Watching it!

Darn I don't think I get that channel with Direct TV. I checked the guide and couldn't find. Might be an HD channel and I don't have the HD receiver downstairs.

cool, just turned this loose back to the customer on Saturday, gotta get me one I think :cool:

From 1980 to 1990 I was 12 to 22 years old. I'm kind of fond of the 80's.

I don't think it a HD channel but I also don't think Direct TV has it. Its a cool (low budget looking) channel that plays a lot of old shows.

Canuck B Crazy 09-27-2015 11:44 PM

I was 12 when the show started. I'm definitely an 80's kid..... I still remember the first time watching the show. Was hooked from the first episode I watched. It was a no brainer, was already drawing boats and was into Ferrari's due to Magnum PI, it was a easy jump into Vice.

Love it and lived it as I was 16-21 as that show grew the Miami legends.

f_inscreenname 09-28-2015 10:14 AM

I think the show is normally on COZI-TV 11pm weeknights for those with empty DVR's.

One must focus and learn to revel in the pastel colored cheese.

I was also an 80s kid and I absolutely loved Miami Vice. To this day, I still pop in a DVD from the box set. Never gets old, even tho it was bad acting and kinda cheesy. I was a lover of boats from the day I was born and this show made me fall in love with go fast boats immediately.

flatlanderbill 09-28-2015 03:01 PM

Offshore boats , exotic cars and Sandra Santiago! Born in the 60's and was crazy in the eighties. Love that show , watched every morning on el ray network 2 weeks ago while on vacation on block island with a stiff bloody mary.

Padraig 09-28-2015 04:15 PM

Canuck B Crazy 09-28-2015 04:21 PM

Its still fun to watch. I watch Magnum PI everyday at 5pm on Encore. Almost finished the eighth and final season. Would be cool to do the same with Vice............................. When I was a teenager, did give up on Vice. Don't think I watched the last two years.

Brandonb_05 09-28-2015 07:47 PM

I can't find it on dish. Does anyone if it's on dish?

Many years ago, I used to hang out at a now-defunct Miami Vice forum. Not long after I started posting there, a member of the camera crew for Vice joined up and was given his own section on the forums to answer questions about working on the show.

I remember asking many questions about the boats. He said that Don Johnson was coached for several weeks in the Stinger 390X on the finer points of boat handling. The boat had Merc 370s and TRS. That was the genesis of his fascination with offshore.

He worked on the first two seasons, and maintained that those were the best. I'd have to agree. The show got lame pretty quickly.

I had always thought the altruistic approach undermined the show's plausibility after a while. It would have been much better if C&T became disillusioned with honest work and turned to the dark side as Cocaine Cowboys.

Staying one step ahead of their former partners would have made for some fine melodrama.

TWIN-SPINS 10-01-2015 06:44 PM

IZZY ,,was the best

harleyeater 10-01-2015 06:57 PM

Every day from 10 am til 2pm on El Rey

f_inscreenname 10-04-2015 09:13 PM

The marathon thing must be every Sunday cause its on again tonight.

Canuck B Crazy 10-04-2015 10:26 PM

Discovered it on Direct forget the channel now. The problem they air it 1am. So I broke down and bought the first two seasons on DVD. I also bought Hill Street Blues, season one and two. Ironic that Vice was created by Anthony Yerkovich, who was a producer and writer on Hill Street Blues.

Got Cigs 10-05-2015 11:44 AM

Have all 5 seasons, but 1 and 2 are definitely the best, and most watched.

Canuck B Crazy 10-05-2015 07:06 PM

I've watched a few episodes now. Good but dated. I'm not going to bother with the other seasons. Back in the 80's I stopped watching after the alien abduction story line started.

northernoffshore 10-05-2015 09:59 PM

'mirror image ' are the best episodes.... velocity and talon

f_inscreenname 10-07-2015 10:05 PM

All I want to know is who are the two chicks walking away from the camera in the intro.
