ziplex Posted December 28, 2011 Report Share Posted December 28, 2011 Me and my mrs were just arguing over a Yazoo track which turned out to be by Axel F, that I though was by Jan Hammer anyhow...........long story short, i've just got onto Amazon (seeing as my memory has been jogged) and ordered the first series of Miami Vice for approx' a tenner! I know it's old hat now but anyone else have a soft spot for this era?? the cars, boats, women, dress sense etc, etc...... I'm looking forward to having another watch of it....if only to re-kindle fond memories of how things were, or wished they might of been Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bruno22rf Posted December 28, 2011 Report Share Posted December 28, 2011 I have a soft spot for this televisual delight but would have to be a contortionist to take a picture of it-is this a wind up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bullet boy Posted December 28, 2011 Report Share Posted December 28, 2011 I'm stuck in the 80's!! I did like Miami Vice but overall I'm a Starsky and Hutch fan.Haven't seen the newer Starsky and Hutch film and never will as you can't replace Paul Michael Glaser or David Soul. As for Miami Vice I liked the clothes they wore and the weather was always stunning!! I did have Jan Hammer's album 'Escape from Television' and it is superb-you get lost in it!

ack-ack Posted December 29, 2011 Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 Awful period. Even the smut was dire. I'd rather be transported to the dark ages than live through the chuffing eighties again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSPUK Posted December 29, 2011 Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 Have to agree - 80's should be buried in past and never reserected. I was late 60's - now there was a time - women were bra-less and see through blouses. :yes: Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bullet boy Posted December 29, 2011 Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 Starsky and Hutch was in the 70's. Your absolutely right it was in the 70's.It seems like yesterday it was on! The 80's was by far the best era IMO!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yates Posted December 29, 2011 Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 The 80's were great musically. U2(when they used to good), Big Country, The Alarm. But then again on seconds thoughts there was Culture Club, Marilyn, Duran Duran, Spandau Ballet, so things weren't that good after all.

Not much to write home about really. See through blouses sound great by the way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timps Posted December 29, 2011 Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 (edited) I have a major soft spot for Miami Vice, mainly because I lived in Miami (Dade & Broward county) for a couple of years in the late 80’s when I decided to travel the world and ended up staying put in Miami. I used to go to Penrod's Beach Club were they shot a couple of episodes. Not see any episodes for ages but would definitely watch them again if I stumbled on one whilst flicking through the channels. It was one of the best times of my life Edited December 29, 2011 by timps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imperfection Posted December 29, 2011 Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 Hey,dont dis the 80's...our very own NickBeardo used to be in a famous group-he's the second left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the hitman Posted December 29, 2011 Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 Nowt wrong with Miami vice , it was a huge success so much so that the Ferrari company gave them a white testarossa for the second season after the black daytona spider ( a corvette with a body kit ) was blown up. After Michael Mann left the show went down hill. But unless you were of age to watch it at the time you cant imagine how huge a show it was.
