Wasn't this intended to be a Miami production? I vaguely recall that
Florida had big subsidies since Miami Vice (although I don't recall that
Miami Vice was subsidized) that expired. Nip/Tuck had been produced in
Miami and moved production elsewhere. There were two or three other
Miami-based productions that also ended or left.
