Linkshoch Wonderful Movie

WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

Bumpy Chip It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

super marauder Night Heat is a police drama, but as the title suggests it takes place at night. Kevin is a veteran police detective and Frank is the good looking tough guy, but he's a softy at heart. Tommy is a reporter for "The Eagle" who writes about these super cops.The show follows a formula, at the beginning we here a voice over from Tommy describing what just happened with a social comment, Frank and Kevin look for clues, they stop at Nichole's, and they usually solve the crime. Standard formula right? What sells me are the characters. All of them are likable, and they look real, not your typical Hollywood beautiful tough cops. The all were human like Tommy is a recovering alcoholic and drinks milk at the bar. Nichole is the widow of Kevin's former partner who was killed in front of Kevin and they formed a relationship. The supporting cast are great too. Lt. Hogan is the crusty veteran who seen it all, and Colby is the tough street smart guy and is paired with Freddy who is the sensitive guy.I had no idea this was filmed in Canada for the longest time, (not that it makes any difference) but maybe that's why this show was so good. It was edgy, gritty, and a little raw for the time. Don't forget this was the 80s and this was a time when American television was really becoming sanitized.So, at this point it's been a while since I have seen them, but I am going to hunt them down. Believe me this show is so good I might go out and buy me a blue K-Car!

haildevilman This lasted several years despite the late hour it was on.Like a lot of 80's crime dramas, it looked cold. Both physically and figuratively. This isn't a bad thing though. And the (obviously) low budget actually worked in it's favor. Gritty during a time when 'slick' was in.Allan Royal's wraparound segments as the news writer gave it a slight edge.The only actors I remembered were Scott Nylands (Earthquake) and Tony Rosato (SCTV). The cast of barely knowns was a good thing because one could see the group as a whole and not as a bunch of people supporting a 'star.' And yes, that's a young Clark Johnson (Homicide) in a recurring spot.I hope a DVD release is in the future. Someone out there wanna get on that?

pd911 I loved watching this show late at night. I was a shift worker and would get home late at night, just in time to watch the network late shows and this one was one of the best, very original. I would love to have these on VHS or DVD. I used to tape it, and of course,no cable at the time, so I had to rely on good reception on my TV, not always getting it when the outside antenna would blow around. This is one of those shows that would be a great addition to my collection. Scott Hylands and Jeff Wincott were fantastic. I loved watching them play off each other. I can see some of the police officers I work with in the two of them.

goleafs84 I used to enjoy watching this show. Since this was on CBS Late Night and through the years it was on, due to work or college, I wasn't able to watch it when it was on. Thank goodness for VCRs!!! Otherwise I would've missed out on a great show.It featured a great cast was great with Scott Hylands, Jeff Wincott, Sean McCann, Deborah Grover and Susan Hogan. Stephen Mendel as Detective Freddie Carson and Eugene Clark as Detective Colby Burns were the perfect comic relief. Both had great chemistry together and played off each other well. In addition, Tony Rosato as "Whitey" was hilarious as well playing Detective O'Brien and Giambone's "stoolie". I used to love the one liners "Whitey" would lob at both O'Brien and Giambione like, "Hey Giambonie, you need to lighten up on the hairspray", or "you two need to wear more pastels and you can look like those guys on Miami Vice" as they left him when they got the information they needed. Clark Johnson as Detective Dave Jefferson was both sleazy and funny at the same time, not always telling "O.B." and Giambone what they needed to know when Vice ended up getting linked to their cases, but in the end, they got it, but had to work for it.In some of their episodes, you'll find guest appearances from Danny Aiello and from future stars like Keanu Reeves. I best remember him (Reeves) as the stoner punk villain. He played the role well.Back in the late summer of 1987, CBS used this show as a summer replacement for a month at the 10 o'clock time slot on a Tuesday night. It did well in the Neilsens, but CBS chose to keep this on their Late Night lineup.Sometimes, I pull one of these tapes out, blow off the dust and put it in my vcr. It was a great show.I still have the shows on tape and have blown the dust off and popped them in the VCR. I still enjoy the show.
