Thanks. I checked and I have that network (and didn't know it).

Here's Glenn playing Smugglers Blues 1994 ... what a performance ... freaking great!

Don't think my cable company has this channel either. Missed the special shown a couple of months ago because I did not get that channel.

Seems Glenn was a natural at acting, I loved him in the Miami Vice episode and Jerry Maguire. Didn't see the Arli$$ episode he was in so I can't comment but I did see a clip of South of Sunset and frankly I was disappointed in the casting and writing.

We get the channel too and I've actually been rewatching some recently since the news broke last week NBC is rebooting the show for the 2018/19 season. It'll be interesting to see who they cast as modern day Crockett and Tubbs, and if they'll go the route of "Hawaii Five-0" and other recent reboots and add back in some of the recurring characters from the original. I remember Glenn's character was supposed to be a Vietnam vet that served with Crockett and they originally wanted him to recur but it never worked out, so I could easily see this episode being redone in the new version with drug smuggling still a huge problem but having them be vets from Iraq/Afghanistan and have Glenn's character stick around like they wanted. Then again we have so little on the new version of the show but I could see them adding this in if they wanted to.

I used to watch Miami Vice a lot on El Rey Network every morning then they showing Miami Vice for a while. I think they just started back showing Miami Vice. I was just checking the guide and notice Miami Vice was back and Smuggler's Blues was coming on this morning. Too bad the Heroes & Icons channel doesn't show Glenn's arc.

Happy 33rd Birthday to the Smuggler's Blues episode. This episode and I Can't Tell You Why are very close to my birthday.

I will pop my DVD in to watch this episode.

Good idea, shun. I may try to carve out an hour today and do the same.

Where have I been ... I just learned Glenn's first wife Janie played the smuggler's female accomplice.

Where have I been ... I just learned Glenn's first wife Janie played his female friend.

Janie Frey appears in the video for Smuggler's Blues, not the Miami Vice episode.
