mvnyc Posted December 28, 2013 Report Share Posted December 28, 2013 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.**There was no Season 2 premiere episode this week**.**There was no Season 3 premiere episode this week**.**There was no Season 4 premiere episode this week**.**There was no Season 5 premiere episode this week**.

Lar Posted January 11, 2014 Report Share Posted January 11, 2014 I'm really, really late on this one, but I can't speak highly enough of "Milk Run." Easily in my top 10 episodes. Everything about it just works, IMO it's one of the defining episodes and the first "fully matured" MV. They were really firing on all cylinders by this point. I love the intro with ZZ Top's "Legs," as well as the boxing scene with Pat Benatar's "Hit Me With Your Best Shot." They may not be the most famous or successful examples of music on the show, now when compared to "In The Air Tonight" or "Brothers In Arms," but they work well nevertheless (plus, Pat Benatar can do no wrong in my eyes anyway). The ending never fails to knock me out. 10 out of 10 for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
