Matt5 Posted June 18, 2014 Report Share Posted June 18, 2014 The comments on you tube are so so negative regarding PMT on that clip from the end of the second season ( April 25, 1986) - not nice too read really - a lot of people happy that PMT "dropped off the face of the earth after MV" so unnecessary - PMT is a great man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kavinsky Posted June 18, 2014 Report Share Posted June 18, 2014 (edited) actually he didnt fall of the face of the earth, he did a talk hotline for awhile and then had a bunch of kids. hell I remember seeing the ads on in the early 1990's, from Miami Vice straight to your living room I think was the slogan. and the talk hotline bit has a abit of irony to it, given that him and the lady that replaced him were both in Vice City, Ms Cleo and they swtiched over to her in breach of PMT's contract. of which he sued and won over. plus he did show up on nash bridges once or twice, so I'd say it was more life getting in the way than anything else. after all raising kids is far more important than acting jobs.

Jimmy Posted June 19, 2014 Report Share Posted June 19, 2014 I remember "Duckman" doing a parody bit about him in the 90's, but it was all in good fun. But then again, Philip Michael Thomas had fallen off from his position as a hip 80's mainstream cop/pop idol status and had become kinda forgotten icon from the eighties. It's easy to throw dirt on and make assumptions about him based off from a few clip on YouTube. Still, it doesn't change the fact that PMT has been a big star and an influence in the eighties and for all those who followed Miami Vice and his career throughout.

Kavinsky Posted June 19, 2014 Report Share Posted June 19, 2014 (edited) Actually I do remember something else, watching the Fresh Prince and having Jeffery come in a suit and him saying was that Philip Michale Thomas lol also with youtube comments, remember its people without faces and voices saying stuff that they think they can get away with. not responsible people taking it seriously and being respectful so its the whole nanna nana boo boo thing for the next generation, problem is everyone can see it, so you get this highschool like mentality where they use their comments to put peer pressure on everyone. forgetting the internet is forever, such as this jackass that showed up on harry metcalfs radar for instance: https://twitter.com/PaulGarlick/status/479225535441416192 and they forget its just like post highschool people can ignore and be picky about who they listen to, as its not high school where your forced to be with someone you hate for 5 years. so it kinda falls under the frank purview of well, Fuck'em and hell why do you think politicans are using it now lol Edited June 19, 2014 by Kavinsky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy Posted June 19, 2014 Report Share Posted June 19, 2014 I agree, Kavinsky. While the internet is useful and made sharing, communicating and networking increasingly easier, it has its downfalls. Anonymity provided by it plays a big part in people turning into intolerable brats. People think they can get away with anything in the internet, and that is what brings out the worst in us. It's a shame, really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Calderon Posted June 19, 2014 Report Share Posted June 19, 2014 About people saying b,s....like we use to say here..."But, if even Jesus wasn´t able to make everybody happy, why a mere mortal could do that?" PMT is still cool for me. It´s more than enough.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noggie Posted September 23, 2014 Report Share Posted September 23, 2014 People love seeing others "fall". I've never understood it but it's true. PMT was definitely flying high in the 80's & deservedly so. People forget he'd plugged away for a long time. I watched him on an episode of POLICE WOMAN the other day. Guy had paid his dues. Main thing to me is I've never heard a single person complain about meeting him, then or now. He's always come off as appreciative of fans. Sitting on Carson during the Vice years, I'm sure he was full of himself. His real interactions with people seem to indicate he's a decent guy. No need to ride him for 30 yr old comments. Comments about himself!!! These aren't some inflammatory comments he made. They're silly but harmless. I wish the dude the best & look forward to some sort of Vice tv reunion. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vincent Hanna Posted September 23, 2014 Report Share Posted September 23, 2014 People are rough on PMT but i guess he kinda deserved it with the whole EGOT stuff…you're just asking to get ridiculed xD I mean he wasn't exactly the strongest actor in the world and he's done alright for himself. If Don couldn't even make a decent movie career then PMT had no chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony D. Posted September 23, 2014 Report Share Posted September 23, 2014 Here is his (now) famous interview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=osEcdSy2UkYI didn't think PMT came across as egotistical. He explained that a person aspiring to be a doctor needs those diplomas on his wall, so an aspiring actor needs those awards in their resume'. Also, he wanted to make a billion dollars to help humanity. Very noble, I would say.I had to laugh when Carson asks him if the album is good. What should he say, no, it stinks?Too bad they didn't get to the album. I wanted to hear some of it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt5 Posted September 23, 2014 Report Share Posted September 23, 2014 This was at the height of Miami Vice's success - April 1986 at the end of the second season - when MV had hit #9 in the US ratings for the Year and was just behind big shows such as "Cheers" , "Dynasty" and "Dallas".

I still don't understand why people liked those shows, old women probably made up the entire viewership of dynasty and dallas. MV was aimed soley at the 18-34 year olds guys, i guess chicks watched it for DJ. I don't know >.< MV was a lot more creative show and took risks, same with crime story. People like the same crappy melodrama Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony D. Posted September 25, 2014 Report Share Posted September 25, 2014 Yes, Metro......it is sad that PMT didn't get some good movie rolls. I was happy to see him on Nash Bridges & thought we would see more of him & D.J. as well. My dream is to see a police series with D.J. & PMT before they get too old to make it believable. Telly Savalas did a Kojak movie when he was around 80 & it was good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People like the same crappy melodrama I didnt realise MV and "Dynasty" had some of the same directors - Georg Stanford Brown ( " The Great McCarthy" , " Golden Triangle ) , Gabrielle Beaumont ( " Red Tape" ) and Allan Myerson .
