Such a shame that this wonderful bright spot on the small screen had such talent in writers and actors, such wonderful scenery that was the ultimate escapism for those in a land locked, sun deprived state. Many of the actors went on to bigger things...
The fact that I still remember this after ten years is a testament to its quality. Little gems like this always get lost in the confusion of TV board room decisions, I suppose.
Both my husband and I watched Key West with great pleasure...his might have had a lot to do with Jennifer Tilly, who was amazingly attractive in this series.
I don't know why, but I expected to find something of Ernest Hemingway in this tale of gumshoe and his friend involved in this adventure thriler scheme. Yes, we can consider Stephen Boyd's character as a kind of tribute to Humphrey Bogart in KEY LARGO or John Garfield in BREAKING POINT.
Here we are 18 years after this show and I still remember it. A short run with fair success in its time slot.
I watched this show religiously for the short time it was on Fox. It provided the same escapism as listening to Buffett.
I am right now watching "The Big Chill" on DVD. One of its actors is Meg Tilly.
As I sit here in Wisconsin 18 years later watching and listening to the heavy rain fall against my office window, I'm brought back to the hurricane episode of this fantastic show! How many times in our lives have we wanted to escape it all...
Fisher Stevens does a good Hawkeye as the rugged writer, Jennifer Tilly is nervous and cutesy as a girl hiding out from a convent.. a topless blonde dancer spends the night next to him where she completely trusts him alone for platonic reasons..
