Well it has been said over and over...we pay a ridiculous amount of money to watch krap on TV. I too watch shows sometimes just for the tropical ambiance...not because it is a good show. Here are some of my favorites...I missed a lot in the 60s though as my parents only got about 6 channels. I can still watch these shows over and over today.

BACKDROPS
~San Diego = remember Silk Stalkings with Rob Estes & Mitzi Kapture, it went downhill after those two left, but loved trying to identify the locations, since that is my home town...the show was pretty good early on.
~San Diego = then there was yummy Lorenzo Lamas in Renegade who was better to look at than the scenery, but they did capture a lot of the east county in this show.
~Simon & Simon = where was their house...Pacific or Mission Beach...or?
~Florida = the infamous Miami Vice...some eye-candy for the girls again and my favorite episode was with Ted Nugent...but the beach scenes with the boat chases and that aqua water and the palms waving in the wind...sigh...great cars too.
~Florida = CSI Miami...I hate David Caruso but the rest of the cast was OK...but great houses and beautiful shots of Miami and the water.
~Florida = Flipper...well really, who wouldn't want a dolphin as a friend.
~Hawaii = well of course 5.0...just beautiful scenery all over the island.
~Hawaii = Magnum PI...I never cared for Tom Selleck early on, but eventually liked the show...great car and I always wished I had the ability to walk out my backyard and take a nice little swim in a Hawaiian cove.
