He was / is handsome. But perhaps borderline, like most actors. And somwhat bankrupt at one time. And you don't want to be a broken police guy living on a boat. Make your life better! And get a young pretty woman!
There will never be another show like Miami Vice. The way it was shot, the music, the fashions, the shock endings to episodes. If you were a fan when this show originally aired... it's a part of your soul.
@@abguy4 cheers mate! I interviewed Terry (Day Of The Dead) Alexander over on my iScreemZ Channel recently. And there was an unexpected Miami Vice connection!
I love the 80s and sometimes choose to live there when I get away from here, but in the decades since, progress has been made in some ways. We as a society wouldn't have allowed the changes of time if we didn't want some things to change. For one, I'm glad to see all the coke and heroin reduced, but sad to see it often replaced with meth. Storytelling imo has taken a dive though. 80s did more with so much less for storytelling. The writers these days miss their marks often, imo.
I grew up during the 80's a child but still felt. What everyone says about the nostalgia back then. From my point of view TV, lifestyles, and consumer products were original. Meaning they had simplicity but technology advanced in the era. Compared to now our world is excessively saturated.
@@vaughnboston148 same. Commercials were just that and the show was the focus. Now it's so ass backwards. I really miss the 80s and 90s long before this fucking social media garbage came along.
@@LutherMahoney By the way haven't you noticed most people suffer linguistic withdrawal. Excessive technology usage via text messages, emails, and redundancy words. The human race can barely carry an articulate conversation. I go on interviews and it seems. They're use to email interactions even virtual crap. I agree we've lost touched what was original less complicated. Genuine people who've lived through the 80s & 90s are irreplaceable who gave a damn about things. Not manipulative technology intrusions. Extra stress anxiety if you won't detox monthly against the Matrix.

That makes two of us. I loved the 80's. Even my son who is 17 says he wishes he could go back to the 80's, after my stories, he loves the music from then. Oh how I miss that simple, innocent and fun time. Well at least we have our memories.
So he's a 007 in the city. Why didn't he ever go for the ones brining in the drugs? Military, CIA, FBI, PD. Shows like this focused on the civilians selling and using but never the government agency procurators.
Absolutely and I think it was also the first time EVER that a tv series was as good as a movie regarding its "mise en scène", its editing, the use of songs within its storytelling, or his often dark and abrupt endings... Thank you Anthony Yerkovich, Michael Mann, Abel Ferrara and all the other amazing people who made this possible !! :)
If this isn't the epitome of the 80's nothing is, totally awesome. The music, the fashion, there will never be another era like this. God, I miss the 80's.
I miss the 80's girls. They looked so much better and hotter then today. Remembering my youth in the 80's here in germany makes me wanna cry. Miss that time.
They used to look better, they slanted inwards towards your cheeks, now they just seem to go straight down. I had a pair from the 80s, left them on the roof of my car in Twickenham rugby stadium carpark and drove off, never saw them again.
When you see this video it is hard to believe it is almost 40 years ago since this was a hit on TV. In my mind nobody aged, nothing changed, but in reality we have all grown older by 40 years. Great show, will never forget it.
So true, Dave. I recently bought the Blu-Ray set and it really is hard to believe that this premiered in 1984. Damn, I was a senior in HS and I remember being blown away by the pilot and that it was directed by an actor I loved in Thomas Carter from the White Shadow. Now, here I am having just celebrated my 55th birthday. Like you said, in my mind Don and Phillip ARE NOT 72 and Michael Talbott and Edward J. Olmos don’t have white hair!!!!!!
It was the pinnacle of cool and the best fashion and music ever. The clothes still look ultra stylish and timeless. How will we look back on super skinny jeans for men beardo hipsters a mere ten years from now?
Well here we are in 2023 and still listening to this great era of music from the 80's and an exceptional show which was the first show to be broadcasted by NBC in stereo in 1984 Friday nights. Best of times. Boy how I really miss those MTV and VH-1 days. It will never be as good as it was in those days compared to today. Not even close.
I lived on miami bch then near where they filmed LOVE THIS SONG!!! This was one of my fav episodes. Arielle is hot! Too bashes had alot of work done since this. Shes made some good music tho.
Kept me alive as real under cover agent 1984 to present with the national security agency,, putting my badge on top of bodies let's me remember real verification
Miami native... Had a chance to visit the set of Miami Vice when they filmed a short segment of an episode on South Beach back in '86. Those were the days. I remember before Miami Vice ever aired one eposode, how desolate and depressing all of Miami Beach was especially down in SoBe. Just old retired WWII vets for miles and miles and decrepit hotels from the 20s, 30s, and 40s, barely hanging on for dear life. Even the beloved Fountainbleu was in disrepair but Miami Vice changed all that and after the last season aired, Miami Beach and South Beach in particular was never the same again. After Versace was murdered, things changed again but this time it all started to go downhill and nowadays, I wouldn't be caught dead down in SoBe. Truly nothing but low lifes and thugs. Finally left the 305 back in 2005 and with the occassional visit every 5 years or so, I don't think I'll be returning anytime soon. I prefer to leave that beloved slice of my past safe in my memories, where pastel colors shine bright like the sun and beauty is all around in "MY" Miami, RIP 1977-1997.
So where did you end up going to. I must watch this series. Very interesting read there. Amazing how places change as time goes by. From bad to good and back to bad😢
Miami Vice still remains one of the best television shows of all time! One of the few series that emotionally pulled me in. I wish they could bring the series back.
I think reboots/reimaging or whatever they call it when trying to make a new version of an old show rarely ever work. Let's just remember and enjoy the originals for what they were. True gems.
@@MrGovtCheese I had just watched an episode where Crockett asks Tubbs (a black man) if he came to Miami to work on his tan. Also in the same episode they ask if Crockett "rolled a fruit" (beat up a gay guy) to get his shirt. Cancel culture SJWs would be all over this nowadays.
@@joeshmoe9978 That would only make sense if they kept it in the 1980s. It's called progress. Just like in the 80s they weren't still calling women broads and dames. Miami Vice was actually based on the 1970s show Starsky and Hutch but geared towards an MTV audience. By making it more stylized, fast-paced, and including soundtracks of popular 1980s music. According to one of the directors, "The show is written for an MTV audience which is more interested in images, emotions and energy than plot and character." This video emphasizes that point.
It certainly was rare to see Mann direct the tv show and then the movie, MIAMI VICE. The movie sucked. It just goes to show you that you can't go back home.
Don't forget all the killings. You know MIAMI VICE was going to rack up a high body count every week. Not to worry. There's still plenty of cop shows today that does that. 24. BLUE BLOODS. CHICAGO PD. CSI. CSI MIAMI. CSI NEW YORK. FBI. HANNIBAL. JAG. NCIS. NCIS HAWAII. NCIS LA NCIS NEW ORLEANS. THE ROOKIE. SEAL TEAM. SWAT.
Today's Television We Wouldn't See Shows Like This Anymore. If They Tried To Remake Miami Vice Now. It Wouldn't Be The Same As The 80s. What Happened In The 80s Stays In The 80's.
How fantastic the 80's were - time flies and we have the poor excuse for a world now compared to how it was over 40 years ago.Great song and it fits the scenes in the video perfectly.
My wife and I bought the entire series of Miami Vice and are slowly getting through 1 episode at a time, every Friday. Just to relive a small piece of the greatest decade ever. The 80's so much a better time gone by. Remember this episode too, was a favorite
Me too. I don’t remember many, but this one sticks. If you haven’t seen the episode with Dire Straights Briotjer in Arms playing yet, I can tell you that you won’t be able to get it out of your head. To call it dark is an understatement.
It's really amazing how many people keep coming back to listen to the Miami Sound tracks over 4 decades later it will never get old its definitely legendary.
I forgot how acceptable smoking was back then. Now, it's rightly viewed as pretty gross. Oh well, Miami Vice was definitely groundbreaking. Bonus points for walking in deep sand in high heels.
My dad yelled at me for smoking when I was a teenager by saying, "Is it because your buddy Don Johnson smokes on Miami Vice?" No, it was because I worked in a restaurant.
Miami Vice helped shape the city of Miami in terms of fashion and culture - the fashion in pastels, a synthwave soundtrack, hit songs and exotic cars. As far as I know, no show has really put it together as good as Vice since. I think I'll go find me some white khaki pants, a pastel shirt, a blazer, sunglasses and a Ferrari.
As a white man under fire these days from the major media & so on, I am doing just that as my budget allows! On YT,. I have been called a boomer & some of my comments have been called cringe. So, I know I am on the right track!
Much less people were fat and overworked. Less women were engaged in hookup culture. Thank to capitalism, feminism, and greed the world has changed a lot.
The men dressed a lot better back then, too. No baggy shorts and faded, stretched out t-shirts, and fewer baseball caps. At least they weren't worn everywhere!
The Best and Most Exciting Time of my Life was the 80’s. I graduated High School in 1984, Drove a Fast Classic Car, Hit all the Best Night Clubs on Long Island and New York City every Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday Nights and watched Every Episode of Miami Vice every Friday Night before going out! It pumped me up before hitting the clubs like no other show could. I have every episode on Blu-Ray and Digitally on VUDU and still watch them all the time! God how I miss those days! 🏝⛵🍸🌞

I'm so glad I grew up in Miami in the 70s 80s It was a great time, I met Don at the Miami yacht and Brokerage show. And I'm proud to say I went to the BeeGees home on star Island for a party. If reincarnation is true I would love to live this life over again!
@@MrSnoopadoop”Definitely Miami”, also stared Ted Nugent as her boyfriend, and they move city to city conning young handsome men; in Miami, Crockett!! Ted steps out onto the hotel balcony and says, “Definitely Miami”!!
I know this will sound strange but...as a society. things have deteriorated because society has gradually moved away from the ways of God......which are the ways of wisdom....The people who are mostly God oriented, though they don't often make a big show of it, allowed the left....(who are;... so sorry.....for the most part completely Godless) to infiltrate Government, schools, media, corporations, Hollywood, and have lost a large part of todays young people through their indoctrination and moral degeneracy. America used to raise young men and women to be eventually mothers and fathers and patriots. Now the left has turned them (not all but soooo many)into sex obsessed porn watchers. and that is just part of the picture.
I'm a musician and music is my game from rap, edm, trap, alternative, easy listening, country, opera, classic, etc. I must say if I had to pick a decade of great music it will be the 80s. The sound, the melody, the coolness, the vibe, the lyrics, etc. the 80s always bring yearning, reminisce and nostalgia. Miami Vice was a trend changer during the 80s.
Replay, play it Mr T Lee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I as a Fan of all you play and all your F$%king generous beats on Drums and more, R'n'R it dude!!! Rock the fuck on!!!!!Mr TLee!!!!!!!!!MC fan 4 Life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I remember watching this show through my young teens and it usually left me with my jaw dropped, I would think over and over of the episodes. I was hooked on the sound tracks, the emotion they stirred. This followed me for years later. Memories of this show left me with some kind of stoic melancholy. This show shaped my life, seriously.
@@freda9717 At least you're not one of those nitwits who says, 'I wish I could go back to a time when life was simpler.' That's when you know you're old as f----! It's always the guys who say that.
@@leoperidot482 Hahha, no kidding. I think it was just a very cool show that hit me at a very influential part of life. I think everyone has similar experiences with certain things in life, related to a movie/show/experiences or whatever. 😁
I'll go one better my friend. I'd put my reality on repeat. Groundhog's Day from Jan 1, 1980 to Dec 31, 1989. That's a helluva lot of sweet repetition!
The things that made this show so great ... 1...The location / scenery... 2....The fashion... 3...The music... It was incorporated in perfectly.... 4....The twist endings....Not you average everyday cop show where the good guys always win.... 5..... The guest star appearances .... 6...Always kept you on your toes
I always looked forward to Friday nights to watch Miami Vice. It was and still is one of my top TV shows of all time. Great show. Well casted and written and the music was awesome.
In the winter, we'd hang and play D and D or Monopoly or whatever on Friday night, catch Miami Vice while eating homemade stromboli, wake up early and run to the bus for ski club. I'd sit with my girl for 2 hours on the bus there and 2 or 3 hours back if we got snow. Then we'd all head to my house and watch Saturday Night Live when they made fun of everything, and then watch Star Trek re-runs and talk about how we were all going to kick the world's ass, and we all believed it.
My absolute favorite episode. Probably of any tv series. The song is gut wrenching and Sonny was never better. We’ve all been there I believe at some point. Ariell is a stunner,perfect casting. The best all around!

In Germany there are to many middle east (and similar) people now.
And much less pretty German / western women. (Feminism/capitalism/socialism birth rates destroyed families.)

I was just 😎
Im 26 and want to be cool as sonny
He was very handsome
He was / is handsome.
But perhaps borderline, like most actors. And somwhat bankrupt at one time.
And you don't want to be a broken police guy living on a boat.
Make your life better! And get a young pretty woman!
Get in line, bud!
Sonny Crockett was the coolest guy in the 80s by a country mile,,every guy wanted to be like him
He had that thing-swagger I guess you call it.,
Even Julio Iglesias
The coolest show ever on TV period.
No argument from me.
Every hormonal teenager agrees. Even some adults, like my daughter's 6th grade teacher. Because one of Don's daughters was in the same class.

Acting, writing, beautiful women, great music
Ferraris and speedboats. I loved it
Don't forget all the killings. You know MIAMI VICE was going to rack up a high body count every week. Not to worry. There's still plenty of cop shows today that does that.

Same. Best cop show ever. Now I want to see reruns😂 the only problem I have with old shows is the 4:3 format
Today's Television We Wouldn't See Shows Like This Anymore. If They Tried To Remake Miami Vice Now. It Wouldn't Be The Same As The 80s. What Happened In The 80s Stays In The 80's.
How fantastic the 80's were - time flies and we have the poor excuse for a world now compared to how it was over 40 years ago.Great song and it fits the scenes in the video perfectly.
I SO miss those days!
@@Ragnarou812 Yes me too - they were the BEST.
No pun intended by Don Johnson's acting on Miami Vice is criminally underrated...
Nope. DJ became a huge superstar because of Miami Vice. No underrating here. 😎
The good old days!
My wife and I bought the entire series of Miami Vice and are slowly getting through 1 episode at a time, every Friday. Just to relive a small piece of the greatest decade ever. The 80's so much a better time gone by. Remember this episode too, was a favorite
60s 70s way better
Me too. I don’t remember many, but this one sticks. If you haven’t seen the episode with Dire Straights Briotjer in Arms playing yet, I can tell you that you won’t be able to get it out of your head. To call it dark is an understatement.
❤❤❤
Have to agree . Women had something different about them in the 80's . A lot more classy back then .
we knew how to dress and strut... clasdy and sassy..❤
They weren't all tatted up then and they had manners.
lets face it... this show was a moving art form...
It's really amazing how many people keep coming back to listen to the Miami Sound tracks over 4 decades later it will never get old its definitely legendary.
For me the best TV show ever! Music, glamour, cars, boats, fashion, guest stars...pure gold!
I forgot how acceptable smoking was back then. Now, it's rightly viewed as pretty gross. Oh well, Miami Vice was definitely groundbreaking. Bonus points for walking in deep sand in high heels.
My dad yelled at me for smoking when I was a teenager by saying, "Is it because your buddy Don Johnson smokes on Miami Vice?" No, it was because I worked in a restaurant.
the 80,s such a good time for me , living in the tampa area, the beaches , the hot women who respected their selfs , dam i need a time machine
I just want to rewind one day. Real show
Miami Vice was the best show ever
This show captured the feel of that era like no other.
thanks for your love and support. .
Great show, nice boat, the Wellcraft Scarab 38KV.
Well said well said
Yes, it did, it really really did..!!
Yeah,it was just like this in Skegness at the time-the feel of the era indeed
Don Johnson was so gorgeous
This is like a Time Capsule. Glad I was alive in that Era. Not a cell phone in sight people talking to each other.
The 80s ! Best era ever
Miami Vice helped shape the city of Miami in terms of fashion and culture - the fashion in pastels, a synthwave soundtrack, hit songs and exotic cars. As far as I know, no show has really put it together as good as Vice since. I think I'll go find me some white khaki pants, a pastel shirt, a blazer, sunglasses and a Ferrari.
Ya gotta do it man.
If U got the $$$ U can still do itin Miami , a little better clothes n Ferraris , But Cool like Don iz hard 2 Buy ?
Absolutely put South Beach on the map
As a white man under fire these days from the major media & so on, I am doing just that as my budget allows! On YT,. I have been called a boomer & some of my comments have been called cringe. So, I know I am on the right track!
You forgot to mention the beautiful slim women 💯
Women just looked classier and took better care of themselves. Dressed a lot better than they do today,too
Much less people were fat and overworked.
Less women were engaged in hookup culture.
Thank to capitalism, feminism, and greed the world has changed a lot.
Word up
The men dressed a lot better back then, too. No baggy shorts and faded, stretched out t-shirts, and fewer baseball caps. At least they weren't worn everywhere!
Agree 😊
that's like saying men looked like Don Johnson and dressed like Crockett. Just not true. These are actors, man.
Such a brilliant ending scene and song to go along with it. One of the best ever Miami Vice episodes.
Don didn't say a word. The song said it all.
My favorite show and he sure was a fine looking man
Awesome track by Godley and Creme ♥️👍
A
Shows have tried, but have never come close to Miami Vice. You can't beat an original!
When Crockett put his sunglasses on, that was his way of saying "you're dead to me!"
Little like James Bond 😊
Facts 🕶️
Love this song and still going strong in 2024❤👍
The Best and Most Exciting Time of my Life was the 80’s.
I graduated High School in 1984, Drove a Fast Classic Car, Hit all the Best Night Clubs on Long Island and New York City every Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday Nights and watched Every Episode of Miami Vice every Friday Night before going out!
It pumped me up before hitting the clubs like no other show could. I have every episode on Blu-Ray and Digitally on VUDU and still watch them all the time! God how I miss those days! 🏝⛵🍸🌞
One of the best TV shows EVER!!!
Free
Miami Vice was... IS the apex of coolness! You can't improve perfection!
And nobody was cooler than Sunny Crocket…
The last true great decade
Born in 1974 ,..grew up on this type of t.v. 😅😂 different 😊❤🎉
Cops live and Miami Vice every Friday night 🌙 🙌 🎉❤
I could watch Don Johnson walk down the beach on an endless loop.
Makes me wanna CRY😢...the 80's defined my life.... I'm 58 and today I'm just existing... NUTHIN' is worth a lick NO MO'🤬
54 here and yep, I couldn’t agree more! 😤
@@kristimcgowandarkoscellard3126 l was advised by ONE of my psychiatrists at the VA hospital to STOP living in the past and I told him that the past is WHATs keeping me alive...the 90s was the beginning of downfall BUT I tolerated it FINE until that JERK Ohomo took office in '08. I LOST EVERYTHING!!!
@@NorbertoFontanez same here I live in the past cos I can't stand the present & dread the future, I loved the past & want to go back but can't so have to make do with memories, videos & music etc..
@@rickyhank118 ...hey guys ain't NUTHIN' wrong with living two lives nowadays... EVERYBODYs doin' it ...the life they're living and the life THEY WISH they could LIVE. NOBODY'S ever Happy
I'm so glad I grew up in Miami in the 70s 80s It was a great time, I met Don at the Miami yacht and Brokerage show. And I'm proud to say I went to the BeeGees home on star Island for a party. If reincarnation is true I would love to live this life over again!
Noooooo... 😜
Me too.
Definitely Miami - one of the best episodes ever!!!
Maybe the best one ever
What episode was it?
@@MrSnoopadoop”Definitely Miami”, also stared Ted Nugent as her boyfriend, and they move city to city conning young handsome men; in Miami, Crockett!! Ted steps out onto the hotel balcony and says, “Definitely Miami”!!
And Arielle Dombasle, she was hot stuff.
The best episode of all Mona
40 years! and still cool AF!
80's were the bomb. I used to dress like Sonny in 6th grade. The girls loved it!
6th Grade girls? Please. 🙄
@@sevans840 Not sure what your point is. I was the same age so it's not like I was being creepy.
@@murch7299 My point is what do children know about fashion or "Miami Vice" or being Don Johnson cool? That' s what I'm lol about.
Cinema
I still dress like that
The 80’s. God please bring them back. Oh how I miss them.
I know this will sound strange but...as a society. things have deteriorated because society has gradually moved away from the ways of God......which are the ways of wisdom....The people who are mostly God oriented, though they don't often make a big show of it, allowed the left....(who are;... so sorry.....for the most part completely Godless) to infiltrate Government, schools, media, corporations, Hollywood, and have lost a large part of todays young people through their indoctrination and moral degeneracy. America used to raise young men and women to be eventually mothers and fathers and patriots. Now the left has turned them (not all but soooo many)into sex obsessed porn watchers. and that is just part of the picture.
Please get a life!
Every time I hear this song, it stays with me for days. A good sign of a classic song which stands the test of time!
I listen to it over & over too
Yes, it does, it really really does..!!
I was lucky to grow up in the 80s. What I wouldn’t give to go back.
Take me back home to the 80’s. Please 🤘
BEST SHOW ON TV!! CROCKETT AND TUBBS...Y'ALL ARE SORELY MISSED!! MIAMI VICE FIREVER!!
Ridiculously perfect cinematography on this show. 💙💚
Creator and director Michael Mann became a renown movie director. That show put Miami on the map.
Miami Vice was a revolution for Tv series . Will never forget the relaxed evenings with a cool drink watching Miami Vice.... good times !
I'm a musician and music is my game from rap, edm, trap, alternative, easy listening, country, opera, classic, etc. I must say if I had to pick a decade of great music it will be the 80s. The sound, the melody, the coolness, the vibe, the lyrics, etc. the 80s always bring yearning, reminisce and nostalgia. Miami Vice was a trend changer during the 80s.
You're so right dude
Replay, play it Mr T Lee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I as a Fan of all you play and all your F$%king generous beats on Drums and more, R'n'R it dude!!! Rock the fuck on!!!!!Mr TLee!!!!!!!!!MC fan 4 Life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So agree, grew up in the 60's & 70's loving it and just when you thought life couldn't get better, in comes the 80's.
Nope. The 90s had better music.
@@leoperidot482
Depends on what decade you grew up in and like more, but it’s 80’s for me.
Gives me butterflies as it brings back the memories of the 80s.
Growing up in the 80s was a true pleasure, very thankful
Born and raised on Biscayne Bay and watched some of the filming of Crockett and Tubbs going across the Bay !!!
Only feels like yesterday watching this program. Miami Vice was an awesome show, it owned the 80’s!
When Miami vice came on tv in 1984 i was 12 , i was a kid. The 80's where great. What a great song and video. Greetings from Belgium.
first American city I ever visited, now I'm an American citizen living in Tampa. Loved the 80s
I remember watching this show through my young teens and it usually left me with my jaw dropped, I would think over and over of the episodes. I was hooked on the sound tracks, the emotion they stirred. This followed me for years later. Memories of this show left me with some kind of stoic melancholy. This show shaped my life, seriously.
It sounds like you didn't date much.
@@leoperidot482 Hahhahaa, ya no kidding hey
@@freda9717 At least you're not one of those nitwits who says, 'I wish I could go back to a time when life was simpler.' That's when you know you're old as f----! It's always the guys who say that.
@@leoperidot482 Hahha, no kidding. I think it was just a very cool show that hit me at a very influential part of life. I think everyone has similar experiences with certain things in life, related to a movie/show/experiences or whatever. 😁
@@leoperidot482 I often say that as well. And yes, I'm old 56. Lol
What a sound! How proud to have lived in the 80's.
40 years later, I'm still groovin' to this.
Don Johnson Was Fire!! 😍
thanks for your love and support.
@@donjohnson5183 Don you are a myth !! If you come to Milan write me. A drink together would be nice. Timeless.
This was classic. Sonny knew she was playing him but you could tell he still cared for her in a way.
Near
I used to wear the same style of clothing like we all did back then. Damn during the summer the most comfortable stuff ever!
I love that song. Its really beautiful.
I love it too
Me too
@@danilobonaccorsi1981 I love it while im riding my bike.
@@MadamOst I listen it when i desire to love with all myself
@@delight1057 thanks for your love and support.
If I knew I was gonna miss the 80s this much I've would've enjoyed it twice as much.
I would have just stayed there.
I don’t think I could have humanly enjoyed it more than I did ❤ best decade of my life.
Yes...
I'll go one better my friend. I'd put my reality on repeat. Groundhog's Day from Jan 1, 1980 to Dec 31, 1989. That's a helluva lot of sweet repetition!
I absolutely loved Miami Vice,I watched it every week faithfuly!!!!!
thanks for your love and support.
We wouldn't even leave the house on Friday nights until it was over back then!!!
@@jeffiecapello EVERYONE did before hitting the club's
One of the best scenes from the most iconic show I've ever been lucky enough to see. The last few mins of "Definitely Miami" is utter class.
Yes, its one of my very favourite episodes...!!
Sonny didn't say a single word.
The show had everything
The things that made this show so great ...
1...The location / scenery...
2....The fashion...
3...The music... It was incorporated in perfectly....
4....The twist endings....Not you average everyday cop show where the good guys always win....
5..... The guest star appearances ....
6...Always kept you on your toes
Crockette and Tubbs are my BEST FRIENDS since September 16 1984 .Still are today
I always looked forward to Friday nights to watch Miami Vice. It was and still is one of my top TV shows of all time. Great show. Well casted and written and the music was awesome.
Watched it on Friday nights then went out to the clubs, great way to start the weekend.
@@MrJameshaan And there were ALWAYS kick ass tunes on the FM on the way out back then!!
In the winter, we'd hang and play D and D or Monopoly or whatever on Friday night, catch Miami Vice while eating homemade stromboli, wake up early and run to the bus for ski club. I'd sit with my girl for 2 hours on the bus there and 2 or 3 hours back if we got snow. Then we'd all head to my house and watch Saturday Night Live when they made fun of everything, and then watch Star Trek re-runs and talk about how we were all going to kick the world's ass, and we all believed it.
Thursday it was Magnum PI and on Friday Miami Vice. Life was good.
Same here...!!
My absolute favorite episode. Probably of any tv series. The song is gut wrenching and Sonny was never better. We’ve all been there I believe at some point. Ariell is a stunner,perfect casting. The best all around!
Do you happen to have the name of that episode sir?
Definitely Miami w/ Ted Nugent.
In the 80s. This was a TV show every week but it should have been in theaters every week it was a movie. The best damn movie every week. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I was around 23 when Miami Vice was sent i loved the show..the music the clothes just all about it..the 80s were my best times..
