Phil Collins

Made films the shows talk about.

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.

Hill Street Blues (1981): 1 line

lineage (lineage) · through Miami Vice - Pilot (Brother's Keeper) (1984), which they scored: Hill Street Blues ⇒ Miami Vice - Pilot (Brother's Keeper) (the host's read). Hill Street Blues raised TV through writing and performance; Miami Vice added the cinematic look on top of that standard.
“try to write, like, Hill Street blues level scripts and have real grounded performances and make it all look fucking awesome.”

Game of Thrones (2011): 1 line
