Talk:Don Johnson

Grammar (and meaning) in this sentence?

[edit]

"During the time he was on Miami Vice, he had set up an hour-long music video/pay cable program in the works, with videocassette versions of the programs Johnson had hosted being handled by distributor CBS/Fox Video, and the upcoming product will be a tie-in to his first album Heartbeat, which would be available for CBS/Epic Records."

I am not a native speaker, so I have to ask here, but this sentence seems strange. Could it be that it has grammatical errors?:

"set up (...) in the works"

& "During the time he was at Miami Vice (...) upcoming (...) will be { when? is that talking about NOW or the past? } (...) which would be (...)" { which time, and did it happen or was it just a possibility or plan which did/ will not necessarily ever materialise? }

(To me) It is not very clear in its message/ content...

Am I just being "stupid" today :-D (is my understanding of English too bad) or IS something wrong (and confusing) with this sentence? 2A02:3030:40A:A15B:1:0:2055:C4E9 (talk) 10:49, 29 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, it is confusing! You are NOT being stupid! Your English is great! I have noticed many people born in My country (USA) where English is the main language and taught very well in the elementary & high schools tend to get lazy when they get older and make many grammatical errors when writing! Even I do at times & I am one who corrects peoole when speaking to others! LOL! Now in reference to this, the author may also not be a native English speaker?! I have found many things wrong in this whole page! Mainly how many children Don Johnson has?! (It says 3, 4 & then 5!) LOL! So you are doing great and I applaud you learning more about the English language, Especially when it is not your native Language! Blessings to you!

over on side in Stats, it says "3 children, including Jessie & Dakota" both highlighted! Then reading under his personal life it says "Don was married 5 times to 4 women & has 4 children. One w Melanie & 3 w Kellie" (or whatever her name is?!)... But then below that it says Don has one son Jessie w one woman (& his name is highlighted& the name of his mom?) Then it says,Don has Dakota w Melanie(highlighted) ,& 3 chikdreb w last wife!
