A bit overrated, but still an amazing film

The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

This lasted several years despite the late hour it was on.Like a lot of 80's crime dramas, it looked cold. Both physically and figuratively. This isn't a bad thing though. And the (obviously) low budget actually worked in it's favor. Gritty during a time when 'slick' was in.Allan Royal's wraparound segments as the news writer gave it a slight edge.The only actors I remembered were Scott Nylands (Earthquake) and Tony Rosato (SCTV). The cast of barely knowns was a good thing because one could see the group as a whole and not as a bunch of people supporting a 'star.' And yes, that's a young Clark Johnson (Homicide) in a recurring spot.I hope a DVD release is in the future. Someone out there wanna get on that?

I Feel the Niiiiiight Heat! I feel your HEEAAAAAAAAAART-beat! Something ain't right!" Theme song written by B.J. Cook from Skylark- David Foster's old band and wife. She also wrote the memorable theme from CBC's "Airwaves." OH Night Heat! What a program! Well-written, well-acted and totally classic. Crime solvers and a good team and a dash of humour at the end. I'd like to think this is really what detectives do/did. Giambone was a real favourite! On a Canadian tip, I learned EVERY Canadian actor's name and style from guest spots done on Night Heat. Everyone passed through the Night Heat set and like Law & Order, it was story-driven so you could just watch and enjoy without a lot of character melodrama.

This showed the gritty side of police work in a big metropolitan city. I watched every single episode and Scott Hylands and Jeff Wincott had superb chemistry. The one line that stuck with me was, "Something ain't right." This line was incorporated into Domenic Troiano's theme song and was used regularly by nearly all the detectives. I know , it sounds hokey, but that was the tag line that kept you watching. I wish someone would release these shows on DVD, I would be the first in line to get them. Every episode kept me glued to the screen. In my area I could see the same episode twice in a night because I could watch it on two different stations. One would show it an hour later than the other. If I missed something first time I could catch it second time around.

Night Heat was an awesome police TV drama show. I liked the actors and they were well casted for their roles. Thats true that Jeff Wincott did not get much better roles as I thought he might get at the time. I was sure he will. Instead, this series started off well for other people and other shows.. such as several Law & Order series and NYPD. Night Heat was the pioneer of more realistic drama police show than others prior or during Night Heat.Clarke Johnson was the actor from the series went on to another realistic police drama Homicide TV Series.Yes, I agree that the series was filmed in Toronto since I recoginized so many places in this wonderful city near my birthtown in Upstate NY. This series brought more closer to home than Law & Order since the background and lifestyle was close to my hometown (Appx. 4 hours drive).I would love to see reunion shows but I was disappointed not seeing the series in closed captioned for hearing impaired.The series was on at the right time since I was busy in evenings and I was settled into bed watching the series.This series really showed alot of hard work to make it successful made by the Canadians and I really liked their style of programming. Sadly, I dont see much of our neighbor's shows in the states. It would be nice to have their network aired in the states!One drawback I didnt like that they had repeating guest stars playing roles of villians or victims. Perhaps there was a reason for this that I do not know.Overall, the series was a 5 star out of 5. Why? It showed at different time (night time) of the detectives. That is original!
