This is the game where we show you a picture from something TV-related and you have to guess what the heck it is. This is from the opening of a TV show that I loved. What show is it from and who are these ladies waving to? Answer in the comments later tonight.Answer: yup, it's from Riptide, which ran on NBC for three seasons starting in 1984.

Screaming Mimi
Screaming Mimi
Screaming Mimi
Screaming Mimi
My brain just loves the sounds of that...
And oh yeah, Riptide was THE BOMB.
blast it. curse my memory. I had Simon & Simon mixed up with Riptide.
or was it the other way around?
Why can't they just rerun great old shows like Riptide instead of yet another stupid reality show? Shows like that were simple entertainment.

Yeah - the chopper was nicknamed The Screamin' Mimi, and they traveled in a GMC Jimmy that had the roof removed ala Bronco II.
I was too late to say Riptide! But it's good to know I wasn't alone in loving this show.

Awesome! The first thing I thought of was either RIPTIDE or MAGNUM P.I., but I really thought it was RIPTIDE.

July 29 2009 at 1:28 PM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down ReplyI do believe it's a scene from the theme song of the Stephen Cannell series "Riptide".
