Heat: Review

Writer-director Michael Mann (Ali) stirs the urban crime drama from its postmodern repose by infusing the thematic elements of a classic Western into a generic, cops-and-robbers tale. The results are thrilling. Together for the first time since The Godfather, Part II, Al Pacino and Robert De Niro star as a cop and a robber, respectively, who are engaged in violent battle of wits. The streets of L.A. is their battleground.

Question: Do you remember a show with, I think, the guy from Highway to Heaven and a black actor that was sort of a comedy version of In the Heat of the Night? It's driving me nuts.

Answer: Yes.

Aaaah, you didn't really think I was gonna stop at being a wiseacre and answer your question with one word, did you? You'll never so easily curb my urge to babble, Joon.

Funny you use the word "nuts," since the show in question, ABC's Carter Country, bore the name of former peanut farmer Jimmy Carter, who was president at the time it debuted in September 1977. As you say, it bore a strong resemblance to In the Heat of the Night, which 10 years later would be a hit TV series itself.
