Did Crocketts wear oversized blazers?

I’m dressing as Crockett and I need to find a place to get a white linen blazer that’s matches the length of crocketts. I’m a 38 R but it doesn’t go that long down like his does. I just but a Crockett suit from menstuexdousa but I don’t want it to just look like a suit you know

Vice VS Nash Bridges

Here me out! Now I’ve been a HUGE Vice fan all my life, but I just stumbled onto Nash Bridges and is it just me or is Nash Bridges actually the BETTER show as far as storylines and character development goes? Like yes Vice will NEVER be matched on the levels of cinematography and the music and all that, BUT almost everyone had stunted storylines. Gina would ALWAYS fall for the men she’s supposed to catch, Trudy had a ONE AND DONE romantic storyline over the ENTIRE SHOW, aside from Crockett and Castillo, Switek is the only character, post Calderone to get an arc! Tubbs didn’t even get that.

But in Nash Bridges you actually saw their lives outside of their police work and the “weekly bad” They had people fall from grace and get redemption. It just seems where Vice was Visuals, Nash was the characters.

Miami Vice was ridiculous (spoilers)

Some of the ridiculousness in an episode of 'Miami Vice' I found on an old VHS tape.

The clips are from S01E21 'Nobody Lives Forever'. Originally aired in the USA on NBC, 29 March 1985. This recording is from Melbourne's Channel 9, 27 February 1986 and also includes a Pete Smith voice-over over the end credits.

The first couple seasons of Miami Vice are the best, and I think I know why

So I can't shake this vibe that the show begins on it's highest note and goes downhill the entire time. I know I cant be the only one that feels this way. The first two seasons are the best, then it just declines more and more. And I think I know why: comedy.

They had a ton of comedy laced into the show in the beginning. Crockett's constant frustration and messing with people on his boat, the hijinx with the Ferrari, etc. This show began as a knee slapper of a comedy hiding under the guise of a crime drama. Then, at some point, I can't say where yet, the comedy just goes away and all that is left is just serious plots and action. They lost that comedic magic that brought shows like Sopranos and movies like Goodfellas up to the stratosphere.

Sonny/Ricardo Love Interests

Can anyone think of a love interest of Sonny or Ricardo, or any other officer, that didn’t end up dead within 1-2 episodes?

The Charlie Glide episode

"Yankee Dollar" is the real title. It started out real dark with what happened to Sonny's stewardess friend and all.

Not to rehash but it all got to Charlie Glide. One of the better scenes was when Glide was with his assistant and they got to talking. It just came across as too obvious that Sonny "Burnett" popped up to Glide at a party and says he wants to move something and soon after (the next day) Tubbs as a Jamaican buyer in town met with the the assistant. (Sonny's cover as Burnett isn't all that great as Glide called him "2 bit" 🤣)

It was interesting that they figured it was all a police set up. (Too obvious?!?) It would have been nice to have had a few more episodes where the dealers get suspicious of two new guys suddenly appearing on the scene and put 2 and 2 together.

The episode was uneven as it went from a drug mule story to getting to a "Teflon Don" character. An Ok episode for a season 2 but to be honest all the season 2 episodes were tough acts to follow after the NY premiere.

I just found where Breaking Bad got it's name from in Miami Vice

If you don't know, Breaking Bad consists entirely of scenes and details that are abstract copies of things from other television shows and movies, mostly Sopranos. This scene in "Hard Knocks" is almost certainly where they nabbed the title of the show from. Really cool to find. I work this stuff a lot, and come across tons of examples every day, but finding the source of the title to one of the shows just hits different. I'm really excited about this one.

Rico Tubbs underused

I always considered him underused in comparison to his partner,. Despite being co-lead, Tubbs' character had fewer solo storylines and was often overshadowed by Crockett's more complex arcs.

Tubbs, with his cool, calm demeanor, had the potential for deeper character exploration, especially with his New York cop backstory and tragic losses leaving Tubbs to be more of a supporting figure I thought Castillo had more engaging stories than even tubs had

Revival or reboot?

If this show were to ever come back to our screens, would we prefer a revival that features a retired Crockett and Tubbs but ultimately follows two new cops or would we prefer an entire reboot with a fresh take on the original characters (maybe introduce new ones too)?

Can anyone tell me when the vice cops/Castillo began referring to the vice division as “OCB?”

Crockett and Tubbs post-ending?

So I’m always curious about the cast’s thoughts on whether Crockett and Tubbs got back together after the finale - how long it took, what they ended up doing, etc. Has Don commented on this at all, even vaguely, in any of the 40th content?

.38 Special EDC?

With everyone around him carrying serious pew-pews, why does Ricardo stick with that .38? Is it a NY thing?

I know he has that sawed-off shotgun on a sling when the shit goes down, but why not a Smith Semi that was strong at the time, or a Walther would have maybe been a cool fit.

At any rate, need more than 6 shots and a couple speed reloads to meet three 10-round magazines easily carried.

What do you gentlesnoos think? 🤔

Will it release in 4K?

Being that it has been 40 years do you think we'll get the show released in 4K?The 40th anniversary should be a good reason to release the show in 4K.
