Miami Vice - Kenji - 08-27-2005
Sonny Crockett and Ricardo Tubbs! Do you remember them?
A few days ago I bought Miami Vice DVD-first season, and this evening I watched pilot episode. Oh, man! Today I saw it after an interval of about 20 years(Gosh...). Blue sea, shining sun, 80's music, beautiful ladies, gunshot, car chase....I felt it's still GREAT!
Miami Vice is still best TV series in our generation. That's '80s! Not '70s or '90s. Nevertheless, some people are trying remake of it. Sonny Crockett = Colin Farrel, Ricardo Tubbs = Jamie Foxx.....PLEASE, SOMEBODY STOP THEM!!

I agree, Kenji. And don't forget Michael Mann created "Miami Vice."
I loved it then. It was such a breath of fresh air on TV. Loved the colors, loved the action, loved MIAMI! Great show, but I haven't seen it lately.

Miami Vice is probably my favorite TV show EVER! It pioneered the addition of music into primetime shows (or at least perfected it), although this has since been overused and abused. My favorite aspect of the show was that it often ended on a sour (downer) note.
My favorite episode:
"Evan" Episode: #1.21 - 3 May 1985
Al Israel .... Guzman
Christopher Murney .... Wilson
William Russ .... Evan Freed
Opening music was Rhythm of the Heat by Peter Gabriel.
Closing music was Biko by Peter Gabriel.
There were so many good episodes of this show.
Also check out Grand Theft Auto: Vice City the video game which practically lets you play in the Miami Vice world.

Believe it, or not. I've never seen a single episode! If you think that's funny, consider the fact that I have liked Don Johnson in every movie he has made!
No Bull Sh--! Maybe I should check this series out.

I never watched it either. I remember the song and the intro, but never actually watched an episode. Don Johnson always seemed too wimpy, to me, to play a tough guy cop.

For you WHO fans, episode 25 (2.3) featured Baba O'Reilly (and Dire Straits' Brothers in Arms) in another stellar episode.
Eminence Front was in episode 47 (3.3).

After Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man, I don't consider Don Johnson being wimpy. In fact, he played the part perfect!

With that high pitched whiney voice? Sounds like he needs to blow his nose.

Hmm... Nobody does talk about Philip Michael Thomas as Tubbs? I like his character.
