I forget that you were in your toddler years when Miami Vice was on the telly. To be fair, I never watched it, but it was a rather trend-setting cop show at the time. Don Johnson and this other guy played vice cops who had fancy cars and fancy boats because, I guess, they were pretending to be drug dealers or something. They had artfully stubbled faces and wore pastel jackets with pastel shirts and loafers without socks and it was totally a trend. Did you ever see The Wedding Singer? Drew Barrymore's fiance dresses like that at one point.

Anyway - it was the first "MTV influenced" show in that it had lots of cool music montages.
