More people are familiar with Miami Vice than they are with Patrick Purdy. |

Yes and no... the European version originally had covered headlights, but the pop-ups were added to make the cars US-compliant. No covered headlights were allowed at the time. I remember what they did to the XK-E, too; they took away the trademark covered headlamps and put in speshul US headlight assemblies. Now it's the norm.

What kind of short shotgun did Tubbs have in that series?
He used to produce it from under his jacket and fold down the front grip - it looked kind of like an early-American Serbu Super Shorty. |

Do your own little survey. Ask people on the street if they remember Patrick Purdy. Then ask them whether they remember MV and can tell you all about it. But even if you think that Patrick Purdy should get most of the credit -- tell me with a straight face that this show promotes a responsible, realistic view of guns in the US. |

Yep. The first Lt they had was the same actor who played Fred Sanford's neighbor whose goats always got into Fred's junk. To this day I always think of Julio and his goats when I see that guy. Castillo was cool. |

Gregory Sierra ( 1st guy) He played Julio on Sanford And Son.. Also was in Barney Miller.. Edward James Olmos was a bad ass for sure... He could look at you and you would die. |

True, but many anti-gunners looked at such as TV show as trainging videos for guns

Castillo was such a badass. He would just growl at Crockett and Tubbs and they would fall in line. They knew he could kick their asses with ease. Their first LT was more of a camp councellor than a boss. |

My parents have my 2nd grade class photo hanging up in their house. Right in the middle of the perfectly posed, smiling kids, there I am in a baby blue linen sport coat with the sleeves pushed up, arms crossed, with a too cool for school look on my face. It is a priceless photo.

Miami Vice caused my gun " Problem"... I wonder what Id be buying if that show never existed..

Same here. If it were any other director besides him, I would of been worried. But Miami Vice is just about his baby, so I don't think he'd ruin it. Although, I am a bit concerned about his choice for Crockett...

Miami Vice not only caused my gun "problem", it also fueled my lust for fast cars and hot chicks (usually Latina) in bikinis.
Where's the love for Phil Collins? Doesn't he have a Lamborghini _____ (not the Countach, but something that begins with a J) in one episode? The soundtrack is indeed awesome. I love it when Jan Hammer shows up on my MP3 player. |

It has been rumoured that Hammer spends something like a 40hours per doing the music for the show. I have the sound track and I listen to it every once in while. Some of the music is a bit dated, but I still like it. |

I'd watch a movie with all the original characters only. Course, the way the series ended a new movie refreshing the series will not make. |
