The Resume

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.

Why Miami Vice might not be annoying:

    Its visual style influenced 80s TV, movies and fashion.
    It was noted for integrating music into scenes in an innovative way.
    It featured guest appearances by musicians ranging from Sheena Easton and Phil Collins to Miles Davis and Frank Zappa.
    It often took a cynical look at the war on drugs.
    Miami tourism officials credited the show with changing the city's image from a retirement community to a fun and exciting place.
    Producer Michael Mann went on to a successful career directing movies.
