Hey, loved Magnum, Higgins, and "the lads" (Higgins' killer guard dogs)! "Did You See The Sunrise" was probably the best single hour of TV drama during the 80s! Hell Miami Vice even blatantly ripped off the ending of that episode!
But......Miami Vice re-defined the look and feel of TV. As cheezy as it looks now. Vice was COOL! Eddie Olmos as Castillo, is still COOL!
I'd given some thought to movin' off the edge -- not an ideal location -- thinkin' a place in the middle.

No, no, no
Never was an X-Files fan. Sorry, but never could buy that Scully could somehow explain away anything that didn't fit into her world view. She saw to much weird ass shit, to not be a fellow believer with Mulder.
Yes, Buffy was better! Joss took the biggest cliche' in the horror genre' and turned it on it's head.
Can the blonde damsel actually be the hero? Yes!
Can a series with a name this silly, be mature enough for adults to watch? Yes.
Can it's obvious metaphors relate to teens more realistically than other non-genre shows like 90210 or Dawson's Creek could ever dream of? Hell Yes!
Is it the best series the late WB network ever aired? DUH!

I usede to like Magnum PI in the 80s and now I think Burn Notice is the Magnum PI of the 00s. I still prefer science fiction shows though.

If Firefly never was, BN would be the best of the 00's IMO!
