    Really? Not even her cover of These Boots Are Made For Walking??? I did not think much of any of the casting if I recall correctly. Then again, the whole film was pretty much instantly forgettable so I can't remember in any sort of detail...

    Sorry lads. But a ****load of them are 1970's. Hall's Pictorial Weekly, Dallas, M*A*S*H*, Mork & Mindy, CHIPS, WonderWoman, Wanderly Wagon, etc. The best of the 80's for me was Quantum Leap

    I always liked the theme tune to Miami Vice



    That's not the theme song to the show, it's Crockett's Themes and is far more downbeat than the theme.




    Personally, Miami Vice remains one of my all time favorite shows. I can still recall watching the repeats on Sky when I was a kid. Alongside The Sweeney it's a show that I could watch for days. Sure the later seasons got a little out there but the first 3 series are as hard hitting as anything on today. People write the show off as a campy kitsch novelty but many of the storylines were before their time. It was a dark, adult drama that tackled issues such as homosexuality in a time when network TV was shying away from such topics.

    I still think that this scene from the first episode of the show is one of the all time greats. It just oozes cool and there's a hint of the darkness at the heart of the show, we have these two cops thrown together and neither cares if h lives or dies. All that matters is putting a bullet in the villain.

    On a more cerebral note, Dennis Potter's drama, 'The Singing Detective' was ground-breaking stuff when first broadcast and remains a high point in British TV drama.

    Slightly cheating as it was 1990 but the books and Maggie Thatcher defined the 80's and somebody posted Yes Minister, but this is serious satire:

    I had forgotten about that song, that was bad alright. Everything about that film was woefully bad except for the 'aesthetic appeal' of Jessica Simpson :D

    From out there on the moon, international politics look so petty. You want to grab a politician by the scruff of the neck and drag him a quarter of a million miles out and say, ‘Look at that, you son of a bitch’.

    Rubbish question. All good shows finished in the 60's. Mr ED, I Love Lucy, Bonanza, The Fugitive and Rawhide. These were educational in those days. You could leave your front door open etc., .............

    Glad to see Blackadder, Yes Prime Minister and Only Fools and Horses all get a mention - brilliant shows the lot.

    Not sure if it's been mentioned yet, but Cheers was also brilliant in its time.

    Away from sitcoms, The Old Grey Whistle Test (or Whistle Test as it was later known) was essential viewing!! :)

    Haha, V became ****e long before that reboot. But for all that the Original Miniseries is classic television that still holds up today (a few dodgy special effects aside).
