I chose Hill Street Blues.

What was Toma?

Howard

"Miami Vice"

Wasn't there some cheasy 80s detective show called Sledge Hammer?

Simon & Simon

Hill Street Blues  :)

Yeah, it was a spoof, a send up.  I thought it was funny, and they took it off (to spite me, I just know it, grrrr)  :)

Miami Vice

I chose Miami Vice. :)

Absolutely Vile

Simon & Simon


I agree!

I also liked Magnum, Remmington Steele and Mike Hammer.

What was Toma?

Howard
It starred Tony Musante and was from the early 70's....my mistake

Miami Vice for me, though Sledgehammer was good too!

Magnum P.I.  ;D

Miami Vice .... hands down! ;D

Magnum P.I.  ;D
If it hadn't been for the huge cast on "Hill Street", Magnum would've been my choice as well ;)

Other - Remington Steele

There was one I used to watch called "Night Heat" that was my fav.  Back then I wanted to be like Giambone.

Other- I vote for "Crime Story". 8)
It was the other cop show directed by Michael Mann (Miami Vice), but was set in the early 60's Chicago, Chicago cops vs. Chicago mob theme (3rd season the location was moved to Vegas). Starred Dennis Farina, David Caruso (NYPD Blue) and Andrew Dice Clay as a gangster (no kidding).
Tom Towler and David Chase (The Sopranos) were writers. Very intense characters, twisted plot lines and just as violent as they come.
This was an excellent show, much better acted and written than Miami Vice...too bad no one saw it but me...still waiting for it to come out on DVD.

If I couldn't fall asleep by 11:30, I would watch "Night Heat."  :P

Why no TJ Hooker on that poll?  Come on!  You gotta love Bill Shatner as Sgt. Thomas "T.J." Hooker, and Adrian Zmed as his hotshot junior partner, Officer Ramono!

What about Cop Rock? :)

Talk about a lame idea for a show.  Yuck.

Magnum, but Remington Steele and Simon & Simon were good too.

I never got to see it, but I heard about it.  Image a program where the cops make an arrest, and then do a song-and-dance number written by Randy Newman before taking the perp to the slammer.

What was Steven Bochco smoking!?
:D
More on "Cop Rock" here:

I liked Murder she Wrote.
and I'm not sure where you would fit Macgyver if it can be classified as a detective kind of show, cause he is kinda an agent.

obviously Miami Vice was a gokod show as well.

Simon and Simon

Love your picture. ;)

Love your picture. ;)

Thanks! I knew you would.  :) I love your avs! :)

Why no TJ Hooker on that poll?  Come on!  You gotta love Bill Shatner as Sgt. Thomas "T.J." Hooker, and Adrian Zmed as his hotshot junior partner, Officer Ramono!

I was more into Heather Locklear ;)

I voted for "Magnum PI", then "Miami Vice"

Miami Vice Crocket and Tubbs were way cool. 8)

JFTR, "Cop Rock" didn't come out & bomb until the 90's.
But I had to choose Miami Vice, too. I can actually claim to having all 114 episodes on tape, and you can read my synopses for the first half of them at this address:
http://www.buyersmls.com/americantv/vice.htm
Click on "Episode Guide", more will be posted soon. No duo was cooler in the 80's than Sonny Crockett & Rico Tubbs!

MIAMI VICE, yesterday, today and FOREVER!!! 8) :D :-*

Other.  Hart to Hart

Why no TJ Hooker on that poll?  Come on!  You gotta love Bill Shatner as Sgt. Thomas "T.J." Hooker, and Adrian Zmed as his hotshot junior partner, Officer Ramono!


I would've voted for it!  :D  I was pretty young, but I loved T.J. Hooker.  Okay, actually I loved Adrian Zmed as Romano and spent most of the time wishing Hooker would get blown away and Vince Romano would take over...but... :-X
I even won a poster of him wearing nothing but a towel once! (Adrian Zmed--not William Shatner! :P)   ::)

I did get an autographed picture of Heather Locklear at that time, and I was pretty excited about it. Still have it, actually. But that was way back before she went and married one of my heavy metal heartthrobs... :\'(

I liked "Remington Steele" and "Simon and Simon" too, though.  And "Sledgehammer" was pretty amusing...never have watched "Cagney and Lacey" or "Hill Street Blues", though.  My mom was addicted to "Magnum P.I." however.  In retrospect, it was okay.  But, I'm likely still looking at it grudgingly because of Tom Selleck's, in my opinion, HORRRIBLE stint as Richard on 'Friends'.  :-\\

other:  Hardcastle and McCormick :)

Miami Vice

I just noticed "Toma" in the poll.  That was a 70's show

Other for "In the Heat of the Night".  ;)

Scarecrow & Mrs King anyone?

Though I decided to vote "Simon & Simon".

Remington Steele was cool too.

Simon & Simon

Cagney and Lacey

But, let's not forget Hunter or Hart to Hart!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  Put me down as the second person who watched Crime Story. Miami Vice, Moonlighting, Remington Steele(Doris Roberts was hilarious), Simon & Simon, Riptide, Sledge Hammer, & Matt Houston were also some of my favorites. I'm sure I'm forgetting a couple.  ::)

how about..
Jake And The Fat Man
Beverly Hills Buntz
Cop Rock
Murder She Wrote
Police Squad

Thanks Skippy!! I was wondering if Matt Houston was actually a show or just some childhood hallucination!!
:D

"Hunter" was my favorite.

  Sorry 'bout that.  ::)

"Hunter" was my favorite.

  There's one of those I didn't remember, and I watch it on TVLand on a regular basis........sheeesh, whip me.
  I also saw mentioned Police Squad and Murder she wrote, two more which I enjoyed. How about Spenser for hire with Robert Urich?

Miami Vice

Yeah, Hunter was a great show! I watched it until it's last episode (which I guess was in 1991). I know I sort of lost some interest during it's tenure, but I always had a fondness for the show.

Ok my last post kinda sounded weird. What I meant to say to you Skippy was that I only vaguely remembered Matt Houston as a TV show....thought maybe I had just made it up or something- I was glad to know that someone else heard of it, that I wasn't really as nuts as people think I am!!!  ;)

Oh this one is a little difficult because I loved Simon and Simon.  I think that Jameson Parker is hot!!  I also loved Riptide because I think that Joe Penny is hot!!

Oh were were talking about sexiest cop show?? ;) :-*

Oh were were talking about sexiest cop show?? 


So you must have watched "Cannon" a lot  ::)  ;D  ;D  ;D

Cannon??  Never heard of that one!  If it has hot guys in it I am there! ;D :-*

I'd still say my favorite was "Hillstreet Blues," although my little bro' and I watched MAGNUM P.I. every Thursday, 8:00 p.m. without fail (unless it got pre-empted by something stupid like the World Series or a Presidential address).
:P

And remember this bit of Vacation banter between John Candy and Chevy Chase?

Lasky, Guard at Walleyworld: That's not a real gun, is it Clark?
Clark: Are you kidding?  This is a Magnum P.I.
Lasky: Its a BB gun. You couldn't even break the skin with that thing.  I'm tellin'!
Then Lasky stands up to get out of the rollercoaster.
POP!
Lasky: OOOOH!
as the rollercoaster cart is climbing,
Lasky: Hey, you shot me!
Clark: Well, you tried to run away!

I don't remember TJ Hooker much, but I believe it was considered one of the better Cop shows.

HUNTER is a great show I would consider MAGYVER in this catagory too

Hunter

How about Sledgehammer?

"Trust me!  I know what I'm doing"  :D

[quote author=whis

His robot double...Hammeroid!!  ;D ;D ;D

"Hunter" was my favorite.


Mine too. I also liked "In the Heat of the Night" and most of the ones in the poll were pretty good as well. Didn't care much for "Miami Vice" but I liked the music.

S.W.A.T.
Sledge Hammer

Miami Vice, the show that you can now watch all over again to get fashion hints on what to wear right now.
I got my white suit a little while back and have been teaming it with a light -tight pink bodyshirt, I was right about the rock look, the 70's look and a few others, will I be right again?
i fudgein hope so because if not I got a white suit and nowhere to white it up at

also, apart from being a front for a new form of culture, the show was also quiet good.
