I have sadly become somewhat of a Dukes and General Lee nerd after I discovered a podcast called Kibbe and Friends. Forensic deconstruction of every episode. Minutiae of all the differences in the General Lee. Love it Thumbs Up 2007 110 TDCi Station Wagon XS

I have to own up to digging the pink and pastel colour suits and T shirts from the 80s box of everything Miami Vice recently. Every episode lived like it was yesterday. Sadly the black Ferrari and Scarrab have long been sold Bow down

I was reading an article on Digitalspy about Films of the 80's that would be seen to be politically incorrect in todays world.

Then the wife was watching some Channel 5 programme on chocolate where they were describing how the Cadburys advertising boffins pushed the boundaries of what was acceptable in their Flake TV advertising in the 70's and 80's..

I truly think that the young of the day are really losing out on so much Rolling with laughter

gingez, was it the original pairing on Dukes of Hazard, or the latter two actors? I loved that programme as a Kid. If they show episodes of CHiPs, that would be an even bigger bonus...... but no Daisy Duke Big Cry

It's the original Bo and Luke but it's all about Daisy Very Happy . Flash hasn't made an appearance yet and Daisy hasn't got her Jeep yet.
It's so funny the jumps they did with no seatbelts and no damage to the Charger even though you see the front wings crumple.
Rosco always seems to hit a tree without going through the screen. Laughing

I'd forgotten just how good 'Kojak' was. It's almost America's answer to 'The Sweeney' in parts.

If you want politically incorrect though, I can recommend the 1980 Vivian Stanshall film 'Sir Henry at Rawlinson End' starring Trevor Howard (last shown on British TV on election night 1987). The trouble is, you'll find some phrases stick in your mind for the rest of your life:

'If I had all the money I've spent on drink, I'd spend it on drink'.

Discomog, it's not so much 'what' this thread is about, at least from the OP's POV, but 'who'. So happy to help out. Thumbs Up

I do follow him, but he can be a bit weird I think. Probably same as a lot of celebrities. He was insisting people ignore the CV19 lockdown advice and come to the big event at his ranch, which backfired a bit. 2007 110 TDCi Station Wagon XS

Honestly, you don't have to go that far back. I've been watching reruns of early 'Waking the Dead' and there's lines and comments by Trevor Eve's character that wouldn't be said now. And that's just 2008ish. Monsieur Le Grenadier
