[PastorTheDoctor]

His voice sounds like a nigga's one

[eveningtsar]

I never knew FZ acted!

Watching this in rainy, wintry England, I am remnded how long it's been since I've been anyplace warm...

[Kurtiz76]

Now I've officially seen everything.

[thedeeliciousplum]

This is too funny! Yet, a reminder of this wonderful gentleman. I'll have to look for this episode. Thanks for sharing this.

[fridun007]

Good ol' TNN, now it's called spike.

[349crimson]

How is this episode called?

[MrBaebel]

Who are these two guys coming onboard Frank's nice yacht?

[gutterspdx]

The clip cut just as Frank is starting to say his lines.

[OdinLowe]

LOL IT'S FRANK

[GrandFunker]

I think I've seen this one...or did Don Johnson wear that same jacket in all the episodes? wait....I did see this one! They didn't go out on boats with hot chics in bikinis in every episode...yeah I saw this before

[DonInFremont]

This episode was written by Robert Crais, who has since become one of the great mystery writers of our time, creating Elvis Cole and Joe Pike.

i love youtube!

that's totally the chord sequence from It's My Life by Talk Talk

[Muaguana]

Intelligence isn't a factor in determining guests on the Howard Stern show, dipshit. If you heard other interviews or read works by Zappa or listened to his music, you'd realize that being on a talk show has no effect on a person's character or intellectual fortitude (of which you have neither, apparently).

[VddEnergise]

THAT MUSIC !!!!!!!!!!

[salvadorsimp]

Penn Jillette (of Penn & Teller) also appeared on the opening season episode of Miami Vice.

[tootsiejoon]

I have been saying this for over 20 years...this is the best tv series in history of television. Just everything about it was so cool and entertaining...great casr, crew guest stars..music, cars, places, and on and on. The best. I am a true fan (You probably noticed that) since 1984 when the first show was aired.

[BlaugranaBCN]

what is the Theme of this song? I want to download this music on emule.. thanx

[BeardyAirways]

It's called The Trial and The Search by Jan Hammer

[vinto34]

i forget which episode but he got in willie nelson as well....great series

[DEP717]

Props to Zappa! Miami Vice really got some cool guest stars. Zappa, Sheena Easton, G. Gordon Liddy, Jim Zubiena etc...

[fetchmybeer]

IIRC, Dweezil played in Don Johnson's "Heartbeat" video.

[vinto34]

smooth dude

[deadbydayinblack]

Think he did it for his son who loved the show.

[tootsiejoon]

What show??? If you mean miami vice show..you dont know what the fuck you're talking about..anybody was lucky enough to be in that show they were in high places and high respects..They actually promoted themselves by being chosen.. Frank zapz wanted to be in the show because it was a very big deal. Many top performers came to miami vice show...like phil collins..julia roberts..bruce willis,sheena easton and many more. This show was a BIG DEAL TO BE ON.

[PsytranceMan777]

What about Eddie Van Halen???

[yellowshark74]

:-D

[Chryslerdude]

Thanks, but what's up with the timing of the clip? About a minute of "boating", and a few seconds of Zappa...? I remember Zappa jumping overboard later on in that episode(from a smaller boat) PS: I think Don and Frank went to school together. Miles Davis was "guest appearing" in another episode..

[martini1179]

OMFG that was a great surprise. Zappa and Don Johnson!

[JerichoOne]

What's the name of the theme being played?

Thanks!

[eloco22]

"The Trial And The Search". This would be "The Search" bit.

[coolguyfromhollywood]

Great scene from the episode "Payback".

I love the Jan Hammer theme which is played.

"Payback" is one of the best episodes from Season Two.
