Miami Vice and Magnum.

Miami Vice and Moonlighting. Hill Street Blues but that more a police department show.

Vice and Hillstreet were cop shows. Otherwise I could have put TJ Hooker in

Ok then Moonlighting. I did not watch any of the others.

I was young when "Moonlighting" was on but I remember that if I brushed my teeth after "Who's the Boss" and "Growing Pains" I could stay up for half of "Holy Shit Who Is That Hot Blonde Detective Chick?"

I vote CHiPs then.

I watched a ton of CHIPS and Macgyver after school as a kid on reruns. Both in the realm of detective/cop show. Not even really sure what Macgyver's job was other than working for the secretive "phoenix foundation"

I remember an episode or two where they referred to him as a "troubleshooter".

Magnum by a long shot. I turned 11 in 1980. Hawaii and hot chicks all the way. Oh and ferrari, don't forget that.

Although I watched every episode of chips, most in real time, I never ever watched MacGyver. Not even a minute, ever.

It was so good, IMO it had the same feel as CHIPs did.

You're a hooker.

 

[Huskers4me]

Magnum 1a, Spenser for Hire 1b.

I really loved moonlighting until the writers ruined the show. It got so bad that Barbara Walter’s did a special on how and why Moonlighting changed because the audience hated the writing in the later episodes.
