Miami Vice the greatest show of all time. Don Johnson and PMT were born to play Crockett and Tubbs and together they made TV history. Michael Mann should have cast them in the 2006 movie. Maybe it would have been a hit. I like Colin Farrell and Jamie Foxx but they're no Don Johnson and Philip Michael Thomas ♥️😎
True Dat, the Miami Vice movie had a colour palette, look and feel that was more akin to Heat than the show it was based on (despite reusing elements of episodes like Smugglers Blue). Ain't nobody does Crockett & Tubbs better the DJ & PMT they are the OG.
Many think the 4 episodes of Crockett snapping and being a villain with DID and amnesia was jumping the shark, but I think in this context and with the character development throughout the show it makes perfect sense. The Ed O'Neil episode and "where the busses don't run" practically foreshadow it.
So does Season 1's "Evan." And then the callbacks in the S4 clip show episode "A Bullet for Crockett" right before Crockett goes Burnett. Small moments in season 2 like the endings of "Definitely Miami" and "Little Miss Dangerous" really do a number on the detectives' morale. Crockett gets noticably more ruthless in season 4 with "Death and the Lady." The Valerie and Calderone storylines seemed to deeply trouble Tubbs. A lot of foreshadowing for Crockett and Tubbs' mental health issues throughout the series. You get a clear sense of their mounting burnout long before they quit the force in the series finale.
No matter what I was doing back when Miami Vice was on every week I always made special time to watch this show , a lot of people still don’t know that when series was being made it really was there in Miami and Don Johnson raced power boats he was always busy doing things back then
Best show ever... was so good it made you feel a part of each episode each week. I couldn't look away. Loved all the cast.... added to each character of the show. Sonny Crocket /Don Johnson was a serious and humorous actor. And very Good looking!! Perfect Show!
I was 20 when the show first aired and it's still one of the best TV shows in history. I have it on Blu Ray and play it my near 4K Sony player. The show has never looked better.
I started watching Miami Vice this month - Crocket and Tubbs are just awesome! I was watching it on Tubi, but it left Tubi right when I was in the middle of an episode. So I found it on Freevee, but it left Freevee the next day and now I'm halfway through the season 1 finale. Now it isn't available anywhere that I can watch it. I hope it comes back to streaming soon. I have Netflix and Prime, so I'll be keeping an eye out for it. I want to show it to my brothers too.
@A1collect Yeah, that is an option. There is probably some VHS tapes of it too. Still would be nice to stream it while out and about, without lugging around a player.
Before the series begins Crockett is married to Caroline, with whom he had his son, William "Billy". Years of the Vice lifestyle (including a hit-man nearly killing all of them) caused their marriage to end in a painful divorce. Crockett began an on-again, off-again relationship with fellow Vice cop Gina Calabrese, usually when one or both needed comfort or someone to talk to. His other relationships were with a high-profile architect named Brenda, which caused him to sway from his duties, resulting in Tubbs being beaten up by a suspect. Then he moved on to Margaret, a New York woman who turned out to be working for someone trying to kill him, followed by Sara Davis, a flight stewardess who kept him company on her return flights to Miami (and died after one of the cocaine balloons in her GI tract came open); Dr. Theresa Lyons, who was a drug addict that he got help for in another state; Christine Von Marburg, who turned out to be a madam. He later met singer Caitlin Davies on assignment; after some friction they fell in love and married in a whirlwind romance, but she was killed over a year later by Frank Hackman. Upon hearing that Caitlin was pregnant, Crockett was driven to kill Hackman in cold blood. After Caitlin's death, Crockett had no further relationships aside from a brief affair with Kathleen Gilfords, but as his alter-ego, Sonny Burnett, he had flings with Miguel Manolo's art director Polly Wheeler, and Oscar Carrera's trophy wife Celeste. In his Crockett persona, he seems to prefer intelligent professional women, including those who are better educated than he is.
So many errors in this. He didn't damage his knee in Vietnam; he damaged his knee that ended his football career and THEN he went to Vietnam. He didn't have a drink problem that wrecked his marriage, he didn't have a drink problem AT ALL Lazy voice over work just reading the lines of Don Johnson's character spoke to Gina in the pilot episode
I think originally the show was gonna take place in Los Angeles but glad they took it to Miami attracting the youth to the city. Miami was dangerous back then too and it’s beautiful.
He wasn't an alcoholic but he had to do some heavy drinking when he was undercover. One of the very first scenes in the first episode, he's telling Eddie (Jimmy Smits) how he was up till 4 am drinking shots with the drug dealer they're waiting for
They should’ve reboot this show on HBO or Metflix and went full bore with it. The cars, the. Clothes, and two good actors with plenty of celeb cameos like entourage.
If they ever give a television series the 4K treatment, Miami Vice should be the first one to go 4K
Heck yeah!
better 35 mm pure cinema style
MTV cops aka “Miami vice” was a show I grew up on. What a show.

Or Michael Mann should have named his movie differently because without DJ and PMT there can't be Miami Vice
@@vinced5741 Exactly! They were both 57 in 2006. Maybe Michael Mann thought they still wouldn't be believable in the roles?

@@asifkhan4822 Amen!
Absolutely, this show was Pure Class!
I remember when it Premiered in 1984!
Still Awesome, I have the entire series on Blu Ray 👌!
Me too and I've had a crush on Don Johnson ever since
Thank you for sharing
Anything associated with Michael Mann is quality and classic.

I agree! I think they could have made a whole season about Sonny as Burnett and Tubbs trying to get him back
still one of the BEST TV series of all time!

Perfect Show!
masterpiece movie pilot for the greatest TV series of all-time.
One of the BEST SHOWs and BEST MUSIC .....EVER !!!
I say this after watching so many episodes greatest cop show ever was in my 20s watching this as an Aussie couldn't get enough of this great tv show.
Excellent character summary. Only thing I would have added would be a nod to Jan Hammer, whose musical contribution was so central to the series.
It's not Miami vice without Jan Hammer and Michael Mann
Very best show
Very best story
Very best two man
MOST ICONIC TV SERIES TO EVER COME OUT OF ANY TIME PERIOD AT ALL!!!!!!!!!!
I was 20 when the show first aired and it's still one of the best TV shows in history. I have it on Blu Ray and play it my near 4K Sony player. The show has never looked better.
Very nice. I'd like to see more "behind the scenes" posts like this one.
Miami Vice = MTV Cops, by over time proved to be more than that.
One college drama professor concluded at the time, that the episodes were basically music videos.
They did use background music very well.
Good explanation and defined a generation. Reveloutionary and ground breaking.

You can buy the complete series on DVD or Blu Ray.
@A1collect Yeah, that is an option. There is probably some VHS tapes of it too. Still would be nice to stream it while out and about, without lugging around a player.
I remember watching A-Team and Magnum PI, but this was my dad's show, so i had to make excuses to come in and out of the livingroom to catch bits.
I absolutely love this show! ❤❤❤❤
I LOVE MIAMI VICE. Could you charge her video funny moment in the series. Thank you. I LOVE THIS CHANNEL😍
Coolest, most hip t.v. show ever. The clothes, music, lighting and cast, masterpiece.
Best TV show ever.
Edward James Olmos….my favorite!!
Great analysis. Thanks
Love this series
Best show over. "Neon Noir" at it's finest !

1980's brilliance..and has aged well!

Amen ❤️ this show!!!!
Pure Genius!

is it available in Blu-ray? or even 4k?
Mill Creek released a Blu-ray set of the whole series a few years back, pretty cheap to buy today.
Thanks ♥️ 🤗
Que carácter tenía Sonny,no le quedaba otra eh!❤
How could you not say anything about Jan Hammer's music?
Rico Cooper so good mon
Calderone got away at the end of the pilot.
Nice.
Miami Vice is just 113 ways how not to do a drug deal..
I still wait a good 4k blu ray remastered version
Buena.....
Narrator, lives? LIVES?!? It’s lives. You are clearly an artificial intelligence generated responsive program. 0:04
Real Story:Crockett ruined his knee by falling drunk from a balkony by party a football victory.
It was a show about Something
Miami Vice is too good for an AI voice-over. If you need someone to read a script, just let me know. I will do it for free.
Seriously, the AI cheapens this so much. It's so bad. Stop using AI in the arts.
@@NESherv Agreed
Another entry in the Michael Mann dissertation exploring how police and criminals are two sides of the same coin.
This is the weirdest narration I’ve ever heard.
Im sorry but you said his drinking? Sonny didnt have a drinking problem..did he?
He wasn't an alcoholic but he had to do some heavy drinking when he was undercover. One of the very first scenes in the first episode, he's telling Eddie (Jimmy Smits) how he was up till 4 am drinking shots with the drug dealer they're waiting for

who tf recorded this? he LIVEs on a yacht? better do your entire voice recording in one go, pro!
Oh, his name is Crockett. This whole time I thought that the other dude was calling him cracka.
I forgot how bad tv was in the 1980s.
Cop show set in the '80s. Plain as the nose on your face
brokeback mountain meets hawaii 5-0!
What 😭😂 this is so random
