They should let them film the third season and then have the production crew blow up the building for the city as part of a season finally. They are asking for about a 4 month extension, since when does anything in Miami get completed on time and under budget.

[Hia-leah JDM]

They should let them get their extension, but then what?! Let them move production to LA? There needs to be a couple warehouses out there that these guys can afford? Its ridiculous what a show has to go thru to film down here, best they can do are single episode shoots.

Well they got a good, relatively cheap, agreement with the city and the show has done pretty good. I am sure that past the third season they can move to Greenwich Studios or Ice Palace. Granted, they are a little pricier but they got the Coconut Grove Convention Center for dirt cheap. Hopefully someone can step in and build a full production studio somewhere in the Downtown area! That would be the ideal solution. We need more post production facilities here in Miami.

CNNs Städte-Spezial My City, My Life mit Rocklegende Iggy Pop
(firmenpresse) - Iggy Pop ist eine amerikanische Rocklegende, berühmt als Leadsänger der “Stooges” für kontroverse Bühnenshows und zotige Reden.

Inzwischen über 60, ist Iggy Pop unverändert wild. Für CNNs Städte-Spezial My City, My Life zeigt der Leguan des Punk-Rocks dem CNN-Team seine neue Heimatstadt Miami. Floridas größte Metropole ist bekannt für sonnige Strände, coolen Style, Supermodels und South Beach.

CNNs My City, My Life zeigt beide Seiten Miamis: den Glanz und die weniger glamourösen Ecken der Stadt. Einwandererviertel und Hinterhöfe gehören für Iggy Pop ebenso zu Miami wie die Shoppingmeilen und Yachthäfen. Iggy Pop kehrt in einem traditionellen englischen Pub ein, besucht einen Voodoo Laden und einen Music Store, und eine wunderbare Ziervogel-Voliere, ebenso schillernd und exotisch wie Iggy selbst.

Iggy Pop zog in den 1990er Jahren nach Miami: „Nach 25 Jahren in riesigen dunklen Medienmetropolen wollte ich dem hektischen und anstrengenden Leben entfliehen. Ich habe etwas gesucht, das wie ein elegantes Koma wirkt, friedlich und bequem und ging nach Miami.“

Inzwischen hat sich auch Miami gewandelt. Iggy Pop kritisiert die Stadtentwickler, die Miami “die Seele raubten”. Er sähe gern weniger Baukräne und Touristen, dafür mehr von Miamis ursprünglicher Kultur und Charme. Aber: “Ich halte meinen Mund, sitze unter meiner Palme irgendwo südlich der Stadtgrenze.”


My City My Life: Miami läuft am Donnerstag, den
4. Dezember um 10:30 Uhr, am Freitag den
5. Dezember um 05:00 Uhr, am Samstag den
6. Dezember um 10:30 und 19:00 Uhr, am Sonntag den
7. Dezember um 00:30 und 16:30 Uhr und am
8. Dezember um 04:30 Uhr bei CNN International.

Here are some shots from this week's episode of CSI: Miami

[kevinkagy]

I was reading the FIU Alumni Magazine and it said that they recently filmed a couple Burn Notice episodes at FIU. Apparently, they did a couple scenes near the Law School, the Chapman Business Building, the Ryder Business Building, near FIU's 8th St entrance.

[AddictedToSpace]

Yes those episodes already aired. One of the kids that was on Home Improvement was in the scenes filmed at FIU.

[floridian-will]

Yea the older one, Brad. I remember that episode

[Sunstorm]

I'm sure there'll a lot of tv shots of Miami's skyline when the BCS championship is played in a few weeks. GO GATORS!

Here are some more screen shots from this week's episode of CSI: Miami. Granted some older shots but one particularly recent, as you can see ICON topped out. Never the less, I think they are nice angles.

Well, I have some bias since I created the Miami on the BIG SCREEN thread. I'm surprised nobody thought of it before me. Maybe they did and the thread is so old we can't find it.

But I must say I do like the CSI: Miami shots, Addicted to Space! They make it look as though the Miami skyline truly is big time now, 3rd biggest without a doubt.

[AddictedToSpace]

The skyline looks so big in the third picture and there is still a whole chunk missing. Imagine the Biscayne Wall, Omni and Edgewater portion added to the pic!

This one is my favorite!

[DShoost88]

So I just got back from seeing "Marley & Me" in theaters, and I cannot begin to tell you how many skyline shots and aerial shots from all of South Florida are featured in the movie.
Miami
West Palm
Palm Beach
Fort Lauderdale
Boca
Weston
Hollywood
Sunny Isles
South Beach

They're everywhere! Be warned, though: the movie is quite the tear-jerker. Especially for dog lovers.

TELEVISION'S FALL SEASON | ABC & NBC
CBS adds a traumatic show about Miami for next season
BY GLENN GARVIN
ggarvin@MiamiHerald.com
CBS, which has made a fortune over the years trafficking in South Florida corpses on CSI: Miami and Dexter, is about to expand its repertoire to our community's maimed, crippled and comatose. The network is adding a medical drama called Miami Trauma to its schedule next season.

Miami Trauma won't air until after the first of the year, and CBS executives offered few details as they unveiled their new schedule Wednesday in New York -- except that it won't be short on severed limbs or flying organs. The pilot episode alone features a pregnant woman blown up in a car explosion, some full-body burns, a missing hand and ''a little bit of everything,'' as one executive familiar with the show cheerfully explained.

Though studio publicity blurbs for the show bubble about Miami's allure (``The sky is blue and the water bluer. . . . It could be paradise. But even paradise needs its angels.''), the producers themselves apparently were able to resist it. Miami Trauma's pilot was shot mostly on the Warner Brothers lot in Hollywood, with Long Beach body-doubling for Miami, and aside from a few aerial shots, the studio doesn't plan to do much filming in South Florida.

The various nutcase and nymphomaniac characters are played by Jeremy Northam (The Tudors), Lana Parilla (Swingtown) and Elisabeth Harnois (One Tree Hill); the show was created by Jeffrey Lieber, one of the producers of Lost. CBS announced Miami Trauma during the so-called upfronts, a week of meetings between the broadcast networks and their advertisers in New York where next season's shows and schedules are revealed.

In a season pockmarked by quick cancellations, smaller audiences and shrinking ad sales, CBS is the only network with anything to cheer about. Not only did it win the year-long Nielsen race, it was the only big broadcast network to add viewers: Its average audience jumped 12 percent.

Even so, the slumping economy cut into the network's revenue, and CBS executives sounded anything but complacent Wednesday, adding four brand-new series for the fall and preparing four others for midseason rollout.

And in a peculiar scenario produced by the tangled and tempestuous relationship between the networks and their production studios, CBS revived a series killed just a day earlier by NBC: the I-see-dead-people crime drama Medium, which even though it aired on NBC was made by CBS' production arm.

Medium will now air at 9 p.m. Fridays between crime drama Numb3rs and CBS' own spook opera, Ghost Whisperer. ''If Ghost Whisperer and Numb3rs had an offspring, it would be Medium,'' CBS programming boss Nina Tassler cracked at a press conference with television writers.

But Tassler wasn't laughing earlier, when her network issued a press release ripping NBC for canceling the show, a decision that would have cost CBS' corporate overseers millions of dollars. The CBS release called the cancellation ''inexplicable,'' then added acidly: `The ratings don't lie. Medium outperforms many of NBC's renewed shows.''

NBC fired back with its own statement noting that Medium's ratings are lower than those of two shows CBS canceled Wednesday, Eleventh Hour and Without A Trace. By midday, the two networks called a temporary truce to remove all the corporate corpses from the battlefield.

The three other dramas joining the CBS fall schedule include the spinoff NCIS: Los Angeles, a military-justice procedural starring Chris O'Donnell as an undercover agent and LL Cool J as a surveillance expert; The Good Wife, with Julianna Margulies as a middle-aged housewife who resumes her legal career after her husband is jailed in a political scandal; and Three Rivers, a medical drama set at hospital specializing in organ transplants.

The network's lone new comedy, Accidentally On Purpose, stars Jenna Elfman (Dharma & Greg) as a 40ish film critic impregnated on a one-night-stand who learns the hard way that the baby and its boy-toy father are about equally mature.

Along with Miami Trauma, the CBS midseason replacements are Canadian cop drama The Bridge, a prince-and-pauper reality series called Undercover Boss in which corporate overlords masquerade as flunkies to see what life in their companies is really like, and a reality show called Arranged Marriage, that, believe it or not, is exactly what it sounds like.

CBS also canceled two other series: military drama The Unit and sitcom Worst Week.

Wow...the creativity is overwhelming. I hope that is works for them...

[kevinkagy]

It's great that we're getting yet another Miami show, but how many medical/CSI/hospital shows do we really need on TV lol?
