Here’s the best of the live twatter from our first evening with Remington Steele. We fawned over Pierce’s hair, worshipped Stephanie’s fedora and planned future drinking games about old movie references. Good times were had by all.

Stephanie Zimbalist wore the fedora because the network thought she was “too young and cute” to play a P.I. #Bond_age_TV #SteeleTweet

ok, everytime some air quotes “Remington Steele” I’m gonna take a shot. #Bond_age_TV #SteeleTweet

I used to think James Read was adorable. And then, years later, he became the evil redneck, Clyde Weston, on Days of Our Lives. #Bond_age_TV

Steele was a Bogart fan.He has 5 passports from 5 countries in 5 different names, all of which are characters played by Bogart. #bond_age_tv

Pay close attention to Brosnan’s range of facial expressions. His “surprise” face is golden and makes regular appearances in RS #Bond_age_TV
— The #Bond_age_ Guy (@007hertzrumble) June 2, 2016
the feather of her hair is amazing. #Bond_age_TV
— Anna (@AnnaRenee) June 2, 2016
@007hertzrumble @fallonthornley Fun fact: the original title of the series was Witty Banter. #Bond_age_TV

“He brought me a magnum. And then I stopped at the market and got him a magnum…the ice cream bar you pervert!” #Bond_age_TV

Let’s say magnum a few more times. #Bond_age_TV

Poor Miss Bernice Foxe, he constantly calls her Wolf. I think after awhile on purpose. #RemingtonSteele #Bond_age_TV

@deacon05oc a tie with that shirt might change your mind #Bond_age_TV #SteeleTweet
— Campbelldropout (@campbelldropout) June 2, 2016
this other Mr Pierson’s hair is not even close to the right fluff level…#JustSayin #Bond_age_TV

Type “Fetish for Secrecy” into Google. Click on Images. I dare you. #Bond_age_TV
— Keith Bodayla (@theactualkeith) June 2, 2016
Banter & interaction very similar to a Cary Grant comedy of the 30’s & 40’s & poor Murphy is Ralph Bellamy. #Bond_age_TV #RemingtonSteele
— Pam (@fallonthornley) June 2, 2016
@theactualkeith More spy work is contained within this scene of RS as Brosnan’s entire Bond career. #Bond_age_TV #SteeleTweet
— The #Bond_age_ Guy (@007hertzrumble) June 2, 2016
The hotel scene does 2 things really well. The intelligence of Brosnan’s character & the stupidity of Murphy – leaving tags on. #Bond_age_TV
— Keith Bodayla (@theactualkeith) June 2, 2016
I wonder how does Brosnan keep that hair as it is throughout the decades. Does he use blood magic? #Bond_age_TV #SteeleTweet
— Eric Jones (@deacon05oc) June 2, 2016
The director of first RS episodes believed that when you “have people this beautiful you let the camera linger…” #Bond_age_TV #SteeleTweet

“We need to put out an APB on a guy with a British accent, he’s really handsome, loves Bogart, and he’s got great eyes.” #Bond_age_TV
— Keith Bodayla (@theactualkeith) June 2, 2016
@007hertzrumble She usually looks great in that show but sometimes the 80s are just going to 80.
— nick (@vossbrink) June 2, 2016
Did that hurt? Because Pierce just dropped 10 tons of m’f’ing knowledge. #Bond_age_TV #SteeleTweet
— The #Bond_age_ Guy (@007hertzrumble) June 2, 2016
After that last swipe I feel like I should be watching a couple of droids wandering across Tatooine. #Bond_age_TV
— Canucklehead (@GregMcCambley) June 2, 2016
NO ONE ASKED YOUR OPINION, MURPHY. #Bond_age_TV
— Anna (@AnnaRenee) June 2, 2016
He’s such a civilized conman. He even “liberates” his jewels. #Bond_age_TV #SteeleTweet
— The #Bond_age_ Guy (@007hertzrumble) June 2, 2016
Damn Stephanie has some nice traps. #Bond_age_TV #SteeleTweet

.@campbelldropout googled “Pierce Brosnan chest hair” for the good of the live twatter. #Bond_age_TV #SteeleTweet https://t.co/w83apuFYn3

#RemingtonSteele was produced by Mary Tyler Moore & Grant Tinker’s production company. Logo a meowing kitten above initials MTM #Bond_age_TV
— Pam (@fallonthornley) June 2, 2016
For #RemingtonSteele the logo was altered by adding a Sherlock Holmes hat & pipe to the kitten . #Bond_age_TV pic.twitter.com/YiSVIeLlU1

S1 E2 – “Tempered Steele”
RS E2, “Tempered Steele,” aired on October 8, 1982 but was actually the first episode filmed. #Bond_age_TV #SteeleTweet
— The #Bond_age_ Guy (@007hertzrumble) June 2, 2016
This being the “pilot” it was re-edited after “License to Steele” became the origin story. #Bond_age_TV #SteeleTweet
— The #Bond_age_ Guy (@007hertzrumble) June 2, 2016
The woman to thank for my love of Remington Steele is my mother, Colleen. She loved it & chose to watch it instead of cartoons. #Bond_age_TV
— Keith Bodayla (@theactualkeith) June 2, 2016
I would ask her to join us for Episode 2, but while she is somewhat tech savvy, we don’t have the time to explain Twitter. #Bond_age_TV
— Keith Bodayla (@theactualkeith) June 2, 2016
Also, I don’t want my mother to see me making dick jokes online. #Bond_age_TV
— Keith Bodayla (@theactualkeith) June 2, 2016
This RS theme from Henry Mancini is instant warm and fuzzies for me. #Bond_age_TV #SteeleTweet

Oh, come on, Remington. You couldn’t have paid for a Quarter Pounder with Cheese out of pocket? #Bond_age_TV

“Never bite. Only nibble.” This is so much Bond. #Bond_age_TV #SteeleTweet

“Very well, Miss Whatever.”
I really need to try that line on my wife. #Bond_age_TV #SteeleTweet

Love how in the span of a month, they had all these pictures taken and photoshopped for his office. #Bond_age_TV

Casablanca referenced!! More Bogart. #RemingtonSteele #Bond_age_TV

Wow Stephanie Zimbalist is gorgeous even when eating a turkey sandwich. #Bond_age_TV #SteeleTweet

Why does everything have “international” in front of it? Can’t be local? #RemingtonSteele #Bond_age_TV
— Pam (@fallonthornley) June 2, 2016
This line served as introduction to Pierce Brosnan as Remington Steele. It did it for me. #SteeleTweet #Bond_age_TV https://t.co/fbqypHax4U

I’m certainly glad this wasn’t the true premiere, but Pierce’s comic skills are certainly showcased in E2. #Bond_age_TV #SteeleTweet

The show that makes lock picking seem so simple #Bond_age_TV #SteeleTweet

@SoxOnTheBrain Damn. I feel a little responsible since I was a Braves fan. #Bond_age_TV #SteeleTweet

Judging the way she’s dressed, Miss Fox is overdue for her shift on the Visitor mothership. #Bond_age_TV

I feel like this episode could use some Jai alai to put it right over the top. #Bond_age_TV #SteeleTweet

The will-they-won’t-they of Remington Steele would have suckered me so bad! Once a shipper, always a shipper. #SteeleTweet #Bond_age_TV
