I thought it was something like "Bustenhalter" or bosom-holder. Dang it. High school German class made me incorrectly gigglous. Anyway "Bustier" looks more Francophone to me.

yeah. "Brassiere" = Büstenhalter, "bra" = B.H. (pronounced "bay haw")

It was a big deal when we learned that word in seventh grade. Run up to the girls, "Hallo, Sarah, trägst du eine B.H.???" *run away giggling*

Reminder that Homer is only supposed to be around 225-250 in weight.

yeah i think in the episode where he becomes disabled due to weight, he starts out at 239 (and is disabled at 300 lbs).

the median american man today weighs 196lbs.

Yeah, heart attacks are very survivable these days if you catch it fast (say, when you are on an airplane surrounded by people instead of at home alone) and you have good supportive care (as a wealthy movie star does).

they broke the NYC cab drivers' strike on JFK airport, implying that they support the illegal immigration order that the cab drivers were striking against. Or at least that they intended to profit from it.

they're poo poo.

Yeah, it is. It's from the pilot episode of Miami Vice, which was one of the first TV shows to be shot in that film-like cinematographic style, and also one of the first to use contemporary popular music on its soundtrack. At the time, no one had seen anything like that in a TV show before, and it became a watershed moment in the perception of television as a dramatic medium.

Should I loving watch miami vice? Like, was the whole show good or was it just that episode or that scene and the rest was mediocre garbage? Becase that scene made me wanna check it out, but i asked myself "why aren't more people talking about going back and watching it if it were that good?"

You know how Aliens and Die Hard basically created the modern action movie genre, so when you show them to someone today who hasn't seen them they're like "this is the most clichéd poo poo ever" but that's because those movies invented those clichés in the first place?

Miami Vice is that for two things: the high-budget high-stakes cop show, and the visual style of the mid-1980s. It created the cop show where the policemen make morally questionable decisions, where they don't always get their man, where police force and political corruption stops investigations. And the image of the pastel suits, the feathered blond hair, the neon lights, the white Ferrari -- the show created that style, not the other way around.

Some of the episodes are dumb and meant to be comedic, and you'll have to get past the problem with two "undercover" police officers driving around in a white Testarossa and showing up at every drug bust in Miami for five years and somehow never blowing their cover. And eventually the show suffers from the raising-the-stakes problem that every TV show does, so it builds up from Tubbs loading his shotgun in the car in the pilot episode, to Bruce Willis blowing up an airplane with a rocket launcher a few seasons in.

Oh, yeah, there are a lot of roles played by celebrities before they were famous, too. In particular, I really like Edward James Olmos' Lt. Castillo, who shows up halfway through the first season and becomes the best character on the show.

I enjoy the show a lot and I'd say yes, take a look at it keeping in mind that it was the progenitor of all the clichés you'll see, not an imitator.
