They played the original pilot episode on NBC tonight. What a great show that was. So unlike anything that was on TV at the time - revolutionary even. Straight down to the music in the background! Watching tubbs load the shotgun in the daytona while they were racing to stop calderon' from fleeing to cuba, with "in the air tonight" playing the whole way. And then sonny stops basically to make a last call to his ex wife. Goosebumps. I actually found it on youtube! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Tnyp9tRXRo I was only 3 when this originally aired, but am a fan of this show (from reruns) and can't wait for the movie to come out next weekend.

miami vice was the SH*T!! i love watching the old re-runs and spotting people who are big stars now but were just beginning their acting careers then. unbelieveable how many friggin people made a miami vice appearance! i always crack up whenever Tubbs talks/yells  "hey MAN! what TIME is the meeting AT?!!"

That was the pre testarossa car. The black daytone got taken out by a missile IIRC!
I find it funny how tubbs always sounds like he's calling crockett "cracka."
I have to check out tvland and sleuth, because i had no idea it was on those channels.
Oh, also, before i'm told i'm wrong...in the clip they are racing to pick up calderon', after a dirty cop (crockett's ex partner, who was keeping the dealers ahead of the police) came clean and told them where the next big cocaine deal would be going down.
The guy they were going after had something to do with the death of crockett's partner, but also killed tubbs' brother...which is why the sawed off shotgun was his weapon of choice i guess.
One more thing - i have to get myself some clothes like that. I am a giant 80's nerd, but those suits they wear are pimp.

What really amazes me is how much of it is still Michael Mann's style now. All of the car camera work, interior and exterior, is easily visible in Heat and Collateral, and I'm willing to bet in MV the movie. I'm old enough to remember the show, but wasn't old enough then to really get into it. Time to revisit it. Season 1 is on Netflix already.

yeah, even though for miami vice he was the producer, not the director.
i'm pretty sure the black daytona was also a corvette fake - but they did fix that eventually!
