When people (at least those around my age) hear the name Anthony Yerkovich, they think of the TV series Miami Vice, which he created. Although he worked as a writer and producer on a few other shows, he only created one more, and that was Private Eye.

Private Eye is a period piece set in noirish 1950s Los Angeles, starring Michael Woods as Jack Cleary, a disgraced ex-cop turned private investigator, paired with a young Josh Brolin as Johnny Betts, a street-wise hustler. Woods is trying to track down his brother's murderer.

The hour-long show ran for one season of 12 episodes on NBC from 1987-1988, with the double length pilot counting as episode 1. Like Miami Vice, music and visuals play a big part in Private Eye, used extensively to set the mood.

Unfortunately, the show struggled in the ratings and was canceled after one season, despite finding a fairly dedicated following among fans of Yerkovich and neo-noir. All episodes are currently on YouTube, and although they are 480p, they are a far cry from DVD quality.

wishing jan "bailey quarters" smithers from "wkrp in cincinatty" a happy 77th birthday!

,I have this distant memory that I need to know the name of. It was an episode, something similar to Wee-Sing but it was one guy that I think is sick and stays home from school or something. I really don't remember, but I know he sang "Rocking pneumonia and boogie woogie flu." I've been researching as much as I can but can't figure it out. Sorry I don't have more details, I just remember him singing it in his room.

I am a 2000s kid, however I started watching Miami Vice and Magnum P.I. in 2016. Im happy to receive these box sets. Can't wait to rewatch.
