Miami Vice - Season 1 Episode 1 | NBC Classics

[@d.c.barker]

As someone who was a teenager in the 80's....Miami Vice was the epitome of drama, style, and music we all loved. 😎👍

[@player4life11111]

You grew up in the best generation ever!

[@michaelbrinks8089]

In the mid 80s when I was in jr high, I used to watch this on TV in isolated small town northern illinois. Then ended up moving a couple months later from IL to Tampa FL... It wasn't Miami but was much closer to and seemed like a world away from small town ILL.

[@johnflowers2736]

@@michaelbrinks8089 Same-I was in Middle School when Miami Vice first aired. It was such an impact on my development in tv viewing that it served as a bridge from sit coms to my first "Grown Up" Show I ever enjoyed and ended up being my favorite to this very day 👍

[@richardwashington4664]

“Can it wait??? I’m a little busy right now.” I fell in love with this show after that dialogue!!

[@georgehenderson7783]

That made me spit my coffee out!

[@NfiniteLogic713]

I remember being 5 and watching this on NBC in the Fall of 1984 (showing my age. lol). All these years later, still gives the same goosebumps. Have the complete box set and find myself still watching. Amazing show that will continue to stand the test of time as one of the greatest shows of the 80s!

[@rifletwist]

THANK YOU! I remember this like it was yesterday and have not seen it for 30 years. God bless.

[@happymonk4206]

Nothin like a sawed off double barrel shot gun. I also was a 80s kid. Absolutley loved this television series. The cars, the women, the atmophere. The air tonight. I just loved the 80s im general. Miss those days.

[@bertmustin]

Such a contrast between dark and gritty NYC to sunny and colorful Miami.

[@Cj-lo3ck]

Because nyc is more corporate an Florida Is open trade farming state maybe I'm wrong but I noticed that an how Crockett was out of place when he went to nyc

[@1AppleofEden]

The Genius Michael MANN made all of this possible, just like his amazing films, such as, for one, "Band of the Hand."

[@richardcalisi9188]

80's and 90's were the best ERA EVER

[@Rico-ow3ys]

The pilot, that started a sensation.

[@thblkhnd]

Tubbs saw the "Punks" coming a mile away. Probably way before they got 100ft to his car. Put the car window down real cool-like. ...." Can't it wait?!!! ....I'm a little busy right now." Can't get enough of that scene and background song.

[@AldenRDavis]

I love this show. They even nicknamed it “MTV COPS.” I wish that they brought it back in a new way.

[@jimtreebob2096]

It’s a great show, but there’s no way they’d be able to bring it back properly. This show was lightning in a bottle, there’s no recapturing the magic.

[@Salmiyaguy1]

now the memo from Brandon Tartikoff that create the series would say "Tik Tok Cops" not MTV cops.

A new way, means utterly destroying every aspect that made it so good in the first place

Sorry, but this is exactly how it all happened..."Miami Vice" w/Crockett & Tubbs was so incredibly well done that it actually put Miami FL back on the tourist map. This one TV series did that. I wouldn't have missed watching it every friday night for the world. We vacationed there for 2 weeks & loved every minute. I own many episodes & Don Johnson will never be kicked outta my bed!

[@ComputerLearning0]

20 years ago I originally bought the faux alligator skin white DVD boxed set. At the time it cost $125 and the quality and presentation were very good but a few years ago they remastered it on BluRay and my son bought it for me for Christmas and I re-watched one episode side-by-side, one on DVD and the other on BluRay just to see the difference and it was much better. It wasn't as good as if it were shot today but was still very good. The BluRay 'HD' version has a simple paper box but the whole set only cost around $40 compared to the $125 the original DVD boxed set cost. When it first came out in the 90's the same DVD boxed set cost around $250 ! Interesting fact: 'Calderone' (Miguel Piñero) actually wrote one the best episodes of the series, Smugglers Blues. Miguel appeared in three episodes of Vice, twice in season one as drug trafficker 'Esteban Calderone', and once more in the season two opener, The Prodigal Son, as the New York drug kingpin 'Esteban Revilla'. In both episodes he was shot and killed. Miguel appeared in three of my favorite episodes. I have other favorites but these three are definitely among them. Miguel was an amazing writer and his untimely death in 1988 of liver disease was a big loss. Miguel Piñero helped make Miami Vice the success it was and he is greatly missed :>\

I was soooo into that show. That show did things that had never been done before. Super ultra hip clothes... new wave everything to the max. Amazing photography, the latest and coolest music, ultra modern and trendy sets and scenery...Michael Mann was so innovative and Jan Hammer's amazing song...What talent. Only us fans know the correct way to pronounce Jan. I still have my Miami Vice calendar. Music and fashion slowly went downhill after the very early 90's.
