I am so convinced people on tumblr would like Remington Steele if they watched it. Like it's about a highly intelligent and ambitious woman who cons misogynists into hiring her detective company and has an extensive collection of fedoras. It's also about a pretty boy with a tragic backstory who pulls heists for a living and navigates every situation by comparing it to an old hollywood movie. And then they have a five season long situationship.
Years and years ago, when zines were still published on paper, before Xena and Gabrielle exploded femslash, when the dinosaurs walked the earth…
I once owned a zine that had stories set in a universe where Amanda King (Scarecrow & Mrs. King) and Laura Holt (Remington Steel) were cousins. Their mothers were identical twins (both characters were played by Beverly Garland).
There were several other shows tied into that Universe - though I can’t remember which.
Wait the WKRP people were in there too based on a connection through character Andy Travis who really looked like Lee Stetson (Scarecrow)
Oh and I had to send away for this zine with you know cash in an envelope with a stamp. Somewhere in New Jersey, I think.
Laura Holt: I'm creating this fictional boss for myself, peak blorbo, detailed, perfect in every way.
Also Laura Holt: I'm naming him using the 80s equivalent of those meme naming games like "the name of your next pet is the first thing by your left and your favorite metal"
