Behind the scenes of "The Prodigal Son." PMT and first assistent director Marty Eli Schwartz on the left. Crew members occasionally made a brief appearance on the show.

Miami, around 1984-85, Port of Miami bridge in the foreground. The Bayside mall has not been built and the landfill in front of it has not been done, that nails the date before 1985 (we see a scene there in opening credits of Nobody lives forever)

You should absolutely watch it, like Ferrariman said it's all about the swinging 60's, which also takes the form of a psychological mystery. In the lead role you will recognize David Hemmings who also starred in "Deep Red". I know that you are a big Dario Argento fan

An intriguing theory! I tend to believe this episode was dreamed up in response to the writers' strike that was going on at the time, and had sent nearly all regular TV shows into reruns. But, I don't know that there's any solid proof either way. It's a more solid episode than most "clip" shows and I like it for the bits that reveal Gina's feelings.

It's London in the 60's. Sex, drugs and rock and roll. I don't remember a lot of it but to watch the trailer again it looks very dated. If nothing else, it's a very good representation of the times.

Long gone 21 Street Pizza, it was next to the "21 Street Cinema" sign visible in teasers of Little Prince and Florence Italy, the "Gayety Burlesque" establishment and close to then famous Wolfie´s on the corner. I lived across that block in the early 90s when the signs were still there. All razed later.

Little prince

It was done I believe during a writer’s strike…so in order to try and still boast a “new” episode during that time, they created one that would involve flashback scenes from previous episodes. I’m sure a lot of the flashbacks were purposely chosen as “action” ones…to try and keep it from getting too boring. I actually watched most of Seasons 1-3 when they first aired. It was towards the end of 3 and on, that I kind of got out of watching the show. So I didn’t see every single episode of Seasons 4-5 until TV Land reruns, around 2004-05 (although I too did occasionally watch some of the first reruns on the USA Network in the early 90s). However, I did watch the finale when it originally aired. This is not really one of my favorite episodes for sure…but, I do understand now why it was done, and the purpose behind it. I can watch it easier now, than I used to.

Today we wish a very Happy Birthday to one of our most active members ......................... Kladdagh! Have a fantastic Birthday and keep enjoying Miami Vice!

Today I took a walk in the Harbour at Alvor in the Algarve Portugal. Lovely day with the odd gust of wind.

LOL!!

Watched it, really nice. I understand his channel concept is taking some old slides (View Master technology I'm not familiar with, probably before my time), and finding these locations now. Comparing then and now of Miami-Dade county is one of my favorite activities of course, so I thoroughly enjoyed this video, while learning some new things too.

I see, so it looks like those lots are multi-story garages now.

I’ll definitely have to check it out! As for Dario Argento…there are a few of his movies that are interesting because of his wild visuals—with use of color & lighting. Deep Red is a good one! But, there are also some that are just “unrealistically” gross, lol!

Although the #88 is an interesting coincidence…in all honesty, this is “reaching” way beyond what was actually there & meant to be! We all can take some aspects of whatever episode & turn them into supposed “signs” of things yet to possibly come. But, actually there were no “Burnett plans” much before they decided to do those episodes for shock value (during that season)…to try and “shock” viewers into coming back and/or continuing to watch (which didn’t work & backfired bad). Most episodes were a one-time thing, and then the next was something else. That was the style of crime shows back then…they didn’t have too many continuing or “connecting” storylines or character backplots (although some character backgrounds were mentioned or referred to occasionally). As for this episode, I don’t think there were any plans to have Crockett shot & do flashback scenes while doctors are trying to save him, until the writers strike. Then they came up with the idea to still have a “new” episode, of-sorts, to get people to watch…as most other shows were probably in reruns.

Have a Happy Birthday!!!!

Found this video of locations from the pilot.

Indeed! 2016:

Jose Marti Park in Downtown. This shot was taken when they filmed the scene where Mary´s body is found under the bridge next to the park..

I’ve been going through season 4 and just watched this. I posted a comment years ago that it reminded me of why I enjoyed Miami Vice so much in the first two years. I’m sure it doesn’t play today when we have access to every episode & various clips on YouTube but I enjoyed it at the time. I came into season 1 around February I think so I had never seen “Evan”. Didn’t watch that until the USA Network airings in 1989. Some of the clips don’t work. Why would Tubbs think of that boat chase from season 3? That just felt so out of place. The other thing that stood out was how, during the scene, the used a shot of Crockett driving from season 3. 7 for me. Nothing great but I remember how it got me back into the show at the time.

Is this movie worth watching/getting? I’ve not seen it before, but I’ve heard of it…and that the ending is kind of strange.

In the UK we have Toms, maybe they're international too. Not that expensive. https://www.toms.com/uk/men/shoes?prefn1=refinementColor&prefv1=White

It seems as if they are having a lot of fun.

These are a few from the Ocean boardwalk in Hollywood, Florida just near Sarah’s house location at Georgia Steeet - now this is what Ocean Drive should be like !
