Music Ok the ultimate Miami Vice Music Encyclopedia is here!
This went way beyond what I originally was going to build.. but, I couldn’t help myself. Plus I had a blast doing it and discovered some gems I either forgot about or didn’t know were ever in any episode.
You can sort or search and toggle views between episodes, artists or fan favorites (complete with voting, that’s stored in firebase db).
I also went through and hand selected the best video available for each song, and you can listen or watch instantly inside the episode or artist cards. I tried to use the original artists YT account where possible, and also the vids with fewest ads.
I added a reporting function too that opens a form to address issues.
The heart on each song is for voting and there’s a leaderboard as well to track them forever.
Let me know what you think! And if you get any errors or funkiness, comment and I’ll investigate.
Enjoy!

IMPORTANT! MUST-READ! MUST-READ POST BEFORE WATCHING MIAMI VICE!
Hey, so one of the problems when watching Miami Vice is the order of the episodes, the biggest problem being the finale of the show placed so that there are 4, so called, "Lost Episodes" after it. I'm just going to copy paste the correct episode order from another site so that you guys have it all in one place and most importantly, the way the text was written on that site spoils some of the most important events in the show, including the end, so to avoid any and all spoilers you can use this post!
Also, there is a scene in Season 4 episode "Deliver Us From Evil" which was added by NBC later on which WASN'T ORIGINALLY PLANNED, and the scene is VERY crucial to the show and the characters of the show. With that being said, it's "recommended" that you don't even acknowledge that scene because it ruins the point of the episode.
"When Miami Vice was originally broadcast by NBC, the order in which the episodes were shown was ultimately chosen by the network. In several instances, this involved moving episodes earlier or later in the season, which in turn introduced continuity goofs that are obvious to anyone watching the show in the supposedly "correct" broadcast order. The purpose of this article is to propose an alternate "chronological" order in which to view the episodes, so that any goofs brought about by the reordering of episodes are undone."
​
SEASON 1
​
Season 1 is not affected by any obvious continuity goofs as a result of reordering.
“Dutch Oven”, an episode from S2, was filmed as a S1 episode, and there is a small goof where Tubbs still has a silver badge, and Zito’s beard disappears for one episode. It should be watched -technically- after Lombard.” - thanks to u/jaap_null for pointing this out!
​
SEASON 2
​
- "The Prodigal Son"
- "Whatever Works"
- "Out Where the Buses Don't Run"
- "Buddies"
- "Junk Love"
- "Tale of the Goat"
- "Bushido"
- "Bought and Paid For"
- "Phil the Shill"
- "One Way Ticket"

- "Yankee Dollar"
- "Little Miss Dangerous"
- "Florence Italy"
- "French Twist"
- "The Fix"
- "Payback"
- "Free Verse"
- "Trust Fund Pirates"
- "Sons and Lovers"
​
SEASON 3
​
- "El Viejo"
- "When Irish Eyes Are Crying"
- "Stone's War"
- "Walk-Alone"
- "Streetwise"
- "The Good Collar"
- "Shadow in the Dark"
- "Better Living Through Chemistry"
- "Baby Blues"
- "Killshot"

- "Lend Me an Ear"
- "Red Tape"
- "By Hooker by Crook"
- "Knock, Knock... Who's There?"
- "Viking Bikers from Hell"
- "Everybody's in Showbiz"
- "Heroes of the Revolution"
​
SEASON 4
​
As with season 1, season 4 is not affected by any obvious continuity goofs as a result of reordering.
​
SEASON 5
​
- "Hostile Takeover"
- "Redemption in Blood"
- "Heart of Night"
- "Borrasca"
- "Bad Timing"
- "Line of Fire"
- "Asian Cut"
- "Hard Knocks"
- "Fruit of the Poison Tree"
- "To Have and to Hold"
- "Miami Squeeze"
- "Jack of All Trades"
- "The Cell Within"
- "The Lost Madonna"
- "Over the Line"
- "Victims of Circumstance"
- "World of Trouble" - Lost Episode
- "Miracle Man" - Lost Episode
- "Leap of Faith" - Lost Episode
- "Too Much, Too Late" - Lost Episode
- "Freefall" - Finale
Another major continuity issue in the season concerns the placement of the "lost" episodes -- these were not originally broadcast as part of thew show's network run, but were instead shown later. This is typically reflected in lists of the show's episodes

Discussion What are your hopes and/or worries with Miami Vice ‘85
Personally, I’m worried that they might just do a retread of the pilot episode, but that being said I really want a remake of the “in the air tonight” scene.

In football terms I get why some were letdown by Austin Butler's casting as Sonny. He's supposed to be a former great WR.
Sonny played at UF. Everyone associates Sonny as a scuffed up & scrappy character. If he was a WR in the modern NFL you'd think a Julian Edleman or Cooper Kupp type. Tough, takes dangerous shots but still gets it done and a winner. Don sold that and you can see the footballer in his identity.
Austin Butler seems like a different kind of WR. More finesse, but capable of big plays. Just not always as consistent. You wonder if he could make the dirty plays. In modern NFL thats a Alec Pierce type. You cant ask Alec Pierce to play like Julian Edleman. Thats a different skillset. However, I think with Kosinski (the right coach) he's going to elevate to a Jordy Nelson.

That's one role we haven't heard cast yet :D

Word of advice to Kosinski
This is a still photo from an episode of the series. Note the bright finish on the set details and lighting that creates contrast and moody shadows, aka, "pastel noir." This is an essential component of the show. If you haven't already studied this, consider doing so immediately haha

HELP! Can I watch Brother's Keeper as a standalone movie?
Hey, everyone! It's my first time posting here and this may have been asked before, but I'm having a hard time finding an answer to the question above and I was hoping for a little help.
I've never seen any Miami Vice but have been intrigued by it, especially with the new movie coming out. Unfortunately I have a hard time committing to longer shows, so I've been hesitant about watching any of it. But with the praise I hear for Brother's Keeper and just how long of an episode it is, I began to wonder if I might be able to watch it as a sort of standalone Miami Vice movie and be satisfied. Would this be a viable approach at all? Thank youuu!

Discussion To the the fans complaining about the Michael B. Jordan's trench
Did y'all not see the pilot episode where Tubbs journey starts on a cold NEW YORK CITY night, wearing a trench coat lmao? Yeah, it's light colored and probably silk or cotton, but I think the black leather update perfectly captures the character's dark, big northern city origins. So c'mon everybody. Chill tf out.

Miami Vice 1990 USA Promo
I really love this promo. It gives a sense of excitement. This is the promo from when the series (after finale) made its debut on the U.S.A channel. Which also aired the lost episodes from season 5..

Sons and Lovers
I somehow had forgotten about this episode. Seeing Sonny in a black suit at the grave was a bit much for this girl. Tears, lots of tears for Ricco

Darkest moment of Miami Vice through the first dozen episodes IMO
There are lots to choose from. For all the neon color, good guy straight laced demeanor of the cops, Reagan era optimism... in the first few eps we get plenty of violence, murder, drug use etc.
For me, the most disturbing reaction to anything I saw on the screen through the first 12 eps was in Glades, episode 9. The locals/villains kidnap a young girl named Tammy. They show the closet/hovel that Tammy is being kept in, one of her captors throws some food at her. A cheese sandwich and a can of beer that explodes at her feet. He basically drops it on her and leaves the room. This is the same guy that has the stand-off with Crocket later in the ep.
That 5 second shot of her sitting down in this empty room looking dirty and scared when her kidnapper comes in and basically throws food and booze on top of her, was more dark and disturbing then anything I'd seen so far.
I am not claiming it is the darkest moment, and I am sure some folks could argue with me about the bruce willis episode, or the burt young episode with some very creepy sexual stuff. But I was so surprised that they actually showed that Tammy as a hostage and how she was being treated.
