This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place

Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay

n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.

Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

I watched this show religiously for the short time it was on Fox. It provided the same escapism as listening to Buffett. It came and went in 1993. I was 15. A couple years ago I got a complete VHS copy of the series (which I've subsequently digitized). I was excited to see it again and it still provided that tropical escape, but it proved far from the "ground-breaking" show I remember. The show is great for the few who loved it, but was clearly never destined to be a popular hit. From the story line to the characters, the entire show is gimmicky and tries way too hard. The show met a quick end, and deservedly so. That being said, I still watch the few episodes made quite frequently. A show doesn't need to be "ahead of its time" or "intelligent" or "innovative" to enjoy. Enjoy it just because you enjoy it. No excuses. Fox canceling the show probably saved it, preserved it, before they could add Ted McGinley to the cast just to boost ratings.

Agree that this was one of the best episodes of this show. I remember the series well as I was in the Florida Keys when the show had its debut. I was looking through old VCR tapes that were "keepers" and came across two that had about eight episodes. I ended up spending part of Christmas night (and the next) watching these shows. The singer was Bankie Banx - saw his name come up on the credits. He's from Anguilla and owns a beach front bar called The Dune Preserve. He's a longtime friend of Jimmy Buffett and Bankie's classic song "Still In Paradise" is featured on the latest Buffett CD/DVD combo called "Live In Anguilla" - it is track #12 on CD 1 and #8 on the CD. I too would like to someday see this short lived series come out on DVD. Keep the faith!

The biggest problem that the TV program Key West faced was that it was advertised wrong. If you saw the ads you would think it was a jiggle how, and be sorely disappointed. It was a vastly more complex show than that. I happened to be in Key West just before Hurricane Andrew hit, and I think I actually found myself having a drink or two with some of the cast in Rum Runners. Of course, that was before the show hit. I did see the sailboat that was in the opening go by a few times, and chatted with the guy who you see hacking up coconuts in the opening too. HE was a real local. Yes, I'd love to see this on DVD.

Wow, it's so good to read comments from people who liked this show! Hell, it's good to hear from other people who remember it. I can't find anyone who does. Are we the same folks who appreciated "Wonderfalls"? Jennifer Tilly was so wonderful in this and I can't seem to get anyone to believe that that bad guy from the X-Files played a hippie cop! I live in NYC and I'm going to the Museum of Television and Radio just so I can watch an old episode of "Key West". I haven't really looked yet but I'm going to assume that it's not available on DVD (or even VHS) . Isn't there some sort of "Criterion Collection" for canceled classics? If anyone recorded them, I'd love to get copies!
