This Week In Miami Vice History

[mvnyc]

December 30th - January 5th:

 

"Milk Run", the 12th episode of the 1st season, premiered on NBC on Friday, January 4th, 1985 at 10PM EST. Some notes on this episode (from Miami Vice Wiki):

* Gina and Trudy do not appear in this episode.

* This was the first episode where Crockett and Tubbs do a coin toss to decide who goes where.

* By definition, a "Milk Run" is "a routine trip involving stops at many places."

* In the scene where Eddie is killed, the picture flickers quite distractingly, probably because the scene was not originally intended to be shown in slow motion and was not shot using a high-speed camera; as a result, when the footage was slowed down, some of the breaks in the film can be seen as black 'flashes'.

* After Eddie is shot and crashes through the glass display case, you can see several Atari 2600 cartridges on the floor, including "Super Breakout" and "Yar's Revenge."

* The Senator Hotel (where Louis and Eddie arrange their drug deal) was demolished in October, 1988 to make room for a parking garage.

* Another hotel Crockett and Tubbs pass by, the Revere Hotel, was demolished in 1993 by fashion designer Giovanni Versace to build the pool for his home, Casa Casuarina.

* Crockett doesn't actually eat his hot dog, but (instead) drops it behind the seat of Sloan's sports car.
