I started watching it through NBC.com in November or so and it's a really great show. I love the mood and feel of it. I really like the music. I'm only partway through the first season. Any of you guys fans? I bet this is probably not news to most of you. Hopefully I can catch the Blu-ray set on sale sometime so I can get it in better quality and without the ads, etc.

I'd say I'm a fan of Miami Vice. Watched through it for the first time a few years back and I remember liking the majority of it even if some episodes felt a little weak. Need to rewatch it sometime. It was on Netflix for a while but they must have taken it down since then. It is on Hulu but it looks like only season 1 through 4 are there for whatever reason, no season 5.

I liked it as a kid. I was disappointed when they went back to NY and the episode focused on Crockett. NY was Tubbs' home territory and it would have been nice to have the episode rotate around him. The show was initially a balance between the two and eventually PMT just became Tonto to Crocket's Lone Ranger.

the first 2.5 seasons are really great and then the decline starts and when it gets rolling it is BRUTAL. Still, I'd fist fight anyone who ever claims it didn't deserve the attention it got in the beginning.

It airs nightly on the diginet COZI-TV (it's usually on an NBC O&O as a subchannel) but your mileage might vary. You can check HERE for your television market and see where Cozi-TV might be residing in your neck of the woods. Some cable carriers carry it too. They air the show in order... no idea if they air the entire series but since NBC owns the rights and Cozi is owned by NBC there's nothing stopping them from doing so.

It's either you get the signal or you don't... there is no snowy medium like back in the analog days. I suggest you get those ears as high as you can preferably in a window with a line of sight to the towers yer trying to pick up. It's a hit and miss concept, you have to scan and rescan many time to find the sweet spot. Your tv also dictates what you may or may not get. Some tvs have better tuners than other. Also important to note if the channel is VHF (RF 2-13 and of that only RF channels 7-13 are practical... anything in the RF 2-6 range are near impossible because of signal noise from just about every electronic thing we use on this planet including cars) those channels need the old school two dipole antenna (commonly called bunnyears). UHF band (RF 14-69) are a lot more forgiving and easier to "catch". Robnoxious fucked around with this message at 06:46 on Jan 26, 2017 |

Miami Vice was incredible. It was also pulpy and stupid at times, depending on who hammed it up with guest star acting or the directors who tried (and failed) to be artsy. Some of the changes throughout the years helped the show (Olmos), other's didn't.

Miami Vice gave us a Murderers' Row of future acting talents - hell it even introduced the world to 'pre-Moonlighting' Bruce Willis & Dennis Farina https://youtu.be/wpCPDP_4N3I

Miami Vice is a great show and I love re-watching some of it every once in a while. It's a very dark show contrasted by the bright Miami colors. The show had great visuals, great music from Jan Hammer and popular artists at the time, it showed off contemporary fashions, it had the amazing architecture in Miami. It's just an amazing show. The look and feel of the show was something that had never been seen before. Every man wanted to be Sonny Crockett. They even sold electric razors pre-set so you can shave and get the Crockett stubble.The show was really a phenomenon. I think the real issue with the show is that it was sort of hamstrung by what TV could get away with back then. There's a blu-ray set out and I definitely recommend checking it out.

This show taught me that art deco furniture, no matter how flimsy, could stop the bullets of a mac 10 machine gun.

But why can't they have chapters man?? Each episode has 3 chapters: the beginning, the opening credits, and the closing credits. That's just great!! How hard would it be to at least put it on the act changes (commercial break)? I really hate it if I hit the wrong button and it goes all the way to the end. Oh well.

Dang, that's pretty basic functionality they're missing. I grabbed the first 2 seasons on DVD a few years ago. Was amazing seeing how many bands just show up in S1 out of nowhere. Love it.

He owns but god drat the ninja episode is one of the worst cringey things I have ever seen. Yeah I agree the first 2.5 seasons were solid. My one nitpick with it was how virtually every episode ended in a bloody shootout. Love the overall style, and some of the cheesy quirky stuff was kind of endearing. I stumbled across this thread while looking to see if anyone was still talking about Law & Order (SVU). I guess it's the direct enduring legacy of Miami Vice.

I had to recompress it to get below 500MB for Vimeo as that's the max you can upload per week on a free account (& 720p). I can try uploading it again later. YouTube & DailyMotion both take it down instantly.

The first 2 seasons at least, it's a darker show than it is given credit for. There's plenty of times where Crockett/Tubbs lose. It became a sort of joke because of the latter seasons, and it is a shame what happened, but it shouldn't detract from what happens early on. While you're at it. People should check out CRIME STORY. Michael Mann has said it's the show he's proudest of, and it is fantastic and massively underseen.

Up to the fourth season now, still like it a lot, BUT, it went from a poignant episode about AIDS & homosexuality (very controversial in 1987)... to UFOs with James brown. I don't know if I can even bother finishing this episode.
