Hill Street Blues
Magnum PI
Hint: One was from a cop show, the other a detective show
Thanks for the hint, it at least gave me some something to try and make an educated guess. Hill Street Blues I think had a big deal theme and I know they were in 81 because I'd watch Cheers on my portable tv in my $225/mo apartment and then when I heard the HSB theme I knew it was time to go and make the donuts.... As for Magnum? He's the only early 80s detective I can think of (other than Simon & Simon and I can't remember their theme song). Scads of them in the 70s, but then everything went cops and lawyers.

Why do I even remember that name crap? I'm just a sucker for royal weddings, I guess.
Fun Fact: Andrew and Sarah are practically living together these days and would probably get married again, except they don't want to incur the wrath of Prince Philip, who can't stand her.

Dolby? Doppler? Something like that
Although if it was Doppler, shouldn't he have been playing Radar Love? Ha! And Dolby just because of the whole sound/boombox thing. I've never ever seen this stupid movie.
