None of them. "Brideshead revisited" was the best (drama)&#33;
Or Bergerac perhaps?

I just loved when the General Lee would jump over something, and the car chases were fun too.

Sith, just where the heck did you get that pic from&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33; http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard3/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif
It brings me the good old smile on my cherished childhood years&#33;&#33;&#33;

But I do have to admit that Stephen J. Cannel was pretty good at writing the A-Team and 21 Jump Street.

Speaking of 80&#39;s...if you are living in North America, the ever-great FOX network( http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard3/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif ) came up with &#39;That 80&#39;s show&#39;.....great...another damn FOX show that has nothing to do with era except clothings.

Only thing that came out of FOX and turned out to be ok is COPS and the SIMPSONS.

by the way, didn&#39;t COPS first air on 1989?

Also, why isn&#39;t Tour of Duty on the list? It started in 1987 and lasted 3 years, and was probably my favorite show of the 1980s.

Another show that I loved was Night Court. It started in 1984 and lasted for over 190 episodes.

Or for that matter, Cheers started in 1982 and is probably the best show of the 1980s.

Star Trek Next Generation started in 1987, that was good too.

Or Magnum PI, started in 1980.

Out of those you selected I would vote for Miami Vice, if you&#39;d put Hill Street Blues on there I would have voted for that instead, Miami Vice was excellent but the realism of Hill Street Blues just shaded it http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard3/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

Dennis Franz had a bit part in one episode as a cop gone bad who dies, a couple of seasons later he shows up as a different character and becomes a regular, then of course he ends up in NYPD portraying one of the most flawed, yet endearingly human beings ever portrayed on a cop show http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard3/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

There was another helicoptor show, Blue Thunder that came out in the mid-80s. Plot Outline: An advanced prototype police helicopter and their ground support crew battle crime. It lasted for only 11 episodes, so you might not remember it. It was based on a 1983 movie of the same name, but at the end of that movie, the chopper was destroyed, and in the first episode of the TV series, it was "rebuilt".

Here&#39;s a pic of "Blue Thunder"

Magnum PI and Remington Steele were favorites of mine. However, nothing compares to the british series "Cold feet". Its not action though, but very funny. Helen Baxendale is joy to look at as well&#33; God I love that woman&#33;

I just remembered another show of the 80s that had a helicoptor, well, kinda.

The Highwayman was a short-lived show on NBC in 1987-88 (only 7 episodes) that had a truck with a helicoptor as a cab.  The truck would drive around with the driver in the helicoptor and that "attached" to the truck, and when they needed to fly somewhere (ususally at least once a show), the helicoptor would detach from the lower truck part and fly away.  That&#39;s all I remember of the show, it had some US Marshal going around doing justice and stuff, and had a big gun, something like a sawed off shotgun in a holdster on his thigh.

"Call to Glory" (1984)

With Craig T. Nelson playing a U2-spyplane pilot. Man I loved that serial.
