Miami Vice is an American crime drama TV series that ran from 1984 to 1989 on NBC for five seasons. 

The series starred Philip Michael Thomas and Don Johnson in the middle of the 80s, with very bad taste pastel suits (with rolled up sleeves of course!) and espadrilles. Crockett and Tubbs were the best drug busting coppers on the Miami force. 

This show is noted for it's integration of contemporary pop and rock music and stylish or stylized visual, much unlike standard police procedurals, it heavily drew upon 1980s New Wave culture. 

In fact, People magazine stated that Miami Vice was "the first show to look really new and different since colour TV was invented."

    You dope, so many people said that at the time, but can you not understand, THAT's NOT THEIR STUFF! They're undercover as big-time drug dealers! Would that cover wash if they rolled up in a robin reliant?! Think they're showing it on Sunday on Bravo, great comedy hangover tv!

    Let's get one thing straight. A detective with a Ferrari Testarossa and another detective with a flash-looking speedboat and neither one of them is under investigation by internal affairs. Already the premise is shaky. Give them a platinum American Express cocaine cutter to sort out a wardrobe ram-chocka full of Armanis and there you have it. A perfectly plausable TV show. Not --- Ren ---

Do you remember these?
