Here we are 18 years after this show and I still remember it. A short run with fair success in its time slot. However, at the time, I think all comedy shows were judged to be either Seinfeld or "Not Seinfeld". I remember being shocked that Key West got dumped. It really was a smart show with a unique premise. I wonder if Fox just couldn't figure out what type of show it was. Since it had elements of comedy, romance, drama, it's possible that the show just slid through the cracks at Fox and right down the drain. I can't figure it out.For fans of Jennifer Tilly, this was Jen at her absolute sexiest. She played a southern belle turned hooker-with-a-heart-of-gold. Since then, Savannah has lived only in my memories.

Agree that this was one of the best episodes of this show. I remember the series well as I was in the Florida Keys when the show had its debut. I was looking through old VCR tapes that were "keepers" and came across two that had about eight episodes. I ended up spending part of Christmas night (and the next) watching these shows. The singer was Bankie Banx - saw his name come up on the credits. He's from Anguilla and owns a beach front bar called The Dune Preserve. He's a longtime friend of Jimmy Buffett and Bankie's classic song "Still In Paradise" is featured on the latest Buffett CD/DVD combo called "Live In Anguilla" - it is track #12 on CD 1 and #8 on the CD. I too would like to someday see this short lived series come out on DVD. Keep the faith!

---"BUT does anyone know who the guy was singing in that episode? He was Jamaican? maybe but sang a beautiful haunting song as the storm came."--- I have never forgotten this show, especially the hurricane episode referenced above.That song was one of the most beautiful pieces of work I have ever heard and have tried many times to track down any information on it.Like everyone else here, here is to hoping for a DVD release of this gem.And please! If anyone knows anything about the song....msg me!!! Thank you

Which is, unfortunately, mostly what succeeds on TV these days. Shows such as Key West are just too intelligent, and go over the head of Average Joe TV Viewer (or Average Joe TV Executive). With all the proliferation and specialization of TV channels these days, maybe some day we can have an "Intelligent TV Channel" where shows like these can flourish and those too dim to "get it" can just remove it from their channel rotation.Key West was smart, funny and *very* quirky. No fart jokes or pratfalls, which is probably why it didn't succeed; just a continuous, surreal humor. I didn't even mind that it starred the despicable Denise Crosby. It seemed fitting that she should not only end up in this loony bin, but be in charge of it.Any TV producers out there reading this -- there's an idea for you. Create an "Intelligent TV Channel", and give us shows like this, or Max Headroom, Brimstone, Cupid, etc. You could even call it that, as a dig at the mindless drivel that pours off the screen most of the time.
