In 1985, “Miami Vice” Boasting Hugo Boss suits, two-day beard growth, and a sleek Ferrari convertible, Sonny Crockett (Don Johnson) and Rico Tubbs (Philip Michael Thomas) were the first TV cops to have as much flash as the bad guys they chased. In “Out Where the Buses Donʹt Run,” series creator Michael Mann updates Edgar Allan Poeʹs “The Tell-Tale Heart” with glitzy visuals and a throbbing rock-music soundtrack (The Who, Dire Straits). Former vice cop Hank Weldon (Bruce McGill, center, with Johnson and Thomas) tags along with the squad to catch a cocaine kingpin who disappeared long ago, Hoffa-style. Is Weldon nuts? Says Crockett: “My head tells me heʹs stone-cold insane, but my gut says letʹs go with him on this.” The chilling finale proves Crockettʹs gut wrong: A guilt-wracked Weldon rips down a wall to expose the corpse of the drug king he actually murdered six years earlier.

In 1988, “The Premiere Episode of Roseanne!” With the finest and funniest blue-collar sensibility since “The Honeymooners” and “All in the Family,” the tart-tongued (and dysfunctional) family sitcom “Roseanne”, TV Comedy starring Roseanne Barr, then Arnold, then no last name, then Thomas, debut on ABC. It also stars Roseanne, John Goodman, Sara Gilbert, Lecy Goranson, Michael Fishman and Laurie Metcalf. During this first season, Metcalfʹs boss is played by some unknown guy named George Clooney. The kitchen was a mess, cereal littered the table, the furnishings looked shabby, and the kids were sniping at each other. Right from the opening scene, this groundbreaking sitcom plunged us into a very different sort of American family than we were used to seeing. Then came Rosey: bumptious, brazen, crabby, and brutally honest. Wearily watching her kids squabble, she drawled, “Now I know why some animals eat their young.” The showʹs raw, blue-collar tone clashed emphatically with everything on prime time. Also in the showʹs debut, deemed by some to be “The Anti-Cosby Show” as was “Married…With Children,” Mrs. Conner also has to deal with complaints that her daughter Darlene barks in school. Realistic mayhem ensues.
