Miami Vice - A Look Back

Miami Vice - A Look Back
Interviews from 2001 regarding Miami Vice,including Philip Michael Thomas,Olivia Brown & Sheena Easton.
Better version of the one I previously uploaded, with extra comments from Michael Mann & others.

[@paulcollins8856]

One of the most iconic scenes in television the Ferrari driving with the Phil Collins music in the background

[@jamesmcginnity1874]

I too miss Miami Vice. Greatest show, actors, cars, music, and boats.

[@Hot80s]

every friday night at 10 p.m. my dad & I would watch miami vice in the living room with the tv rca jacks hooked to the home stereo & lights off to make the show more focused & intense. It's still my favorite show.

[@bigsonny45]

Hot80s that's the exact same set up that me and my dad had!

[@markmiller6423]

Were you as frustrated with the lack of blood in shooting scenes as I was? NBC telling Michael Mann we don’t want to see blood on the show!! How dumb

[@stevedandy973]

The wife and I LOVED "Miami Vice." We were literally glued to the TV EVERY WEEK.

The Love I have for the first 2 Seasons of this Show knows no Boundaries...Season 3 was Great too! 4 & 5 were a little Rough but overall its an Amazing show & im forever impressed with how Michael Mann literally Changed Television in the 80s..♡

[@inbredagogo]

I remember when Miami Vice was among the top tv shows in the 80's. Hard to believe that it's been 30 years since the first episode came out.

[@romeopetrocchi7306]

It should come back with same actors

[@stevenhuynh1999]

@@romeopetrocchi7306 I missed it 2! But, the original casts are old now. I know Vin Diesel and the fast and furious team are trying to reboot it.

Miami Vice was the reason I stopped wearing socks back in the 80's.

[@dwaynejones1555]

0101 lol

[@jamesmurray3128]

Underwear too.

[@ladyteetee82]

I was 2 when Miami Vice first aired and 7 when the last season of the show ended and now as an adult I can't get enough of it. Miami Vice was and will always be an integral piece of 80's history. I believe what made it the best is two things: 1) the music, music, music! Phil Collins WAS Miami Vice and 2) the chemistry between Don Johnson and Phillip Michael Thomas was magic!

[@Scrapla1]

I remember my dad was a line man down in Miami during this time and he freaked out one night when he heard gun shots coming from everywhere until he realized oh their just filming a Miami Vice episode around the corner lol

[@Rogue_Nine416]

funny, my parents & grandparents are all from miami - my mom & dad would go and try to watch the filming whenever they could and befriended some of the production crew my grandpa, on the other hand, would avoid the filming like a plague because he wanted no part of it and it would back up traffic

[@rollotomasi8116]

MV and Magnum, two great TV icons that set the standards......the lifestyle changed back in the 80s, the trend setters, the hip talk, the drugs, and the music were emulated by everyone and almost everywhere on Friday nights at 10 the televisions were glued to the hippest style the world has ever experienced......it didn’t get any better than MV.

[@MultiMrMiles]

80s decade....the BEST BEST...my heart turned cold when the 80s were gone.

[@revertinotse8582]

We all would have Enjoyed Seeing Miami Vice even after the 80.s. Missed Everything from MV!!1985. We all want to Relive that Year

[@johnbanks4761]

i loved this show, great music..great sets, great fun, decent acting, great guest stars, action, comedic moments, dramatic moments..great stories..gotta hurry up and get that time machine

[@DebraNormand]

God do I miss MV too, and there will never be another show like it in television. It was a unique, one of a kind chemistry for that time period - the 80s. Sorry folks if you weren't there you missed one hell of a party. Thank god, I was there for the whole decade.

[@Savadorason1]

That was my show n those were suma the best yrs of my life.

[@evazkee7246]

Yup

[@execatty]

Ditto.. What a great time to be a kid

[@leomartin1603]

I remember seeing commercials before the shows debut. I Thought it was cool to see a BROTHER with green eyes getting his "PIMP" ON.

[@Savadorason1]

@@leomartin1603 -You could go to the clubs with the 80s r&b or techno house music on, knew you'd meet the women with the big hair & thick Madonna styled eyebrows, & we're wearing MV styled retro suits w the Drakar cologne, & some of the NY clubs closing at 4am or dawn with r&b slow jams playing just before closing. Even though you had to be aware of some uzi carrying crack dealer gangs cruisin by, the 80s was still a cool time to be a teen or young adult. But there were people who wouldn't go out on Fri. nights, or waited until later because they wanted to catch the latest episode of Miami Vice which went off at 11pm.

[@kevinnelson66]

It's been 35 years? Good God, I'm getting old.

[@TheLuscious]

Don Johnson did after Season 2 want to leave Miami Vice. Major drama. They even had a replacement lined up Mark Harmon. Yes that guy. Luckily Don came to his senses and finished out the rest of the show. Michael Mann does not get the credit he deserves for what he gave us with Miami Vice. Then 6 years later after it ended he gave us the 4 star classic HEAT with Pacino and DeNiro.

[@seanfree3821]

Michael mann was out in the second season. He didnt direct a single episode. The man was money. Not art.

[@eduardobsn83]

Don Johnson wanted more money at the end of Season 2

[@bailey9r]

And then Collateral !!!

Heat is a ten star classic.

[@tonyaraccaro6824]

I really miss Miami Vice wish it can come back on again.

[@foskten10]

At the end of the video PMT say's, *"I miss it... I REALLY miss it"*, and I know he truly does miss it because, sadly, it seems he never had the success he did when he starred on the greatest show the 80's ever produced. I don't know why PMT was overlooked the way he was but, just the same, he's done just fine but I still wish he'd had more success so we could have seen more of him over the years. Apart from DJ and EJO, the rest of the cast have never really been in the limelight since that time.

[@gluserty]

I feel this show, at its peak, told stories and did it in a creative way. Big Fan!

[@lindacollins903]

They are like peanut butter and jelly. You can't have one without the other. They are both so good looking and they exude coolness. I love their little side comments and conversations. Every time I rewatch the series on Peacock, I pickup on something I missed the time before

[@joshlevy706]

OMG....How this show changed TV....b/4 Miami Vice , no TV show had music that was as important to the show as the characters were...CLASSIC TV, no question.

They should have never ever ended Miami Vice~!

[@Hot80s]

its good they ended it, it would have crapped out if it continued

[@AQUAPHREESH193]

Hot80s it was already crapped out by season 5 😂😂😂😂

[@jabronis33]

The whole basis of Miami Vice was about drug smugglers and dealers which was going on in real life. When that stopped, the show did too.

[@AQUAPHREESH193]

Kevin K Lol but did drug dealing and smuggling really end in 1989 tho?

[@AQUAPHREESH193]

Venturi Atlantique that’s what I was saying lol

[@speedracer1945]

When this show came out right after Scarface movie and the colors and neon and the clothes and music made it a hit show . It didn't hurt that Michael Mann produced it . Too bad that re-make movie didn't have the magic from the TV series .My best seasons were 1+2 .

[@akfreed6949]

WTF u smokin? SCARFACE is the original .

[@stephenkissane4268]

The fashion over shadowed the show, the show had great stories, cars, the way it was filmed, atmosphere was immense. Also the sound track by jah hammer is excellent

[@miamiviceclips]

Need to back to 80's

[@sandroballester12]

they should do a one off episode just to satisfy fans and the curiosity in people to see where are crockett and tubbs are now

[@TheLuscious]

Phillip Michael Thomas I miss it too. It's been off the air 26 years. We need a reboot ASAP. Bring back Crockett and Tubbs and a younger fresher faced Miami Vice crew let them teach the young guns what they know. I'd watch that shit every week. I got seasons 1 2 and 5 of Miami Vice and 3 and 4 are next.

[@bonghunezhou5051]

[@TrilosonicResolutions]

@@bonghunezhou5051 I agree! There's probably two or three good episodes that came out of S3 and S4. Just terrible quality. Dick Wolf ran the show through the ground with his awful, ridiculous writing.

Arnold Bein That would be Marvelous Cant believe Tubbs never got another show

[@DarkLordDiablos]

+Arnold Bein That would be an interesting and entertaining episode as it would be a nod to Miami Vice. Its would also be great if they made it a afew episodes as it would allow them to use flashbacks to the show which would provide clues to solving the case.

[@fooman2108]

the thing that I always loved is that the Vice division the Miami/Dade was pretty small... the largest division was INTERNAL AFFAIRS, because of the amounts of money and merchandise they were dealing with (had a friend who spent most of the 80's working for them, then moved to DEA (and doing the same thing)).

About 30 years ago, an opinionated friend of mine found out I was a Vice fan when she actually tried to tell me that she didn't think people watched Vice because they liked it, just because it wasn't her kind of show, and that it didn't have talent or a plot LMAO! Said something similar about Magnum, PI.

I think we all miss the days of the 80's .. Even when people did bad things EVEN then it still had some kind of meaning or small sense to it .... Smoking was crazy cool and fast cars and free love was still in the air.... . Even when people were bad you still had people who cared . Im from the 80's .. And so are alot of you watching this video . And we actuly got to live the life of the 80's and i wouldnt trade it for the world .. And i wish we could all go back .CHEERS TO ALL the children of the 80's good times forever may we all meet back there one day .

is there another part to this?

[@sandygrungerson1177]

fashion didnt have a damn thing to do with the initial success, it was realism, character construction, dialogue, storywriting, and perfect musical choices..."out where the buses dont run" didnt rely on a damn fashion sense

[@timhoovermusicman]

Buses has maybe the all-time greatest endings ever!

[@michaelangelocostello2599]

The fashion helped put it on the map... if they made the show in Detroit it wouldn’t work; it was Miami and the pink and green colors, the music, the cars etc.

[@130hengineer]

Buses was my favorite episode.

[@TrilosonicResolutions]

You have to admit that the fashion and environment is absolutely striking... Had that episode been made in some dreary, gray city like Chicago it wouldn't have nearly the same reputation or effect!
