So i tried to post a while back but the website wasn't being very nice and decided to not post it so that backfired.

Most of my current day entertainment comes from a new widescreen tv that sits gloriously in the living room. From a slouched position on the heavenly couch I enjoy the TV Land reruns. I have learned the wonder that is 80s investigative shows. Now we all know and love the adventures of Macgyver (which occurs at 1pm) but who knows all about Hunter? Not many.

Hunter is quite possibly the best cop show EVER made in the history of the world. He's a maverick cop who likes to wear plaid and say amazing catch phrases such as, "works for me." Meanwhile his partner Dede McCall, once referred to as Brass Cupcake, goes undercover as a prostitute every 1 out of 3 shows. Together they hit the streets of LA and have at least 2 car chases per episode. All you need do is watch the opening sequence, the editors are pure masters at their craft. Evidence can be found througout the episodes but really makes itself clear at the end when they show a mirage of clips that all result in offtimed freeze frames. You need not watch with anyone, the show itself can provide enough laughter without a television savy partner to rip it apart. Yes friends, this show does indeed "work for me."

ZING!
