James was a great actor in this...cool seeing a younger Chris rock in this also.

Can’t believe they wrote this episode, 3rd season went off the rails

[@modernretroradio993]

Cocaine was the culprit in MANY bad decisions in the business in the ;80s.

[@modernretroradio993]

This show went off the rails the same season that "Moonlighting" made its wild left-turn, as well.

​@@modernretroradio993 Ah so the script writers & producers were high & intoxicated when they wrote the story 😭

It was great to see James Brown's wife, Adrienne, also in this episode.

I really want to know how the casting call went. How did they get James Brown to play a space case?

R.I.P To The Godfather Of Soul James Brown, Still Miss You Always

[@garryfield5319]

james brown ,legend!

[@irisheyes0075]

It was cool to have The Godfather of Soul in an episode, but truth be told, this episode was sooooo off from this show, it was laughable! And I'm a devoted fan of Miami Vice, which this channel has seen my comments many times and I always say Miami Vice Forever...but it shows you that an episode like this was a foreboding of an end.....

[@lindacollins903]

I totally agree with you

Despite its unpopularity, the episode presages the postmodernist trend that would become more acceptable during the next decades' The X-Files and similar "unreality" shows. These shows are also indebted to the supernatural/paranormal series Kolchack: The Night Stalker, which aired in 1974-75.

Chris Rock was young then

If you feel any emotional attachment to any of the characters, it's a sign of a neurological disorder.
