On this day in 1984 Miami Vice premiered on NBC

Flashback to 1984 when the hit TV series Miami Vice hit the airwaves.  Conceived as an answer to MTV programming of the time, the show starred Don Johnson and Philip Michael Thomas as Police Detectives James “Sonny” Crockett and Ricardo Tubbs who solved crimes while undercover in Miami.  The classic (and arguably quintessential) 80’s series ran for 5 seasons.

NBC honors the show by posting it’s iconic intro to YouTube.  You can even stream full episodes for free at NBC.com.

Check out the video below and try not to get pumped with nostalgia and an urge to revisit this great 80’s TV show!
