Draws on

What the speakers say they, or a film of theirs, drew on. Each is a speaker's account: “the maker said so” when they report the maker's own words, “the host's read” when the read is theirs.

MTV: 1 line

  1. industry (industry) · through Miami Vice (1984), which they acted in: MTV ⇒ Miami Vice (the host's read). The show began as the legendary 'MTV cops' pitch from an NBC executive.
    “he wrote a brainstorming memo that read MTV cops.”

Drawn on by

What the speakers say drew on them or a film of theirs, marked the same way.

ER (1994): 1 line

  1. lineage (lineage) · through Miami Vice (1984), which they acted in: Miami Vice ⇒ ER (the host's read). Miami Vice's influence made TV look like Mann movies; ER's steadicam is where that finishes.
    “An ER, you've got steady cam shots and that's when it's really done and dusted.”
