Miami Vice is an American television series produced by Michael Mann for NBC. The show became noted for its heavy integration and use of music and visual effects to tell a story. The series starred Don Johnson and Phillip Michael Thomas as two Metro-Dade Police detectives working undercover in Miami. It ran for five seasons on NBC from 1984–1989. The USA Network would later broadcast an unaired episode during its syndication run of the series on January 25, 1990.

Unlike standard police procedurals, the show drew heavily upon 1980s New Wave culture and music. It is recognized as one of the most influential television series of all time.[1] People magazine stated that Miami Vice "was the first show to look really new and different since color TV was invented."[1] The series currently airs on the Sleuth network in the United States, MBC Action in the Arab World, Men & Motors in the United Kingdom, Iris in Italy, Viasat 4 in Norway, Viasat TV6 in Sweden, Viasat 3+ in Denmark and TV7 in Bulgaria. As of February 2008, NBC has begun to post Miami Vice episodes online every Wednesday, with the option to download for a fee.[2]

Michael Mann went on to direct a film adaptation of the television series, which was released on July 28, 2006.
