Welcome back to our series Rembert Explains the ’80s. Every so often, we'll e-mail 25-year-old Rembert Browne a video from the 1980s that he hasn't seen. Rembert will write down his thoughts as he's watching it, then we'll post those thoughts here. This week's installment was selected by Hollywood Prospectus editor Mark Lisanti: Airwolf. If you have an idea for a future episode of Rembert Explains the '80s, e-mail us at hollywood@grantland.com.

0:01 What is Airwolf? I don't know, but I like this title, "Daddy's Gone a Hunt'n."

0:09 Two helicopter pilots. The older actor is familiar, but I can't figure out from where because they've got helmets on. Also, what is an "Airwolf"?

0:19 Slow start, gentlemen. Why aren't you shooting things out of the air yet? Where are the aliens?

0:24 This is about as boring as Flight Simulator so far. Do better, Airwolf.

Years ago, stipple-happy Spy magazine brother-cartoonists Drew and Josh Alan Friedman prophesized a mid-21st-century Baltimore in which everyone, mysteriously, looks exactly like Ernest Borgnine. A whole Charm City of Ernests, beetle-browed and gap-toothed and more than vaguely simian, complaining — aww, Christ — about their corns.

This was sort of perfect, as no famous person has ever more closely resembled his or her Friedman caricature than Borgnine, who died of renal failure over the weekend at age 95. And yet in real life, it seems unlikely we'll see another Borgnine onscreen, or anything close.
