summer84 Posted August 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2016 (edited) I came across this interview a few days ago and also an "after the fame" look back on "Vice" The part about MV ends at 11:37, but the whole interview is interesting. Especially Don mentioning how "Sometimes Michael Mann would send first time directors, who knew very little about filmmaking."

That is something I noticed the number of directors they used on the show was huge - some of course went on to direct and produce feature films. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wasnt there for Season 5 as Peter McCabe became the Executive Story Editor ( he first wrote "Love at First Sight" from Season 4 ) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airtommy Posted August 23, 2016 Report Share Posted August 23, 2016 Wow, that writer worked on many shows I watched - Vice, Crime Story, Wiseguy, Midnight Caller. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
summer84 Posted August 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2016 (edited) I haven't watched those before, (other than MV) but I watched some other shows, I discovered, he also wrote for/created Xena, Hercules and a little of the TV show JAG.

AzVice Posted August 23, 2016 Report Share Posted August 23, 2016 I don't know about other people but I always read the credits . it's interesting to see names from different shows (and sometimes recycled storylines by those people. If you've watched Magnum P.I. and NCIS there was a big one this past season ) for instance, ken solarz who wrote for Miami vice and crime story, now produces Hawaii Five-0. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AzVice Posted August 23, 2016 Report Share Posted August 23, 2016 I noticed years ago Carlton Cuse wrote a couple episodes of Crime Story, then was a big part of Nash Bridges. he's done a lot since. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt5 Posted August 24, 2016 Report Share Posted August 24, 2016 (edited) Some of the Season 5 writing staff is interesting. There was Ken Solarz we mentioned previouly and the Season seemed to be run by Robert Ward and Scott Shepherd. Peter McCabe was promoted to Executive Story Editor for this dark hard -edged Season Scott Shepherd came from Matt Houston and The Equalizer- whereas Robert Ward was not only credited with being Co-Executive Producer of Season 5 he wrote on average 1 in 3 or 4 episodes . Robert Ward was a writer earlier with Hill Street Blues. Edited August 24, 2016 by Matt5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
