The Bronx Is Burning - 5 - CAUGHT

- Опубликовано: 20 фев 2019
- the 1977 New York Yankees against the backdrop of New York City. Yankee superstar Reggie Jackson (Daniel Sunjata) and manager Billy Martin (John Turturro) are locked in a perpetual state of warfare. Jackson was a perfect foil for the scrappy Martin, a popular former Yankee player and reminder of the less complicated past of the team and the city. While owner George Steinbrenner (Oliver Platt) was a autocratic boss, he was also intent on keeping his promise to delivering a World Series title. The show also features subplots concerning the NYPD's pursuit of the Son of Sam serial killer that summer and the devastating blackout and resultant widespread looting in July, all while the city suffered through financial bankruptcy and massive municipal layoffs. Another subplot focused on the 1977 New York City Mayoral race featuring incumbent mayor Abraham Beame, former Congresswoman Bella Abzug, future Governor Mario Cuomo, and Congressman Ed Koch, the eventual winner.
Oliver Platt killed it in this role. He was perfect.
The cast was great.
He's an underrated actor
Yes, he's terrific as George Steinbrenner. 😁
Great actor
Baseball really lost a good one when Thurman Munson died….This was a great series
Whoever Played Mary Rivers, Mickey Rivers Wife Deserves an Emmy Award !!!!!!!!
Her name is Janine Green
And she's a honey bear too!
That's call a "exaggeration"
can you blame her, Mickey had a horrible habit is what makes it funny to the Yankee teammates: I was Born at night, But it wasn't last night-Reggie Jackson!
An Emmy for less than two minutes of screen time in a six-hour, eight part miniseries? 😁
All the cast were fantastic I agree, but Tommy Lasorda asking the umpire what he should do in that difficult situation, buying more time was classic 😂, they’ll never be another Tommy Lasorda!!!
LOL, that Miller Light ad reenactment was duplicated perfectly with frame by frame accuracy!
Background characters, clothing, mannerisms, movement, EVERYTHING! lol ; )
I feel for poor Gabe.
I've always liked Oliver Platt. He played an EXCELLENT George Steinbrenner.
Thank You for posting these! I think ESPN Films did a fantastic job with this whole series. I also agree with The Cancelling about Oliver Platt; he nailed this role. John Turtotro was also great as Billy Martin as well.
Micky Rivers wife was GANGSTA!! LOL
Yeah she wasn’t playing AT ALL
Find out about the Mercedes incident in the Yankee parking lot. It would take me too long to get into it, but it was hysterical and unreal what she did to him. Mickey had a problem with the ponies and some other investments, but he was a much loved character.
Daniel Zanier Mick the Quick
$300 for colon. Wtf 😂. Can’t blame her for getting mad lol. Rivers wasting money and asking for money lol
Mickey and Mary are the comic relief of the series!
Always thought that Billy and Reggie would've loved each other if they were together in Oakland or Baltimore.
That thin cop with the big mustache looks familiar from today’s shows. That Berkowitz looks just as crazy as hell.
'Tiny' Pinella... Great series... Numerous Embellishments! Very accurate timeline though regarding the city during that time period.
I remember that commercial..lol...@30:00
Whoa, Mickey Rivers' wife, what a piece of work!
Janine Green is the actress
how did the team win a WS with all the drama within the team? unreal! Billy and his drinking caused a lot of headaches for the team and organization. that cannot be denied. imagine how well the team would've played without all the drama coming from the bench/clubhouse, etc.
despite all this the TV special is terrific and i'm enjoying watching the Yankees
It’s a tribute to the immense talent they had early in the free agency era. And this mini-series does a great job bringing this real life soap opera to the screen!
Oakland A's had more drama and won 3 WS
the raiders & 90s cowboys were crazy, plus 86 mets wasnt choirboys
@@MrTom-jo4ph for real, not familiar with the 70s oakland teams
EVERY championship team has drama. It take personality, talent and drive to win a championship in any sport. With all of those qualities you also get ego. Ego wins championships. Ego causes drama, they are mutually exclusive there is no separation of the two. You want to win, you have to be able to deal with drama.
35:00 I can't guarantee this didn't happen in 1977, but the whole bunting situation with Reggie feels like they took creative liberties with the actual bunting controversy from the following year, 1978, that led to Martin suspending Reggie and then uttering the infamous "One's a born liar the other's convicted" line that finally got him fired the first time. And yeah, I'm willing to bet Munson's jab at Fisk they just stole from Clu Heywood in "Major League"
23:00 And that is how it happened.
Munson's beard lots a lot more like heavy razor stubble than it does a beard.
David Berkowitz is up for parole this coming year in 2024.
Keeping him in prison for so long is just plain mean and cruel. Just let him go home
i thought he was dead, i know he's been attacked TWICE while in Prison.
I forgot what a great series this was. I also forgot what a complete piece of shit Dunleavy was.
Just remember what paper he worked for - and who STILL owns it.
@@stevensica89 Murdoch? Did Murdoch own it in '77? His is the only name that comes to mind.
@@UNUSUALUSERNAME220 Yep. At one point he had to sell it., I think it was purchased by Peter Kalikow, but RM later reacquired it. Fox News is just the broadcast version of the NY Post. RM is a monster but interestingly enough, even his critics concede that he is likely the most knowable man alive, at least in the English-speaking world, about all aspects of the newspaper biz.
@@stevensica89 Alot of knowledge about a busted industry. I was a printer for 25 years. Worked for all the big ones in Chicago. Murdoch does not hold a candle to Conrad Black. That guy was a POS!
Babe Ruth took the sports writers out for drinks and treated them like friends, so it’s very difficult to bad mouth your friends. 😅😅😅😅 get it. These babies aren’t smart enough to figure that out.
This series portrayed Jimmy Breslin as though he was almost heroic in the pursuit of David “Son of Sam” Berkowitz (and, naturally, portrayed his rival Steve Dunleavy of the NY Post as some kind of heartless, glory seeking asshole.) Remember one thing when watching the “Son of Sam” segments, particularly regarding Breslin and Dunleavy - Breslin was a consultant on the series.
In reality, the police didn’t see it that way. In fact, many felt that Breslin actually did more harm than good. In his book “Whoever Fights Monsters”, famed FBI profiler Robert Ressler wrote that many cops felt that Breslin should NOT have answered or otherwise publicly responded to Berkowitz’s letters. Ressler in fact stops just short of placing some of the blame for Berkowitz’s later murders on Breslin, saying that he may have inspired Berkowitz to continue by giving him the publicity he wanted.
That's a good point. But, Dunleavy still was a POS.
@@UNUSUALUSERNAME220 Dunleavy was the inspiration for the character of Peter Fallow, a publicity-seeking journalist, in the novel The Bonfire of the Vanities. Some say the character was based on Christopher Hitchens, but I don't see it.
@@NJGuy1973 BOTH are unspeakable creatures.
The Boss was terrified of the homegirl married to Mick the Quick. Was that real or just for effect?
I have a Ruger 357, that looks like a bulldog.
The 'fired' Bud Light commercial happened in 80, I believe... Not like they're showing it here... It's vague, but I do remember it.. I think this is inaccurate. Anywho great for theater... I remember 77 almost like yesterday. 100 degree temperature, The Bronx and Bushwick, Brooklyn Fires, Son of Sam drama, blackout, AFNL bombings, Yankees Penant, Model Building, Stickball in the street, Scully, the mayoral rat race, STAR WARS, Saturday Night Fever, Close Encounters of the 3rd Kind. the trips to upstate NY. etc. As a kid in New York, from 77 on till about 85 when I joined the Navy, it was a great time. I can't complain. Always ups and downs, but overall the best time of my life probably.
Tastes great less filling Miller Light
Why wasn’t Mickey Rivers banned for gambling, his wife tells everyone
The likely reason is that he bet on stupid things like cockfighting, not baseball. When it came to gambling by players, the NFL was always more strict than the MLB, the NFL banning or threatening to ban players for even ASSOCIATING with gamblers (see Alex Karras and Joe Namath), while the MLB only went after those suspected of gambling on the game itself.
@@brad9956 Yes they are because after the black Sox scandal they laid down horrible rules. Still have them.
@@brad9956 Lou Piniella was even more into gambling. He was a big horse racing and dog racing fan. So long as they didn't bet on baseball, MLB didn't care.
Really a good job casting. Just can’t really gaf about the son of Sam part. But I’m not from nyc. I could imagine it was quite a summer back then. Anyone under 35 prolly couldn’t imagine nyc being such a mess like it was for so long.
In Mat 2022 it STILL IS a mess.
@stevensica89 it's nothing like it was before Rudy cleaned it up. You can still take your family out to Times Square, see a show and grab a bite to eat... although mayor's like Bill DeBlasio and Eric Adams are doing a good job reversing all of Rudy's progress.
27:35 August 16,1977
ESPN needs to do a series on the 90s Cowboys
How do they make that one without it being R rated?
How big of a trainwreck were they? Cant be as comical as the 77 yanks can it?
15:41 Reggie may have struck out a lot, but he had the best on-base percentage (.375) on that team. I truly believe that had Reggie batted fourth all year long, there would have been no race, the Yanks would have led wire-to-wire.
And here we are 45 years later and no one cares how often a player strikes out as long as they hit it out of the park enough, even from the lead off spot like Aaron Judge. The game has certainly changed for the worse in the last few decades.
@@stever7157 Strikeouts are no worse than any other type of out.
@@dash_r_media I disagree to a point. If you put the ball in play on an out you can sometimes advance the runners on base. With a strikeout you get nothing.
@@stever7157 And putting the ball in play sometimes leads to double plays. There's a pro on one side, a con on the other, but on balance a strikeout is no worse than any other out.
@@stever7157 Well, it has changed in favor of more offense, s that is what fans want to see. There are only so many 2-1 pitchers' duels on can sit through in a season.

This series makes Lou Panella look like a snake
I remember after 9/11, i saw a sign that choked me up, the south has always had a running feud with New York, even commercials about getting a rope because a cook was from New York City. But i saw that sign in Texas that said. WERE WITH YOU NEW YORK! We can fight with them but foreigners can’t.
Everyone hates the media yet people made it look like Trump was the only one that did hahahahaha. And this attitude is across the board in every field, they blame the media for the death of Princess Diana for chasing her and causing her driver to have a wreck.
