Key West was one of the best shows of the 90's,I looked forward to Tuesday nights on Fox.When Fox pulled the plug it was like a friend leaving town with no notice.Does anyone know of and copies out there or have any copies?Please let me know.
Many of you have said you have all the episodes on homemade DVD. I would LOVE to have those. If anyone is interested in burning those for me, I'd gladly pay for them. Please feel free to email me if you're interested in doing so.
YAY! I'm so excited just thinking about the possibility of seeing it again.

Does any of you know where you can get the DVD? it sucks! I looked all around the web and found nothing.. or at least if any of you own it, may be we can find a place to post it online so we can all remember the good times that this show gave us .. 
peace.

One of my all time favorites. I spent some time there and loved the area and its characters. I have most of them on VHS/DVD and would love to get the rest if anyone is interested in trading.
Living in Key West isn't exactly like this series, but it sure is fun to take a look at my neighborhood and what my friends looked like back in the day. The show used a lot of local people as extras. They treated everyone very well and many of the people I know were used in this great show. I found the complete series and own all 13 episodes on home made DVD. I heard they actually filmed 15 or 16 shows. Where are the lost episodes? What a great vehicle for a little time travel back to the early 90's.
Key West was, generally speaking, very well crafted, in some respects the electronic equivalent of a Ducornet or Borges novel. Produced in haste it nonetheless achieved a sense of intimacy and character development few series have ever matched much less surpassed. It deserved a better fate and a better network than Fox. Long gone, but Seamus, et al . . . are still there, writing their cyphers in the gulf breezes for those of us determined enough to chase them down. R.I.P.
I was quite saddened when this show was pulled. It was the first show I ever was interested in enough to actually watch every week. I didn't realize until recently that Key West first started airing on Fox's very first full week of programming. Too bad they killed the only decent show they had at the time! Luckily I found someone that had DVD's of the show [made from VHS tape] so I've now got them to at least prove to others that the show really exists since so few people ever heard of the show.
It never did "jump the shark" as it was the one of the best shows produced in the 1990's. I've never seen it since it went off the air in spring of 1993. To this day, I would like to purchase copies of this show on tape or DVD and haven't seen copies anywhere. I've even e-mailed Fox TV about where to get copies of this show and have had no luck. Such is the disappointment of TV programming in general, where good shows are never given a chance and garbage shows continue. The end result of all this bad programming is many viewers like myself spend much less time watching TV and take on other hobbies and pursuits instead. Need I say more?
This show started out with a cool idea: Guy working in a crap job and one day finds out he wins the lottery, then drives his car into the ocean and moves from New Jersey to Florida to live in the Keys. I thought this sounds great, he wins a ton of money and moves to a tropical paradise and wants to become a writer like Hemingway. But alas the fin came into sight and the jump happened when he loses all his lottery winnings to Student Loans. Are you kidding? The whole idea was to show what everybody dreams of winning the lottery, telling your boss to go to hell and move to Florida. But instead they did a 180 and had this guy scrounging for a job at the local paper, after that I completely lost interest. It blew DOG!
