In latest ep of the Rolling Thunder video-podcast, Mike from The Rewatch Project with Hannah and Mike , we will look at the pilot episode of one of the lesser known Stephen J. Cannell actioners of the 80's with the lighthearted 'everything but the kitchen sink' buddy-detective show 'Riptide'
This video first appeared on its own channel but from here on out, all future eps will be on The Rewatch Project Channel.
Join host Mike from ChinStroker VS Punter as he looks at this super-fun action TV show of the 1980's, through the prism of its pilot episode.
Riptide is an American detective television series that ran on NBC from January 3, 1984, to April 22, 1986, starring Perry King, Joe Penny, and Thom Bray.
The series was created by Frank Lupo and Stephen J. Cannell, and produced by Stephen J. Cannell Productions in association with Columbia Pictures Television for NBC. The main theme was composed by Mike Post and Pete Carpenter. A midseason replacement, it debuted as a two-hour TV movie in early 1984. After its cancellation, reruns were aired on the USA Network during the late 1980s. The series currently appears occasionally on the schedules of getTV and Decades.
Badass vehicles, memorable theme tunes, awesome catch-phrases and car-flipping excitement: the action TV shows of the 80's had it all.
Join Mike from the 'Chin Stroker VS Punter' and 'Rewatch Project' podcasts as he takes an affectionate and nostalgic look, from a UK perspective, of the shows that were as big a part of his generation's childhood, as the adventure serials and westerns were for the previous ones.
