Old enough to have seen this broadcast live into our rural New Zealand lounge int he 80s and distinctly remember being blown away by the creative art of it all. #MiamiVice youtu.be/-aMCzRj3Syg?...

No one went out on Friday nights until after Miami Vice aired.

Yup, the streets were almost empty every Friday night from 10 to 11.

Great show. Made back in the day before GE owned NBC & promoted drumpf as a rich man when all he was & is is a monster.

We freaking tried and tried to get a GE boycott, but there just wasn't much competition for light bulbs.

Favorite episode in the series. Couldn’t possibly have sturdier co-stars than Bruce McGill and David Strathairn.

Me too. Somehow, it was the first time I ever heard that song. I had it on VHS and watched it over and over and over.

Yup, my 14y/o self was up every Friday night at 10 watching this faithfully and getting my mind blown off the stylistic visuals and music. Mom called it that "MTv Cop Show" "In The Air" was pretty much the MV anthem but this cut is my favorite music montage from the show. youtu.be/Ctt92_PorUY?...

I have never seen a single episode of Miami Vice, despite having grown up in that era.

I watched pilot aged 11 on my parents’ old, 7-inch screen, black-and-white antenna tv* in their bedroom. I had to fight every moment of clear-ish image. *Also radio, which it was better suited for.

I was a young teen and stayed up late to watch this. As a 13-year-old, it was the coolest scene out of the coolest show ever.

Wasn't he supposed to come out of that glass box in a blue suit with a red 'S' on the chest and a cape?

I've seen this clip so many times where it cuts off before the drum fill that I have Miami Vice PTSD, so I refuse to watch this for my own protection.

One of the first US shows broadcast in Poland after the fall of communism, with Dynasty and (somewhat bizarrely) Twin Peaks-literally everyone watched them (ok my parents were not allowing 8-9 year old me to watch Lynch).

Miami Vice, one of the best television series ever, Produced and directed by Michael Mann - please go see/find the 1986 movie Manhunter with William Peterson starring it’s a fabulous film youtube.com/shorts/zrxDp...

Oh yes, Manhunter was so much better than the Red Dragon. And the scene with Innagada Davita was just as memorable! I had a crush on William Peterson BAD.

In Vietnam a friend told the SMaj that his call sign was going to be Innagaddadavida. The Smaj said o hell no, so he went with Iron Butterfly.

That show spawned the coolest clothes, cars and music. Actually nothing like it has ever happened since. It definitely was a one-off.

I was just shy of 10 years old when I used to watch it with my parents/siblings every week. Parents didn’t believe in ratings in the ‘80’s.

Music licensing unfortunately, at least mostly, priced out this sort of artistic genius. Amazing scene. Thanks for the throwback! 🤘

Michael Mann went on to make great movies incl. "Heat," "The Last of the Mohicans," "Ali," and "Collateral."
