I have nothing good to say about seasons 4 or 5, except horrifically awful, especially season 4. I have nothing to say about seasons 4 or 5 except that was this really Miami Vice the show that was unlike any other in the history of television. Creator also of the lame Law and Order series. So if anyone is to blame of Vice's downfall, it's Dick Wolf. I think the problem lies with the shows producer John Nicolla, who left and was replaced by Dick Wolf who probably was never in favor of the pastel energetic Mimai Vice of the first two seasons. The outcome, ratings dropped, and the show was not Miami Vice that everyone fell in love with. Season 3 took out all the fun and excitement of the first two seasons and replaced it with a more darker depressing Miami Vice. Which was blown up in the season premiere of season 3 When Irish Eyes are Crying. Dark broody colors were replaced in the background, the music was replaced with unknown artists, and Crockett looked more like a banker/rock star, and his beloved Spider Ferrari was replaced with a Testarossa. Gone was the pastel background colors, snappy pop tunes, and Crocketts famous look that made him an icon among men and his fast wheeling car. It's sad to say, out of all five seasons of Vice, only the first two seasons defy what Miami Vice was and are the only two seasons that really kick Miami Vice ass!! Season 3 became more of a darker Vice that took away everything that made the first two seasons such a highly entertaining show. Your not a real Vice fan if you don't like The Prodigal Son. A well directed, very entertaining Vice episode that features lots of action, drug busts, romance, and totally awesome 80's music. I do think though that season 2 features the greatest Miami Vice episode of all time which is The Prodigal Son. It just doesn't even come close to the flawless season 1. Even though I don't like these episodes, I still consider season 2 a very good season. Three episodes that season 1 would of never of thought of making. Whatever Works, Tale of the Goat, and Bushido. Season 2 featured three episodes that I consider awful. The problem with season 2, is the show focusing on bizarre situations such as voodoo, satanism, and other weird stuff. As good as Season 2 was and it was good, it doesn't compare to Season 1. Other great episodes of season 1 are The Great McCarthy, Little Prince, Milk Run, I can go on and on. One episode that features all this, is Calderone's Return- Part 1 and 2. Action, drama, intensity, thrills, music, style, and relationships. Season one was everything that made Mimai Vice what it is now. Vice started with a bang with the excellent pilot episode, and it never looked backed for the next 22 episodes. Situations which really happen in real life. Season one was the season where Vice really focused all it's episodes in real life situations. It quite obvious the best season of Miami Vice is the first season.
MIAMI VICE THEME TV
The Miami Vice theme was a song that defined a show that defined a generation.What can I say about Miami Vice that hasn't already been said, except that it is the greatest TV show ever made in the history of television. Listening to it now, you can easily pictures the flamingos scurrying down that hill, the windsurfer dipping her head in the water, and the jai alai guy whipping his cesta (hey, that’s what it’s called). The show’s soundtrack topped the Billboard album charts for four weeks, and the theme song was the last (to date) instrumental to hit #1. Not only did his unique, synth-heavy music set the tone for the series, it also launched Hammer into the stratosphere musically.
And no man benefited from that more than Jan Hammer (pronounced Yahn Hahmur, dontchaknow). We’ve already talked about Miami Vice‘s impact on the fashion world, but it had just as huge an impact on music, too. Then he got the call from NBC in early 1984 to begin working on the music for a new cop show they were launching in the fall. In the 70s and early 80s, Jan Hammer whiled away his days working with legendary guitarists like Jeff Beck and Journey’s Neal Schon.
