Please Help Me Figure Out What TV Show This Is - Blu-ray Forum

Waboman · 09-03-2017, 04:23 AM

I swear I once saw a thread for helping identifying tv shows. But can't find it.

I need help recalling a name of a tv show. I believe it aired in the early to mid 90's. It was a guy and a girl who ran a detective agency in Key West. Reminded me of a cheap Magnum, PI. I remember them using really bright colors for the suits/clothes. The chick I believe was a pretty hot redhead. I know, not much to go on. Also, for some reason I want to say this aired late night on the USA Network. But not certain about that. Any ideas? There's a shot of Santo Mezquila waiting for you.

Acapulco H.E.A.T. ?

The only thing I am thinking of is Keys starring Marg Helgenberger & Gary Dourdan in 1994. It was a movie that was supposed to become a TV show according a show that talked about show pilots I saw long ago. From what I remember is was a CSI type movie before CSI.

The first thing I thought of was Silk Stalkings, which ran two seasons on CBS before moving to USA and was set in Florida. The first five seasons starred Rob Estes and Mitzi Kapture, but I don't think she was a redhead and they were actual police detectives, not PIs.

Waboman · 09-03-2017, 04:59 AM

Thanks for the replies. Silk Stockings is close. But this was much more cheesier and clichéd. Kinda like that Acapulco H.E.A.T. Which I now want to watch. If this helps, I recall the male lead was a throw caution to the wind guy and the redhead was much more reserved and tried to keep him out of trouble. The police captain knew them too. Sorry guys. I'm working off fragments of my memory.

Edit: I want to say it was on around the time Land's End with Fred Dryer aired. Actually, it may have been a couple years earlier. Lol. Sorry.

The only TV show i can think of is Tropical Heat

kngtmat · 09-03-2017, 05:29 AM

Is it Tropical Heat AKA Sweating Bullets?

Waboman · 09-03-2017, 05:37 AM

YES!!! That's it. I remember it as Sweating Bullets. Didn't know it had two names. Thanks guys! This was driving me nuts. A round of shots on me.

What are the odds Netflix has this to stream?

jokerzwild · 09-03-2017, 05:50 AM

oo I remember that, vaguely but I remember it. Man that is buried deep, easy to forget some of those shows you never see in re-runs.

I haven't thought about that old Crimetime After Primetime in soo long.

Crimetime After Primetime! Holy cow, I haven't heard that phrase in like 25 years.

Good times.

Waboman · 09-03-2017, 10:08 PM

I just put 2 and 2 together and realized the star of Tropical Heat/Sweating Bullets (Rob Stewart) was Roan in Nikita and Khlyen in Killjoys.
