106.0. "SIRENS" by BUSY::KVILLANI () Sat Apr 10 1993 03:20

    Has anyone been watching "Sirens" since it first aired about 3 weeks
    ago?  I love it.  It is about three woman who I believe they first met
    in the Police Acedemy and they became best friends. Coincidently being
    assigned to the same Police Department.  Becuase it is so new still, I
    cannot remember there names. But we'll say Officer A is a divorced
    mother of two not currently dating.  Officer B is currently married but
    her marriage is falling apart, and her husband has had an affair. Plus
    she is kind of attracted to her male partner at the Police Department.
    Officer C is not married or dating anyone (although if anyone saw last
    weeks episode it was a killer it was sooooo funny.)  and she comes from
    a family of Police Officers.  They are paired up with male partners,
    except one (Officer C) she is paired up with a female officer.
    
    It is really good becuase it blends humor with alot of drama as well.
    The second episode showed one of the officers I think it was Offier
    B get punched right in the face while handcuffing a criminal, there was
    blood all over her face. Sometimes it has been a little graphic, real
    though.
    
    Anyone else out there watch this show?  If not and you like Hill Street
    Blues or Cagney and Lacey you have to watch this....almost reminds me
    of "Sisters" but they are cops.

    Geez Dianne... I was starting to get nervous that no onw else watched
    it.  I'm hoping the ratings are better than it seems to be here.	
    
    I loved last nights episode.  I could not believe Whelan making a move
    on Lyn's potential beau, and then when she is told off by her, and
    called a slut in so many words, she then puts the move on Dan.  Which I
    guess Dan is not married, and Sarah really was not pursuing too much.
    But it did make you believe they may have fooled around in his car. 
    I kind of felt bad for Sarah.  
    
    Geez this show is turninig into a soap opera......

106.3Where'd it go?MILPND::CLARK_DSat May 22 1993 08:029
    
    Do you know if this show is on anymore?  I checked the TV guide and
    couldn't find it listed.  
    
    I thought maybe due to the Wild Palms series but I'm not sure.
    
    Thanks,

    I read last weeks TV Guide about the Nielsons Best and Worst and the
    whole list of TV shows from #1 to 118.  Well, Sirens came in #40,
    beating Melrose Place, Beverly Hills, and Sisters, which are all my
    other favorites as well.  I was surprised to see Melrose in at 89.
    Well, I guess if they plan on bringing back Beverly Hills, Sisters,
    and Melrose, then this show will be back or I rather "should" be back
    in the fall.  I still like it alot.

106.8Rating squeAIMT::PETERSBe nice or be dog foodTue Jun 08 1993 09:025
    Fox shows only in a fraction of the ratings markets so the ratings
    for FOX show do not compare with other shows. The Simpsons never made it
    into the top ten but beat then 1st place Cosby show in every major
    market. Sisters has been having bad rating this year.

    These past couple of shows I for one have enjoyed alot.  Especially the
    character (Molly Whelan) who has the woman training officer.  She is a
    riot!!  So far this show is doing excellent in the ratings.  I hope to
    see it get renewed.  It seems to be one of those shows that if you only
    watch a couple of shows you won't really get into it.  But if you
    continue to watch the show, characters, and storylines build, it seems
    you kind of attach to it. I know I have, I guess probably because I
    have always loved cop shows.
    
    I loved the ending when Whelan went into the hospital to get stitches
    on her arm and the Dr. attempted to give her a "physical exam" way out
    of line... she punched him and is screaming "Pervert! No one touches
    me there or like that unless I know about it!!!!!" You gross pervert."
    It was a riot, there she is in her hospital gown wrestling this Doctor,
    and all the other patients in the ER are looking.
