Back in the ‘80s there was a cop show that brought hip law enforcement to the beaches of Florida long before David Caruso and his zingers. In 1984 Miami Vice hit the airwaves brought to us by a young Michael Mann. The show starred Don Johnson as James “Sonny” Crockett and Philip Michael Thomas as Ricardo “Rico” Tubbs who were cops that set out to take out drug trafficking while new wave music played. The show lasted five seasons and has 111 episodes of Crocket and Tubbs dealing with cases of vicious drug kingpins and fierce prostitutes.
