Bernay's Cafe - a 1980s letterzine

Back in the old days, fans of TV shows would create newsletters or "letterzines".  There were newspaper clippings and other notes, but the bulk of the letterzine was letters written in by fans.  Basically a primitive message board.  I had no idea this world existed.  It's pretty cool that people had a venue for chatting about Vice before the World Wide Web was invented!    :thumbsup:

Excerpts from the letterzine named "Bernay's Cafe" have been posted here:

I'm surprised Cooper&Burnett didn't have these in his collection of memorabilia.  Have these ever shown up on eBay?

Issue 10 in May 1987 has a section "Definitely Miami Viced - A report on a visit to Miami and the set of the show with photographs."  This is our own DJAngel telling the story of her first visit to Miami.  She re-posted the same story:

An amazingly prescient comment written before S4 had started:

Quote

Yes, I feel Sonny will cross the line in fourth season, it would make compelling watching and it could be done over several episodes. I don't think MV would make the mistake of waving a magic wand either and making all better in one episode. He's gone too far, there's got to be a huge crack now. Everyone could have a big part to play, too.Discussing the chances of him making it back and how they could help him. I love humor, too, but having Crockett all hunky dory fourth season, after all he suffered in third season seems weird to me - but knowing fans, they'll write the missing stories themselves!
