Today’s Lunch-isode Series: Miami ViceEpisode Title: Heart of DarknessSeason: 1Year: 1984Why we love this episode: White blazers with gold chains as far as the eye can see, coke-filled night clubs, high-speed chases in fancy-schmancy convertibles—it doesn’t get any sexier than that!

And if that isn’t bad enough, Crockett’s pet alligator Elvis is wreaking havoc on his houseboat—oh, how we love that gator!Watch this episode now!Your take: What was your favorite moment of Crockett and Tubbs?

OK, first off, how fun was last week’s interview with Joss Whedon? You guys went to town on that one. Honestly, I haven’t taken that many hits since high school, if y’all know what I mean.Which brings me to this week’s bidness. Being November, the month of Thanksgiving, I’ve decided to devote each of the next four columns to shows I am grateful to have on DVD. And since high school is on my mind these days—just had my 20th class reunion last weekend (and let me tell ya, we still look good!)—the first batch are all shows from back when the Bonner boys were wearing our Capezio jazz shoes, thin leather ties and trying to understand why all the Prendie girls thought their massive Aquanetted walls of hair and liquid eyeliner looked good. So for Jerry Leyden, Chuck Wurzbach, Art Hoath and the rest of the crew, I offer you the best of the Class of 1987!The Cosby Show By its third season, Denise was just about to show off her Angel Heart (and more), Rudy ...

South BeachSo Miami Vice doesn't need to worry: It's still the coolest show set in South Florida ever. Well, Miami Vice and Golden Girls. Possibly Good Morning, Miami. OK, just kidding on that last one. Anyway, sorry J.Lo, but your show is pretty much beauty and the beat.

One wants to track down his model ex-girlfriend. The other wants to track down girls, money and power, not necessarily in that order. And shock u
