80's Television

The fast cars, the fast boats, the fast women, and two too cool cops with a sense of style and fashion never seen before... grab your best white linen suit jacket, push up the sleeves and enjoy the greatness of Crockett and Tubbs today with a flashback to "Miami Vice"...


the intro...




there were obviously some cool guest stars and some cool music that was featured throughout the series... of course this Phil Collins classic is probably the most remembered song from the series in this classic scene...

it was real, wasn't it?


The Power Station making an appearance (without Robert Palmer on vocals) and like any good band, playing right through the bar fight...



Sonny with a sweet ponytail and music in the background by Peter Gabriel...






and of course, Glen Frey made an occasional appearance and came through with this big hit... "Smuggler's Blues"...
