Pine Barrens Mafia Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 Was watching some old episodes of Miami Vice on Hulu the other night, and my God, was the acting awful in that show. I mean, barely watchable. And yet, it was among the most iconic of 80s shows. Thank heavens the 80s ended. Now if we could just get douche-nozzle kids from popping their collars like it's the 80s, all of us old bastards could ride off into the sunset in peace...

Cugalabanza Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 Definitely the worst decade ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WellDressed Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 That show was a fashion statement. The 80's were the real. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bullpen Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 Edward James Olmos was a very attractive man and very verbose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
el Tigre Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 I used to love that show. I remember they had Roberto Duran guest star on one episode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Today, many shows look like theatrical releases (The CSIs, Heroes, Lost, etc). Don Johnson looked better running around with Cheech because they could spend the money to do so. Note the contrast with the same music, Dire Straits' "Brothers in Arms": Miami Vice (Go to the 42:30 mark) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't take much to please an audience that has 3/4 of a gram of coke stuffed up each nostril. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Jack Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 Miami Vice (Go to the 42:30 mark) I remember seeing that episode back when it was first on. That one scene with the music is the only thing I can remember from then entire Miami Vice series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
