mvnyc Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 March 25th - March 31st:"Nobody Lives Forever", the 20th episode of the 1st season, premiered on NBC on Friday, March 29th, 1985 at 10PM EST. Some notes on this episode (from Miami Vice Wiki):* Crockett is the recipient of the famous "Castillo Staredown" (his second this season), for shirking his duty in favor of romance. * Brenda makes reference to the renovation of the Art Deco buildings in South Beach. This renovation trend is often said to be partially influenced by Miami Vice as, in early seasons of the show, producers would repair and re-paint damaged buildings so that they would form an acceptable background to the footage they were filming. Other initiatives subsequently followed suit, eventually leading to the revitalization of the South Beach area, a process that continues today. One example of this is the Tides hotel, seen in the background when Crockett shoots down the third wild punk. The building is now The Tides South Beach and is a luxury hotel. * Brenda's house would reappear as one of the cat burglar's targets in the third season episode "Shadow In The Dark."* During the opening sequence, Ace (Frank Military), tells one of Morgan's bookies "You don't look so bad, here's another." This line was allegedly spoken word for word by the New York vigilante subway shooter Bernhard Goetz, which caused over 50 complaint calls to NBC in 1985, mainly from New York City. According to NBC's then-head of Broadcast Standards, the line was ad-libbed by Military and was not in the script and that the scene in question was filmed two days before Goetz's admission was made public. * Tubbs is very obviously played by his stunt double, Ernest Robinson, in the scene where the last of the punks tries to run him down with his stolen car. **There was no Season 2 premiere episode this week**"Knock, Knock...Who's There?", the 21st episode of the 3rd season, premiered on NBC on Friday, March 27th, 1987 at 9PM EST. Some notes on this episode (from Miami Vice Wiki):* This is one of two episodes whose title ends with a question mark. * IAD Agent Stroh will return to investigate Tubbs in Season 4's "Amen... Send Money."**There was no Season 4 premiere episode this week****There was no Season 5 premiere episode this week** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarolineUK Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 Nobody Lives Forever is one of my favourite eps as it shows some great locations plus it stars one of my fave writers - Frank Military as one of the gang. Not only did he do the scripts for LMD and Buddies (IMHO two of the best MV stories) but he has written some of the best eps of NCIS (I always know there are going to be some great twists).
