Car. (I would watch that show. Hell, I might <i>write</i> that show, just for Sars to snark on.) Here's some cheesy goodness: <i>Forever Knight</i> co-starred John Kapelos (better known as the Janitor in <i>The Breakfast Club<i>) as Nick The Vampire Cop In Toronto's partner; said partner's name was a perfect homonym for "skanky." I shit you not. But I couldn't deal with either 21J or <i>Degrassi</i> - they both made me break out in hives.

Never seen it. Heard it was nerdy and awful. Here's a wiki-excerpt: The program concerned a high-tech military helicopter, codenamed Airwolf, and her crew as they undertook various missions, many involving espionage, with a Cold War theme.

I won't be revisiting MSCL; I recapped a big chunk of that for TWoP, and as much as I love the show, that bird is done. @J: Ooh, good idea. Remind me of that at contest time.

"My So-Called Life" is also a 90's show. (LOVE YOU CLAIRE DANES!!!) I have a theory about Melrose - If you're a straight man, and you DON'T have sex with Amanda Woodward, you will die. Can anyone disprove this? My sweetie has every ep on DVD so *Miami Vice* would be lovely!!! I wanted to suggest "Melrose Place," but it ran from '92 to '98. "My So-Called Life" is also a 90's show.

My favourite part of that show was that it was all clearly filmed on DisneyWorld Florida properties. I remember because I discovered the show while I was staying in Celebration for work and it just made the whole Disney faux universe experience even trippier Hee, Thunder in Paradise.
