Another show of mine I watched regularly as a kid, just before or after the wall came down. Hard to say nowadays. It's been so long. In Germany we had an addition to the title: The glorious Two. Don't ask, I can't remember! Cast: Michael Paré - Sgt. Joey La Fiamma Michael Beck - Sgt. Levon Lundy Robyn Douglass - Lt. Joanne Beaumont John Hancock - Clarence and others Pilot ( Mirrors): Chicago Cop La Fiamma is transferred to Houston after his partner is killed by the mob. He gets partnered up with Lundy, a Texas original, who has his own demons. After getting to know each other through a fist fight, they form a strong relationship yet still clash as being from two different worlds - which is the truth. lol As I refer to the series now as the show with the two Michaels. Sadly it only lasted two short seasons, 30 or 31 episodes in total. Some pics again: This is where Michael Paré still looked good and Michael Beck, wow. By the way, Paré is almost ten years younger than Beck. Next episode then tomorrow!

I remember this one as well.
There was a character named Annie, in a wheelchair. She was played by Madlyn Rhue, best known as Marla McGivers, the woman who stole Khan's heart in the Classic Trek episode, Space Seed. At this point, she was suffering from MS, which is why she was in that wheelchair (and this is why she wasn't in The Wrath Of Khan movie, they didn't want to recast the character, so Marla died offscreen).

Ah okay. I just started so I haven't seen her yet. Today's episode: North of the BorderA D.A. from Houston named Farnham goes to Mexico for young girls and agrees to work with bad guys. A Sergeant from there follows the man to Houston and is back in jail. After Beaumont speaks with his boss, he's teamed up with La Fiamma and Lundy. Let's just say, both parties are not happy but after Farnham goes after their Mexican colleague, they trick him finally and give him over to Mexico. Some pics again: Obviously not that much pics around but I'll do my best, daily. Tomorrow new and/or old episode.

Thanks, but it's really hard with pics for the episodes. Today's episode: Houston's HeroA cop named Benson saves a girl from her kidnappers and is claimed a hero, yet for some reason La Fiamma gets suspicious. He's having a hard time at the precinct to get his partner Lundy and other cops to agree with him. But in the end, he was right and Benson was crooked, wanted to leave even his wife behind. So, both lied to her, saying that he was coming back to her. Nice. One pic only: - a familiar face "A-Team" greets Not that much, sorry. Tomorrow then a new one!

Well, this show was made over 30 years ago, before the Internet.
Probably one of the reasons that pictures are so hard to find.

But it differs very from series to series. Sometimes a lot pictures out there, and sometimes, like here, nothing.

Probably depends on how well known the series is.

Obviously. Well, in some cases there will be no pictures at all. Today's episode: Single in HeavenA serial killer is on the loose, and one of the victims is a friend of Levon's. Danni, a novice journalist overheads Joe & Levon talking and prints what she heard Joe say. The killer connects with Joe, invading his home, his work, and even proving he can get in and out of Danni's apartment without her knowledge. The showdown comes at Levon's ranch where the killer intends to kill Levon and Joe and take over Joe's personality. (taken from trakt.tv/shows/houston-knights) This was getting on Joe's nerves as the killer became him. At least Levon got him finally. No pics this time. Stay tuned for new episode tomorrow!

Yeah, well, as said, I do my best here with the pics. Today's episode: Yesterday's goneBoth cops are confronted with their past. In Levon's case as a connection to an old friend who was getting shot at, yet refused to offer why. In Joey's case, his still active connection to the Chicago mob as being part of his family, making him a target for the FBI as a killer from Chicago is in Houston. However, both cases are connected and this makes the partnership not easier but they get through. In the end, both lose the connections: Lundy's friend is dead, and La Fiamma has no contact anymore to the Chicago mob. One pic only: More then tomorrow again!!

I certainly don't remember all episodes. Been so long. Today's episode: Bad GirlStory: At a rich boy's party, things suddenly turn deadly when someone dies of laced cocaine. One of the party girls makes a play for LaFiamma. As Joe is turned on more and more by this girl, he begins to get romantically involved with her. Lundy tries to tell his partner that the woman is just playing with him for kicks, but Joe won't listen. Joe soon learns however that the lady deals in drugs and is very dangerous to be around. Her father's wealth and connections has kept her from being prosecuted until some video tapes turn up indicating just what her role really is. (taken from trakt.tv/shows/houston-knights) As a guest star, especially for you, Tim, a certain LeVar Burton, young and innocent. No pics again, sorry. Tomorrow another episode then.

Hehe but he was certainly recognizable. Today's episode: Scarecrow Story: A motorcycle cop is murdered during a traffic stop. A young black man named Scarecrow says he witnessed it. The Knights find him and put him in a safe house, but the young man flees, so they put him in a jail cell and he ends up dead. A young social worker clashes with the boys over how the case was handled, and during the ensuing investigation it is discovered that she is the one who actually saw the killing not Scarecrow. In the end, she identifies the killer. (taken from trakt.tv/shows/houston-knights) As a guest star here, a certain Miguel Ferrer. May he rest in peace! Again, no pics. Sorry! Tomorrow then the last episode of S1 with only 8 episodes in total!
