Thrive to spite them

The specific thing in Warehouse 13 that just did me in was they go to investigate some strange stuff happening in a prison in Florida with a hurricane fast approaching. Turns out the prison is made of rock with quartz, which was left over materials from the quartz mine that the prison was built on. They even showed a picture of a mine from somewhere. A quartz mine. In Florida.

The worst show for things set in Florida was Silk Stalkings, if anyone remembers that. It was based in South Florida but shot in CA and they did nothing to disguise the fact. There were shots of rocky shorelines and cliffs all the time. The only plot line I really remember was one where high class prostitutes were being brought into the area and recruited from Tallahassee, the implication being Big Money is in Tallahassee. They even showed "Tallahassee" which looked more like South Florida than anything else they showed. Lots of sand and palm trees and huge expensive houses every where.

Silk Stalkings was fun, but terrible. I know exactly what you are talking about! "It's too hot to sleep!"

“Not dead yet!”

You forget how tragically bad USA original programming used to be. (Am I remembering that correctly? That it was a USA show first, then even they canceled it and it went into syndicated production?)

Art Crawl!!!

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

It was a CBS late-night show (“Crime Time After Prime Time!”) first, then it moved to USA.

Crime Time After Prime Time had all kinds of bad shows. Like the vigilante motorcycle riding judge. He tucked his hair up in a little not bun during the day as a judge.

Oh gads, Tom, you're right! I'd totally forgotten that.

Forever Knight was originally part of that line-up too.

I used to work a closing shift so I'd get home around 11 pm and watch Crime Time after Prime Time, USA Up All Night, and lots of infomercials. LOTS. There was one for the Health Rider with dancers and choreographed routines and it would switch settings. Including one in a barn, with country sounding music, and girls in daisy dukes and half shirts and hats. I couldn't find that. But here's the health rider with dancers in leather jackets dancing.

Edit I found it! I got the outfits wrong. [link]
