Why Miami Vice might be annoying
It popularized 'designer stubble.'
It spawned three different soundtrack albums, not to mention Thomas and Johnson's music careers.
Sonny's Ferrari Daytona Spyder was really a modified Corvette.
Director Lee Katzin said, 'The show is written for an MTV audience which is more interest in images, emotions and energy than plot and character.'
Later seasons featured many plots that either resembled soap operas (Crockett gets amnesia and becomes a hitman) or were just ridiculous (James Brown as an space alien).
Advisors for George H. W. Bush tried to wrangle a guest appearance.
