BunMVO Posted October 18, 2018 Report Share Posted October 18, 2018 Really, where did he live? We saw Gina and Trudy's apartments I believe, we definitely saw Sonny's boat home. Where did Tubbs live? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airtommy Posted October 18, 2018 Report Share Posted October 18, 2018 (edited) That remains a mystery. Tubbs was probably at home when he got the phone call in "Amen... Send Money".

summer84 Posted October 18, 2018 Report Share Posted October 18, 2018 (edited) Already in the second episode of Season 1 "Heart of Darkness", if you pay attention to the dialogue, that Tubbs is having with Lieutenant Rodriguez and later with Crockett, it is implied that Tubbs lives in some cheap lousy place with noisy neighbors plus, when he see's Artie's apartment jokingly and I believe indirectly refers to his own not matching up. Thanks to C Glide for the script, (although it's not stated in the final version), that in this episode Tubbs was living in a seedy motel in Kendall. I guess then by Season 4 in the episode "Amen Send Money," he must have improved his living conditions somewhat.

miamijimf Posted October 18, 2018 Report Share Posted October 18, 2018 The character of Tubbs didn't live on the Beach or real close to the OCB if he had to take the Don Shula expressway to get to work. PMT, in reality, lived at the Mutiny Hotel in the Grove during at least part of the filming years. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course the Pilot we saw his cheap motel up on Biscayne Boulevard not too far from the Studio. ( exterior and location seen in "Golden Triangle" (Part 1 ) and "Home Invaders" also).

Mr. Vigilante Posted December 25, 2019 Report Share Posted December 25, 2019 Always wondered about this myself. Kinda bugged me that we never saw it. I think they could've given him some cool place to rival Crockett's boat. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corsair77 Posted December 25, 2019 Report Share Posted December 25, 2019 I even kind of liked that omission, it adds to Tubbs's air of mystery. It complemented the way he would do some background work on the cases to come up with unexpected clues. Remember how he once surprised Crockett with the fact that he attended night school? 'There is life after Vice!' he quipped leaving Crockett and the viewers puzzled. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bren10 Posted December 25, 2019 Report Share Posted December 25, 2019 The phone call in Amen should be the place. It's the closest thing we get, anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedDragon86 Posted December 25, 2019 Report Share Posted December 25, 2019 Is that not his place in "Rites of Passage" when he's with Valerie? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbie C. Posted December 25, 2019 Report Share Posted December 25, 2019 I think they had Tubbs move around a couple of times after the hotel stuff in the first few episodes. But it's also pretty typical of how they treated many characters, honestly. You only see their homes if it's directly related to some kind of crisis (Trudy and Gina) or a dramatic event (Stan and Castillo). Only Crockett was really showcased. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glades Posted December 25, 2019 Report Share Posted December 25, 2019 MV remembers me somehow of a monastery. So it´s just consistent, they have no private life and home. Probably it´s also the contrary. Because there´s almost no private life shown to us the OCB seems to be like a monastary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But in many ways he's the reverse of the others - they may not have homes but they have consistent backgrounds. Crockett has no fixed past, but he has a home. Odd...

jpaul1 Posted December 26, 2019 Report Share Posted December 26, 2019 we clearly see Tubbs house in little miss dangerous. a modern cool house, but which lacks a bit of furniture, and warmth. i don't know where this is located irl, as i'm not into that 'real places surgery' thing. NOT that i find it ininteresting, but i'm scared that if i know the real places it will break the series magic. for me, in my kid head Crockett, and Tubbs have really existed. yeah i know this is dumb. but this is how i see it. maybe i expressed myself badly. i didn't find any other word 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep it was a safe house. Tubbs says to Sonny - "Jackie's at the 95th Street safe house" "I gave her the key" 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So we know how parts of his bedroom look like.But as others told before, the homes of the other ones were only shown if necesary. That Tubbs at the beginning was living in a shabby apartment makes sense because he didn't know if he had to go back to New York. That's why he asked Rodriguez if they could talk about his future. I think he moved to a better apartment (the one in "Rites of passage" ) after he got a contract with Vice, but as there was never shown so much private stuff of the Vice employees we never got to know that he moved. And, as others told before: This was unfortunately a Don-Johnson-Show. The others were only accessories. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
