All three of these shows were on my radar, although I followed none religiously. I don't think I saw any of Miami Vice although you couldn't avoid knowing what it looked and sounded like--I have the vague idea that they didn't reflect the pastel-suit-and-three-day-stubble look but started it, that (some!) people started dressing to look like them. Square Pegs I think I saw a few episodes of, but I was a little old for it; now, of course, I would totally watch it. And I remember Rhoda pretty well, especially Carlton. (I remember thinking that the building did not look nice enough for a doorman, even a perpetually out-to-lunch one.) But I'm not sure the married Rhoda and Joe wouldn't have been able to afford a penthouse--wasn't Joe something in construction? I think at that time anything to do with construction still meant mob connections. (This was not something from the show, just something that for a long time New Yorkers assumed. Looking to DC, this might explain whose behavior Trump's is being modeled on...)

Rachel, yeah, they started it. They also started the myth that Miami was all full of pastel buildings. In the Anthony Bourdain Parts Unknown episode about Miami they talk about how Miami Vice painted all of these basically abandoned, then, beachside buildings in light hues. Weird stuff.
Dave Brodbeck
The power of image!

hey guys first of all nice having you back. but next time u take this long im going to hunt you down at your doors. and say surprise and eat you out of house and home for payback. now for Rhoda i remember the wedding and the divorce but I wanted to beat the crap out of joe after what he said . we could have taken turns punching him greg. and I also do remember the beaded door that 70s thing greg from the brady bunch had one of those in his room in the attic square pegs loved it lot of hot girls some of my favs Jamie gertz tracy ,nelson, sjp, but I agree with you though dave freaks and geeks was great tracy nelson was also sister steve on father dowling mysteries with tom bosely as father dowling I got the complete series box set of that show on dvd. well anyway I warned you what was going to happen if u take another long break so beware lol Jamie.
