The Top Miami Vice guest stars as they was a bucketload from Dennis Farina, Wesley Snipes, Glenn Frey, Phil Collins, John Leguizamo, Julia Roberts etc etc..... A lot of these were screen debuts or boosting existing names.
Miami Vice, Literally a series that was ahead of it's time. What an era. The nostalgia is real man. Been re-watching the entire series these past months, and what a time. Don't think any show can come close too it these days. Sad that the era, is long past. Iconic storyline, themes, instrumentals, characters and so much more. Legendary. Such an impact this show had on people.
You were certainly right to add Shadow In The Dark, but how are these NOT on the list?! Little Miss Dangerous The Good Collar Calderone's Return: The Hit List
Definitely Miami was definitely one of the best for sure. The 'Cry' sequence is still one of the best that's graced TV in all of TV's history. And they put the song in one of my favorite video games! It's set in fictionalized New York City, but it still has that vibe when you grab a sports car and drive towards the sunset.
I am genuinely curious why Definitely Miami is a fan favorite? I thought the Femme Fatale was incredibly annoying especially since Sonny wanted nothing to do with her. And the plotline was pretty standard compared to other amazing episodes.
@@sumoni The Cry sequence really made it, I think. We get many gems in one scene: a despicable villain shot to death, the lady goes to prison, epic angry stare by Castillo, the song itself, and great cinematography.
@@sumoni Crockett walking the beach to meet Callie, only to have her taken into custody, he doesnt say a word to her, just slips on the shades, and watches her being escorted by Miami PD, then he just turns towards the horizon while "Cry" plays. Its epic.
Yeah I always wondered if it was sound enhanced? Because if you watch episodes of Magnum at the same time zone his 45 sounded so loud even in the distance well I got a 45 and it doesn't really sound like that as a matter of fact not really any pistol sounds like that
Friday nights at 10:00 PM......everything and just about everybody stopped what they were doing to watch Miami Vice......the clothes, the music, the pastel shades were consuming for everyone......long live Miami Vice......
My personal favorites are : -Stone's war -Smuggler's blues -Prodigal Son -Deliver us from evil -Evan -Little Miss Dangerous -Brother's keeper -Golden Triangle (Part II) -When Irish Eyes are crying -Like a hurricane
I agree about "Home Invaders." Also, Calderone's Return (parts I and II) are easily two of my absolute favorite episodes of the show. I also love "Smuggler's Blues" and "Prodigal Son." Paul Michael Glaser did an excellent job with the episodes he directed. Thomas Carter did an amazing job directing the pilot "Brother's Keeper," including creating the iconic "In the Air Tonight" scene that wasn't even in the script. The pilot is my #1 because it set the tone for the entire series. I also loved "Rites of Passage" with the introduction of Valerie and the unforgettable use of "I Want to Know What Love Is." That was one of the most powerful uses of music in a scene to me. My other favorite episodes are "Cool Runnings" (introduction to Noogie) and "The Great McCarthy." Seasons 1 and 2 of MV are nearly flawless.
The end of Calderon's Return Part 2, with Tina over the credits, is the best of the whole series. Despite the fact that they recycled the boat trip from Part 1, and flipped the image to make it look like they were going the opposite direction.
The funny thing is, I remember watching Miami Vice when it was originally on, and I can't remember, or think of, a single episode that I didn't think was well done and that I didn't enjoy. The quality control on everything on those shows was just amazing, from the writing, to the acting, to the music, to the entire production. But, if I guess if I had to pick one episode, Glades, was always my favorite. Just the clip of the Crockett and Tubbs rolling across Florida on Hwy 41in the Daytona with "Girls with Guns" by Tommy Shaw was one of the coolest scenes ever.
It was a good episode, with a good story. Saving the grower's daughter was a great way of focusing Crockett idea of his job. "Lady, our job is to BUST people like you." When in fact, Crockett's job was to protect the innocent. If it's by busting dope dealers, then so be it. And if it's by teaming up with them, to save the life of an innocent child, then that's what needs to happen. Like, he'd been busting dealers and suppliers for so long, he needed reminding of WHY he did it, beyond just the job. That said, two guys driving into the Everglades to go fishing, in a Ferrari WAS a tad ridiculous. I'm sure the department could have found a Jeep, or something, to be less conspicuous.
At 4:00 it references Prodigal Son, but the scene which immediately follows is not from Prodigal Son, but rather from Yankee Dollar (season 2 episode 14)
The answer is Michael Mann who tried to recreate a movie from his old series Miami Vice but failed to click with the audience with the miscast of the stars Crockett and Tubbs .
Sorry, but "Death and the Lady" and "Evan" are missing. Together with "Shadow in the Dark" these three episodes are just masterpieces. In these episodes, everything is perfect, including the story and the characters. "Definetely Miami" is outstanding for it´s artwork and setting, but the two stories told in this episode are rather simple. Greetings from Berlin, Germany.
1) Forgive Us Our Debts 2) Out where the buses don't run 3) Death and the Lady 4) Milk Run 5) Mirror Image trilogy 6) Phil The Shill 7) Payback 8) Yankee Dollar 9) Deliver Us From Evil 10) Red Tape
mirror image triology should be near the top of any top episode lists. Could have made it last through all of season 5 and then done another season or two. Its like they gave up when there was so much more greatness left to explore.
A few overlooked ones for me 1. Pt 1. Calderon's hit list 2. Rites of Passage 3. Buddies 4. The Good Collar 5. Red Tape 6. Childs Play 7. Line of Fire. Not having Evan was really bad to forget. Im pretty good with the rest of the list.
1. Out Where the Buses Don't Run 2. Forgive Us Our Debts 3. Evan 4. Brother's Keeper 5. Payback 6. Walk-Alone 7. Sons and Lovers 8. The Prodigal Son 9. The Good Collar 10. Duty and Honor
The Calderone Returns episodes where amazing, definitely top 10, especially considering the hitman hired to kill Crockett paved the way for Lt Castillos tenure on the show.
My top 10 are: 1. Definitely Miami 2. The Prodigal Son 3. Yankee Dollar 4. Brother's Keeper (pilot) 5. Sons and Lovers 6. Calderon's Return (part 2) 7. No Exit 8. Smugglers Blues 9. Out Where the Buses Don't Run 10. The Good Collar
I brothers keeper 2 evan 3 home invaders 4 Calderons return part 1 5 smuggers blues 6 heart of darkness 7 out where the busses don't run 8 no exit 9 one eyed jack 10 cool runnings
My favorites were Brothers keeper Prodigal son Sons and lovers... This show changed everything... The music... The fashion... The story lines.... And... A big-time twist... The good guys didn't always win!
All a matter of opinion 1. Definitely Miami 2. One Eyed Jack 3. Bought and Paid For 4. Smugglers Blues 5. Evan 6. Out Where The Buses Don't Run 7. Brothers Keeper 8. The Prodigal Son 9. No Exit 10. Phil the Shill 11. Mirror Image + Hostile Takeover + Redemption in Blood
1. Lombard 2. Out Where the Buses Don't Run 3. Definitely Miami 4. Payback 5. Shadows in the Dark 6. Yankee Dollar 7. Prodigal Son 8. Rites of Passage 9. No Exit 10. Bushido
@@visioncreativestudios7191 True, I rarely see anyone rank it. Probably the most underrated episode of Season 1. It's also where we first see Lombard played by Dennis Farina, and a great story, the style, music, epic 80s club scene, what more do you want from an episode of Miami Vice? I guess it's just hard because especially when it comes to the first two seasons, it's ALL amazing.
@@Streetw1s3r I AGREE! as a kid I always loved the opening segment of the show where Crockett and Tubbs have to subdue a larger, stronger opponent. I always felt that it showed how you can have fun with the characters and not always let them dominate their opponents. They were always cool, but that made them also more down to earth, (if that makes sense).
When Evan asks Crockett, "How does it feel to be perfect?" Crockett is obviously puzzled and uncomprehending. Evan, who turned against Orgel due to his own homophobia, sees Sonny as perfect since he did not ostracize Orgel, while ironically Crockett feels guilt for his own imperfection in not taking more decisive action to back Orgel.
Classic TV drama....like no other. So original. The impact this show had on entertaiinment in how it was produced and filmed. And how it actually managed to turn a dead street (South Beach) into a hot spot. Made Miami what is it today. Good and the bad. Mostly the good. What was funny was seeing guys walking around dressing like Sonny Crocket. :)) Wearing pastels anyhwere but Miami or the tropics.....made them look ridiculous ... There's never been a show like MV. The Sopranos....kind of similar. Would have liked to have seen MV on HBO so they could "go further" like they did in The Sopranos.
Shadow in the Dark, No Exit, Prodigal Son 1&2, Brother's Keeper(Piolet 1&2)and Where the buses don't run are among my personal Top Ten List hands down. I like the 3 Part Series the end of Season 4 & Beginning of Season 5 where Crockett becomes Sony Burnett the Drug Dealer in his temporary reality. I think "Mirror Image" is the name of the 1st of the 3 Part Series. That 3 Part Episode would be among my favs too 👍
This shows us what a fantastic series MV was. Here are my choices: 1) *"Sons And Lovers"* 2) *"My Brother's Keeper"* 3) *"Definitely Miami"* 4) *"Glades"* 5) *"Blood And Roses"* 6) *"When Irish Eyes Are Crying"* 7) *"Down For The Count (Pt. I)"* 8) *"Bought And Paid For"* 9) *"No Exit"* There is one or two more, but I don't remember what episodes they were...
I think Evan is no. 1. It dealt with homophobia, homosexuality, guilt, redemption with respect when the gay community was being demonized because of the AIDS epidemic. It also opened and closed with 2 great Peter Gabriel songs Rhythm of The Heat and closed with Biko. And no. 2 is Out Where The Buses Don’t Run.
I loved this list, but I would expand it to top 20, to include: - Junk Love, (S2 E7) -Bushido (S2 E9) -Free Verse (S2 E21) -Little Miss Dangerous (S2 E16) -One Way Ticket (S2 E15) -Phil The Shill (S2 E12)
In retrospect, this show is corny as hell today but I loved it then and find myself watching these clips over and over and over again. Even bought Starz streaming package so I could binge the entire series for the 11th time. I miss the '80s.
I miss the 80s too and I'm to young to have even experience that decade 😂😂. It was an incredible decade in all areas. Hair, makeup, fashion, music, television, politics etc
Not me. Once is enough. I always look to the future. You cannot stop it (or boom). And that's the bottom line cause Stone Cold said so (from 976-CREOLEMAN)!
I agree with Out Where The Buses Don't Run being number one but Evan should be nr.2, Heart of Darkness nr.3, El Viejo nr. 4, The Good Collar nr.5 & Definetly Miami nr.6
The only one I'd argue with being on there is Heart Of Darkness, Some of the scenes just didn't work but otherwise a solid list - although I think there's definitely enough good episodes to do a top 20 (sadly thanks to Season 4 and some of season 5 you could probably do a 10 worst episodes as well) and yeah, would have to agree with Out Where The Buses for #1 - just an incredible hour of television
Definitely Top Five. I published an article on the use of songs in MV "Picture Book" was top five. Others " Cry" " Brothers in Arms" " We Do What We're Told" " Smugglers Blues" are brilliant in the use of combining music and image
I just watched Heart of Darkness. What a great episode! Dark and disturbing. Felt like a movie. I remember not wanting it to end. Just outstanding on every level.❤❤❤
Miami Vice greatest season was it's 2nd season with the tip episodes being Son's & Lovers, Payback, Out where the buses don't run Definately Miami, Back in the World and One way Ticket. This was Miami Vice at the top of it's game. Freeze Vice, Miami.🥴
I didn't care for the guest appearances by non-actors just because they were celebrities during season 2. There were some where the guest appearance was quick and inobtrusive (like Little Richard in "Out Where the Buses Don't Run"), but then there were the episodes where I'd be saying to myself "Maybe if they'd had an actual actor in this part" (e.g., "Phil, the Shill" or the episode with Danny Sullivan).
What would you like us to rank next? 🔝

Little Miss Dangerous is still the one that I remember the most, so shocking at that time, still hear that song in my head from time to time
Same here. It was groundbreaking.
And perfectly acted by Fiona. She played that damaged soul better than most experienced actors could.
This is what you want, this is what you get…. Great episode!
Bit disappointed there's no "Evan" or "Little Miss Dangerous" among the top ten
In terms of Don Johnson's acting, 'Shadow in the Dark' was undoubtedly his best episode.
Without a doubt 👌
Along with jan hammers soundtrack
Death and the Lady is pretty damn good acting too. Especially the ending with Milton Glantz. Child's Play moment with Castillo was amazing too.
One of my favourite episodes.
I truly believe that Shadow in the Dark inspired the psychological thriller crime dramas. Movies like The Silence of the Lambs and Seven.
@@thee20thdoctor18

true crime ny right? dont remember that song in it tho it had some bangers
And this show along with A team, Simon and Simon, Ripetide etc etc shows how real stunts can't be replaced with CGI. Man I miss the 80's
Well done, you got the #1 and #2 exactly right. Out where the Buses Don't Run was the best single episode of any cop show in the history of TV
I always liked how Crockett's gun fire sound was so bass heavy and louder than the rest.
Yeah I always wondered if it was sound enhanced? Because if you watch episodes of Magnum at the same time zone his 45 sounded so loud even in the distance well I got a 45 and it doesn't really sound like that as a matter of fact not really any pistol sounds like that
Well for the first year or so Sonny used a Bren 10mm.....
It does have a very different sound to it but yes it was enhanced also
Friday nights at 10:00 PM......everything and just about everybody stopped what they were doing to watch Miami Vice......the clothes, the music, the pastel shades were consuming for everyone......long live Miami Vice......
As a kid, I couldn’t wait to see it. Had to fight my sister and mom to leave me alone and not to touch the channel!
Fairly good list but Evan or Payback omitted cannot be!
My personal favorites are :
-Stone's war
-Smuggler's blues
-Prodigal Son
-Deliver us from evil
-Evan
-Little Miss Dangerous
-Brother's keeper
-Golden Triangle (Part II)
-When Irish Eyes are crying
-Like a hurricane
Definitely Miami. " No matter how hot it gets you just gotta keep telling yourself sooner or later a cool breeze is coming in." Words to live by.
Nice list I was also kind of partial to "The Home Invaders" episode 20 season 1 and both of the "Calderon's Return" episodes from season 1
Home Invaders not being on the list makes the list suspect. Lol
I agree about "Home Invaders." Also, Calderone's Return (parts I and II) are easily two of my absolute favorite episodes of the show. I also love "Smuggler's Blues" and "Prodigal Son."

Dire straits Brothers in arms
Michael Mann hit the nail on the head with that scene as the Daytona Ferrari sped off
Pretty good list but “Evan” is hands down the best episode of Vice.
And you’ve got “Prodigal Son” on your list but the clips are from “Yankee Dollar”.
By far and away the best episode, I agree!
I've never seen Evan because all the streaming sites I watched this on didn't have it. I will have to check again.
Evan👍
I never got the love for “Evan” it’s good but Out Where The Buses Don’t Run is the best
"Evan" is an absolute must. I would also add "Nobody Lives Forever."
The funny thing is, I remember watching Miami Vice when it was originally on, and I can't remember, or think of, a single episode that I didn't think was well done and that I didn't enjoy.

Love Miami Vice so much

Best Question is did crockett really need to run on the table to catch dude 😂
And step on that wonderful buffet. 😢
08:01 Tubbs did not
İ love that series so much pals
The episode with Willie Nelson is in my top 3.
El Viejo is very underrated
That was the first thing I ever saw Steve Buscemi in.
I’m glad they released this all on blu ray. I would to see a 4k release someday
I am fun of Miami Vice!!!♥️
Thank you so much from Greece!!!!🇬🇷
I love Miami Vice ❤️❤️❤️
Where’s “Evan”?
Probably didn't make the cut due to it being hard to find on syndication and streamjng.
The best episode
No one will ever be able to duplicate this show...we had it all and didn’t even realize it...I love Miami Vice!!!
The answer is Michael Mann who tried to recreate a movie from his old series Miami Vice but failed to click with the audience with the miscast of the stars Crockett and Tubbs .
@@speedracer1945Correct..... Crockett was the star and Tubbs was the sidekick....

I agree. Pretty unforgivable they left out Evan
#5 was “Yankee Dollar” Season 2, episode 14, not “The Prodigal Son” which is Season 2,episode 1. Still a good list!

Death And The Lady to me will always be my #1 episode. The darkest and very moody music by Jan Hammer (from 976-CREOLEMAN).
We had some great times
No "Walk Alone"! I think you'll have to do a top 50 episodes to get everyone's favourite in! Was this list done a poll?
Classic TV drama....like no other. So original. The impact this show had on entertaiinment in how it was produced and filmed. And how it actually managed to turn a dead street (South Beach) into a hot spot. Made Miami what is it today. Good and the bad. Mostly the good.

Down for the count was probably my least favourite because zito died and he was my favourite character
@@llildrzpyllil5835 That's understandable...
Είναι η καλύτερη σειρά!!♥️Miami Vice♥️
Δεν μπορώ να διαλέξω τι θέλω να δω♥️
How could Evan & Junk Love not be on this list???
I think Evan is no. 1. It dealt with homophobia, homosexuality, guilt, redemption with respect when the gay community was being demonized because of the AIDS epidemic. It also opened and closed with 2 great Peter Gabriel songs Rhythm of The Heat and closed with Biko.
And no. 2 is Out Where The Buses Don’t Run.
My favorite espoide is mirror image from season 4
I loved this list, but I would expand it to top 20, to include:
- Junk Love, (S2 E7)
-Bushido (S2 E9)
-Free Verse (S2 E21)
-Little Miss Dangerous (S2 E16)
-One Way Ticket (S2 E15)
-Phil The Shill (S2 E12)
Exceptional episode choices. Would love a “Best Scenes by Fans” video.
Wish they make shows like these.
In retrospect, this show is corny as hell today but I loved it then and find myself watching these clips over and over and over again. Even bought Starz streaming package so I could binge the entire series for the 11th time. I miss the '80s.
I miss the 80s too and I'm to young to have even experience that decade 😂😂. It was an incredible decade in all areas. Hair, makeup, fashion, music, television, politics etc
Not me. Once is enough. I always look to the future. You cannot stop it (or boom). And that's the bottom line cause Stone Cold said so (from 976-CREOLEMAN)!
@@marcelmischeaux7256 Wrestling is fake.
Down For the Count when Zito is murdered is one of the saddest.
Jilambu Mustafa says ba fangul is the best episode of the series.
Hated that episode.
Ridiculous plot.
Oh well😉
Missing from the list: The Good Collar, Down For The Count, Redemption In Blood.
I noticed that all 10 episodes were from the first 3 seasons.
I agree with Out Where The Buses Don't Run being number one but Evan should be nr.2, Heart of Darkness nr.3, El Viejo nr. 4, The Good Collar nr.5 & Definetly Miami nr.6
Evan has basically been disowned due to some language used in the episode. Some streamers don't even play it
All good episodes. Such a awesome show. ❤️
The only one I'd argue with being on there is Heart Of Darkness, Some of the scenes just didn't work but otherwise a solid list - although I think there's definitely enough good episodes to do a top 20 (sadly thanks to Season 4 and some of season 5 you could probably do a 10 worst episodes as well) and yeah, would have to agree with Out Where The Buses for #1 - just an incredible hour of television
Agree with that.. Dire straits 👌
TV GUIDE named it one of the Fifty Greatest Episodes of All- Time.
Good list but "The Good Collar" will forever be my favorite
That's my favorite, too, so good.
same
Definitely Top Five.
I published an article on the use of songs in MV
"Picture Book" was top five.
Others " Cry" " Brothers in Arms" " We Do What We're Told" " Smugglers Blues" are brilliant in the use of combining music and image
Don't know if its already been mentioned. But those clips for #5 "Prodigal Son" are not from that episode
Top 10 best guest stars
I can't believe Evan was not in this list.
I just watched Heart of Darkness. What a great episode! Dark and disturbing. Felt like a movie. I remember not wanting it to end. Just outstanding on every level.❤❤❤
Damn, Evan didn't make the list?
Miami Vice greatest season was it's 2nd season with the tip episodes being Son's & Lovers, Payback, Out where the buses don't run Definately Miami, Back in the World and One way Ticket. This was Miami Vice at the top of it's game. Freeze Vice, Miami.🥴
Tale of the Goat,Trust Fund Pirates,Yankee Dollar.Prodigal Son.I can't argue with your picks either.
That’s your opinion. They got 15 Emmy nominations for Season 1
I didn't care for the guest appearances by non-actors just because they were celebrities during season 2. There were some where the guest appearance was quick and inobtrusive (like Little Richard in "Out Where the Buses Don't Run"), but then there were the episodes where I'd be saying to myself "Maybe if they'd had an actual actor in this part" (e.g., "Phil, the Shill" or the episode with Danny Sullivan).
One Way Ticket is underrated.
"This is the Lance Vance Dance"
I love "Deliver Us From Evil". ❣
Not bad,Definitely Miami is supreme. However,MADE FOR EACH OTHER,DOWN FOR THE COUNT,SMUGGLER'S BLUES AND VIKING BIKERS FROM HELL
Bushido, The Great McCarthy and the Fix would be in my top 10.
