Episode #40 "The Fix "

[apocalypse]

Been watching these again and for me, many times the acting of the co-stars determines how good the episode is. While the plot itself isn't very interesting, the acting is very good in this episode. Judge Ferguson is superb, Berlioz is excellent, Benedict is very good, etc. 

This is a solid, quality episode. As someone said earlier the meeting of Ferguson and Crockett on the park bench was very well acted. 

I give this a 7.

I have to disagree and say the inverse. I think the plotline was good but the acting was weak. But I agree on 7/10!

Does anybody know what the elevated platform is all about?

It's the monorail at the zoo.  They're removing it.

I think Bill Russell starts off a bit below par but he gets better and better.

He is believable character, and that is what matters most to me.

I give "The Fix" a 9/10

This is what I think as well. I didn't expect a EJO performance from him, but he was believable in his role.

Exactly, the only actor that is a bit suspect is his son but even he puts in a good scene, like the one where he says to his father "why did you gamble"

I think "The Fix" is underrated.

And as I recall the son was actually another basketball player as opposed to an actor. I think "The FIx" is another of Vice's more period episodes. People who weren't around to experience some of the point-shaving scandals and such during the late '80s aren't going to appreciate it as much.

Bernard King, star of the New York Knicks at the time.

Russell was doing TV broadcasts at the time. Listen to his weird comment about 'the race track'  This is a late 1986 game.

Was he thinking of Judge Ferguson perhaps?  LOL
