school years, and the first couple of years of college. I was rarely watching TV on Friday nights and didn’t care enough to record it.
Similar, but for me, it started in my junior year of college. After the first episode or so, word of mouth got around, and then every week all the guys would meet up at one person's pad to watch Miami Vice, THEN go out to the clubs and bars.
And by Spring Break of that academic year (1985), we all were poppin' the Miami Vice "look"...

I went down a deep dive on Miami Vice after this thread. Found out that Ferrari was fake. Ferrari didn't like that so they provided them with a real Testarossa which became a symbol of this show.

Chris is probably my favorite character from any tv show.

Same, but with Tour of Duty.

I remember my parents telling me when Saturday Night Live hit it big in 1976, people just stopped going out and stayed home to watch it every week which was just unheard of at the time. Bars, restaurants and nightclubs complained about losing business, etc. My Mom had some single friends who complained because Saturday was traditionally the "date night" and now all of the bachelor men were staying home to watch Belushi, Chase and Akroyd do stuff they always wanted to see on TV.
Miami Vice had a similar effect on the next generation. Suddenly it was cool to stay home on a Friday night.

Might be one of the greatest scenes in TV history IMO

Back then, people who made movies and television shows had this thing called "talent".

Rumor was that one of Ferrari's conditions to use tbe Testosteroni was that the fake Daytona had to be blown up.

Great made for tv movie where Denzel plays a young prosecutor on a DWI homicide case. It's on YouTube.

Yeah, I didn't mind this cinema at all

The Crockett sunglasses gif everyone uses is from the episode where they blew up the replica.

Imagine being a kid growing up in the sticks and watching Miami Vice.
I was utterly entranced. Posted on 11/5/25 at 6:15 pm to A12 Oxcart

What is a Testosteroni? Is it related to pepperoni or Beefaroni?
