1987 TV show openings Part 7

[Diskoboy1974]

Crime Story was an amazing show with a lousy timeslot. I hated the fact they ended the show on a cliffhanger.

[freedombear79]

I loved seeing these great openings again. It brings back so many good memories from my childhood. I use to watch Highway to Heaven, Cheers, Rags to Riches, and Perfect Strangers. Since I was only able to see one or two episodes of A Year In The Life, I would love to be able to watch the entire series on DVD.

[freedombear79]

It would be great if A Year in the Life was put on DVD!

Ifuseekamy grow up, the world shall always have diversity till the earth passes away. My hope is you didn't go to college, for a college learned racist is just worse than being a Nazi fool. Let's enjoy the 80s in peace. Memories of times when common sense was wide spread.

[Popteart]

@Wilzehagawa What did she say that caught your attention as it being racist? It has black people in it. She was talking about the song, dumbass. Don't make assumptions when you don't know shit. You're preaching about diversity yet you wish she didn't go to college? Why not just turn the other cheek? And you're even dumber than I thought if you thought common sense was widespread back in the 80's. Did you ever learn about AIDS back in the 80's in health class?

[Wilzehagawa]

@Popteart If it was her against the song then my apologies toher, you and all youtube viewers that saw my comment. I shall wait for her reply to mine, if she indeed is racist then I multiply my earlier comment by 10.

[Wilzehagawa]

While everyone is enjoying the great eighties some racist limbaugh offspring has to add obscene comments.

[Popteart]

@Wilzehagawa LOL shut the fuck up.

[unicronrocks]

Great uploads! I miss the 80's....

[JohnOnTV]

I totally agree with Dorsalfin, although I am bias... I worked on the show.. and I have some great lifetime memories.. We filmed a lot in the Seattle/Edmonds area.. It was so much fun! I miss the cast and crew!

[Lalo3001]

What a great show that was. It would be on par today with anything that HBO or Showtime produces and wins Emmys for. This once in awhile great show from NBC of all networks unfortunately was cancelled after 1 year :(

[RedNekLvr22]

HOw I hated Thirtysomething....as a gay man if there ever was a show that was too "straight", this was it...even with the gay charachter....just nothing to relate to as a gay man...hated it, hated it, hated it. :)

[ifuseekamy]

The "A Different World" opening is so fucking annoying.

[jwgreek8606]

the cheers opening is edited in syndication. I really hate that.

[ifuseekamy]

I was born in the mid 1980's but I can remember some of these shows distinctively, especially Highway to Heaven. They don't make TV like they used to. It almost makes me want to cry.

[Lalo3001]

I'm glad to see a people still remember A Year in the Life. That was a classy, thoughtful, intelligent series that unfortunately got canceled way too soon. I remember Richard Kiley won an Emmy after the fact in 1988 and alluded to this in his speech.

BTW: Whatever happened to Amanda Peterson??? She was quite the it girl in the late 80s and then disappeared completely.

[crxman28562]

Ringbolt9, you are absolutely correct! I love A Year in the Life so much and miss it.

[jpowell180]

@crxman28562 Yes, but the show was apparently deemed "too intelligent" for the American public (ie, the "suits" in the high towers of the network offices wanted to churn out more blank, dumbed-down shows as they received better ratings somehow.

It's no different today - look at what happened to Firefly and The Sarah Connor Chronicles!

[jpowell180]

Heh heh...Crime Story..."Dick Banger"!

Still, Crime Story was cool, as was the other collaberation at that time between Farina and Mann (Manhunter).

[whitehorse43]

bobtwcatlanta, thank you for posting these, they bring back lots of memories! I especially like the rare ones.

[ringbolt9]

a year in the life was a well written and acted drama.

[bettomed3]

Michael Landon por siempre estará en uno de mis recuerdos más queridos, dentro de los actores norteamericanos de la t v..

Especialmente como Papá Ingalls...

Saludos y bendiciones desde Bogotá-Colombia

[briancalibergbmd]

Crime Story was awesome!!.. have both seasons on DVD fortunately

[taurentaurentauren]

@Dorsalfin

I don't know, there are an awful lot of them to choose from!

[CarlaLR74]

Sarah Jessica looked so young.

[Dorsalfin]

Canceling "A Year in the Life" was one of the biggest mistakes NBC ever made.

[GETOSUPASTAR]

thank you! i LOVED that show...i was just a kid but i remember it like it was yesterday. i wish they had released the series (and movie) on DVD!

[buffycharmedangel102]

I wish they'd put a lot of these on DVD's.. I wish they would put The Wonder Years especially! I loved that show!

[dynsim]

Agree. I thought it was a great series. And

[richardthewriter]

I remember one episode of A Year in the Life where a blond guy was playing football at the end and they were playing Peter Gabriel's Mercy Street and I remember thinking how that was an oh so cool moment.

[kcroyalfanatic]

i loved Crime Story. too bad it ended the way it did

[jpowell180]

@kcroyalfanatic ...At least Micheal Mann was able to bring Farina and Smitrovitch in on Manhunter (superior to Red Dragon, IMO).
