In 1981, Duran Duranʹs first single “Planet Earth” was released. The band took its name from the villian in the Jane Fonda movie “Barbarella.” Was it a disco band, or a rock and roll band, or a pop band? Seemed that radio stations just couldnʹt fit their music into their playlists due to the unique “80's” sound of the music.

In 1984, “Hill Street Blues” Henry Goldblume (Joe Spano) is wrapping up the morning turnout when Captain Furillo (Daniel J. Travanti) announces that Sergeant Phil Esterhaus has died of a heart attack at age 55. “This is going to be a difficult day,” he says. “I know the caution Phil would urge you: Be careful out there.” It would be a terrible day for the grieving officers, especially Joe Coffey (Ed Marinaro), whose girlfriend (guest star Linda Hamilton) is raped. Esterhausʹs death was no ratings stunt — Michael Conrad, who played him, had died just two months before. But “Grace Under Pressure” gives Phil a droll exit: His last act was making love. Itʹs just the kind of offbeat and human touch that made Hill Street one of TVʹs most inventive cop series.
