Yeah, Olmos actually won an Emmy for Outstanding Supporting Actor in Season 1. Don Johnson was nominated Lead Actor in Season 1 and he should have won, too.
Don Johnson's acting in this whole episode was exceptional. I especially liked the scene where he was telling the doctor he'd be keeping a close eye on the kid's treatment. Sonny taking care of business ♥️
@@tranzco1173 Until Sonny set him straight, that doctor only saw the boy as a poor, black kid from a bad neighborhood in Miami. The other great scene from the episode is when Sonny got back from visiting his son in Ocala and gets in a shouting match about the shooting with Castillo
People always want the best for their loved ones. Which is understandable. But medical care costs money. But people expect medical care to be free. A patient with no money and no insurance, they cannot be turned away from an ER. But demanding the very best care with no means of any kind of payment: A detective threatening a surgeon unless he treats a destitute patient with the most advanced care. Makes for good drama. But next time you wonder why health insurance costs continue to get more and more expensive, it is because we all are paying the bills of people who cannot or will not pay for their care. And before you give a speech on socialized medicine, talk to a Canadian or a UK citizen about the reality of socialized medicine in an urban setting.
@@reddiver7293 "And before you give a speech on socialized medicine, talk to a Canadian or a UK citizen about the reality of socialized medicine in an urban setting." I only need the WHO (World Health Organization) ranking of healthcare in the world as well as the CEOWorld Magazine's Health Care Index to know you're ignorant in these matters. These quality of healthcare can also be compared alongside another index - average lifespan.

If a wealthy country can't afford good healthcare for everybody what does that tell you? Surely money can't be lacking. WHO and CEOWorld Magazine get all the factors, variables and numbers. A fair and balanced survey. *You* have your myopic perception and confirmation bias End of line.
The very best crime drama series on TV. Ever. The acting..... photography..... Miami ambiance...... Michael Mann's directing. Sad day when it all ended.
Man, it's fun going back to these old shows and seeing actors before they were big. Ving has that same sing-song voice. I heard his voice and heard him in Pulp Fiction. Nice.
And this is why Marsellus switched his focus from Sonny to Butch. He realized Miami PD had too much on him. Made a switch to California and took up a new racket. Course he didn’t count on Butch being as slick as Sonny or as tough!
Even back then, Ving Rahmes was a tremendous actor. He brilliantly conveys humanism and remorse. No over the top acting, just straight forward realism.
I like how nuanced ‘Miami Vice’ approaches social dilemmas, as the way Crockett explains Jeffrey's background and how the Health System treats people, and also the manner Tubbs calls Monroe (Ving Rhames) “brother.” The series could point issues in society and even with the main characters without going through a lecturing route like I see in some products in the current landscape. ‘MV’ had more substance than given credit for and kept entertaining people. 'MV' videos make my days easier to get by, even the sad ones, thanks for bringing us back to these memories.
@@heatmizer-jim6762 yeah Stingray!👍👍 - in the 70ies, Starsky & Hutch - the streets were empty when it premiered. The level of violence and swearing plus Huggy was completely unknown then.
You don't find that much intimidation subtly packed into 3 minutes on TV today - there would have to be yelling/screaming/some action of some sort. This was sublime excellence.
Sonny Crockett and Ricardo Tubbs are like angels at the black metal gates of death to prevent those who are thinking of committing suicide from going through. Stay strong.
Crockett and Tubbs were so cool. I used to watch this show with my friends before we went out every Friday. Literally sitting around doing our hair and make-up and eating and when the Hans Zimmer opening came on we settled in.
Nothing, I repeat, nothing beats Miami Vice...I watched this show from the first episode to the last. I graduated high school in 1982, back then there were some cheesy wannabe shows but, when Miami Vice came on that was it!! I wish it was still on today!!!
Crockett and Tubbs brings memories. Classic one liners. Treat him as if he is the President of the United States. As if the whole world is watching. I'm watching. Touch her again. You won't need a social worker.
My absolute favorite show in the 80's. My buddies and I used to go through the halls and go around corners saying "You go high and I'll go low". Back then nobody picked on us for doing it either because everybody loved us and it was in the mid-west. Those were the days, at least for me.
Ving Rhamnes "Two, you leave town tonight, right now. And when you're gone you stay gone or you be gone. You lost all your Miami priveleges."... such a distinctive voice. MV has so many great actors in their early roles. "You gotta taste for the money" Now you gotta work for it.
D*** I forgot just how good this show could be! Thanks for reminding me! And for those of you who never saw it the first time, this show was groundbreaking for its time.😊
This show was very real. So real that when I see episodes now, I'm like "I watched this as a kid?!!!". Seriously, it was ahead of its time. The pure action and adrenaline. I saw someone else on here post that every episode was a mini movie. They are absolutely right.
The exchange in Castillo's office is one of the best acted scenes in the series. I wish I could find a good clip of it. There used to be one, but now there is an edited one with stupid retro-applied music. The most powerful part of that scene between Olmos and Johnson is the straight dialogue, no music. "You didn't call." "Funny, my ex-wife said the same thing. You two been talking?"
Growing up we would watch on Friday nights, and at school Monday mornings, we would discuss those awesome cars we saw. We all said we were gona drive those one day haha.
I was a teenager in the 80s when Miami Vice came out, but now that I’m looking at reruns as a grown man, I did not realize how many up-and-coming actors were on that show.
Yo!!! This was the show man!! Miami Vice!!! Before Bad Boys there was Crockett and Tubbs!! The second best duo in crime fighting, only second to Batman and Robin!!
@David Lloyd - Miami Vice was like The Cosby Show and The Fresh Prince of Bel Air. You go back, watch it, then see all of the guest actors and actresses who eventually became recognized faces and names in their own rights.
So who can stand up to Ving Rhymes? Sonny Crockett! Don Johnson worked with a lot of new and upcoming actors in those days. And they all did a great job on this show.
Man.. this show was the BEST cop show ever... Hill Street Blues was good and NYPD BLue..but Miami Vice.. started all of these.. its the granddaddy of cop shows.
Didn't recognize the face at first, but when I heard the voice I expected "No man, I'm pretty effing far from okay"
Ving, go back and see all the people that had early appearances on the show. You'd be surprised.
@@danielbarnes3271 Same thing with M*A*S*H, lots of first appearances by actors there who made it big later.

😂 DaHh MAn ...😅👍👍👍
got a soft spot for him.
Exactly Philip Michael Thomas's officer Tubbs was even more the man though.
Back when men were men and women were women.

Is that a room spray or an Existentialist category?
Ving Rhames with hair 😂😂😂😂😂 love it.
"No man, I'm pretty F'n far from OK."
Ving Rhames...look like a backup singer for Billie Ocean or Orange Juice Jones 🤣🤣🤣
And here I thought that was Kid, with a mustache.
😉
He had hair in blood in blood out too and it is weird
Came to the comments to see if anyone else recognized him. That voice gave him away. Fun to see him with hair. lol
I grew up with Crockett and Tubbs and I loved it. Loved it
Man, it's fun going back to these old shows and seeing actors before they were big. Ving has that same sing-song voice. I heard his voice and heard him in Pulp Fiction. Nice.

I was expecting him to say “Arby’s, we have the meat!”
Ving stays in front of the camera. One of my favorites for sure. Especially when he smacked baby boy around 😂🤣
Probably the best cop tv show of all time. each episode was so nuanced and felt like a mini movie. acting was perfect and not over the top
Michael Mann was making weekly mini movies with Miami Vice
Totally agree
Also proves that racism is a myth
true. my personal favorite was ''out where the buses don't run''. the Dire Straits song at the end of that one was amazing.
Number one would be Hill Street Blues for me, but this sure is a close second.
“You touch her again, and you won’t need a social worker!” That’s good one! 😂😂😂😂😂
Crockett will be your social worker.

This was the GenX way.
Best music of any TV series ever.
One of the best duos in TV history. And if you lived in that time, you know how groundbreaking that was. Like in the 70ies Starsky & Hutch.
Indeed. Miami Vice, Stingray...All on Friday nights! And as much as I enjoyed Starsky & Hutch, These shows were far superior!
you seen , nash bridges done by don jhonson , he met up with rico tubs in his own cop serie , good to see those two working again , .
I couldn't wait for the weekend (when I was a kid in school) as I knew this was on a Saturday night. This, along with V-the original series.

Right on! Gotta love Tubbs throwing his warning glare and words into the mix, for good measure, as well.
Doctor looked nears tears at the end...
Wow! Ving Rhames. The only reason I recognized him was his voice and way of speaking. Unmistakeable.
He looks thinner.
...but i expect to treat him like the whole world ist watching, because I´AM WATCHING!", that was awesome!!!
Helleva line and delivery! And Tubbs throwing his intimdating two sense in right after Sonny-badass times!
@@babymammoth34 "two sense"🤣🤣
I think this is the only time I've seen Ving rhames with hair. Dude is awesome.
I had forgotten how good Don Johnson was perfect amount of intensity
Don Johnson at his best! This is high level acting here, even I believed every word he said!
Can’t beat the original. Great show and great acting.
I lived in the heart of Miami when I was going to college. Absolutely loved it.
Sonny Crockett and Ricardo Tubbs are like angels at the black metal gates of death to prevent those who are thinking of committing suicide from going through. Stay strong.
Don’t hurt him Crocket we need him in future for impossible missions.
❤❤😂😂😂
🎯🎯🎯🎯
Shows like this and shows from the 80's could never be remade.
No they couldn't, today' s world would be easily offended by the content of the show!Miami Vice.
SONNY IS EXTREMELY PORTECTIVE. I LOVE THAT
I cheered when he delivered that line--we need more like him!:)
@Stefano Pavone FUN IT IS,BULLIES ARE SCARED TO DEATH,IT TAKES A MAN TO SEE IT,HIGH SCHOOL WAS FUN
Crockett and Tubbs were so cool. I used to watch this show with my friends before we went out every Friday. Literally sitting around doing our hair and make-up and eating and when the Hans Zimmer opening came on we settled in.
It was Jan Hammer who did the music not Hans Zimmer.
Miami vice was the best thing on tv
I loved the opening score on that show!
For me it was this, Dukes of Hazzard and Dallas
Absolutely love this show and they are the best cop partners. 😊♥️👍👍
That is true they are a dynamic duo.
I used to grow up watching these guys I miss him so much and I used to stay up really late if the show was on late
Listen to that theme !!! Oh the 80's..I'd love to go back and do it all again..great time to be young..
Cocaine,
Man I miss Miami Vice. Seriously was a groundbreaking show in many respects..Also: Ving Rhames with a High Top Fade..
Best TV show ever. Beats everything else hands down. Massive Miami Vice fan me.
I don't think I missed a single episode. Great show.
So what happened to this kid?
You & me both!
Nothing, I repeat, nothing beats Miami Vice...I watched this show from the first episode to the last. I graduated high school in 1982, back then there were some cheesy wannabe shows but, when Miami Vice came on that was it!! I wish it was still on today!!!
This is why Don is real life father, for his character Sonny, it takes guts to protect the innocent.
What??
Crockett and Tubbs brings memories. Classic one liners.
Treat him as if he is the President of the United States. As if the whole world is watching. I'm watching.
Touch her again. You won't need a social worker.

Don Johnson had some god damned good hair, man.
Sonny Crockett is the coolest character in TV history. His looks, his style, his car, his boat, he even had a gator named Elvis.
He played Elvis in a movie.
Oh my goodness Miami Vice I haven't seen any clips of this whatsoever until now I love it I love it I love it❤
I felt that! The way Sonny (Don Johnson) talked to the doctor... I felt that.
D*** I forgot just how good this show could be! Thanks for reminding me! And for those of you who never saw it the first time, this show was groundbreaking for its time.😊
Don Johnson's hair is perfect!!!!!! Love that 80s hairstyle

Brilliant series- the 80’s rocked
Man! Luv me some Miami Vice! I didn't know Ving Rhames played in an episode!
I need to find a network that's running the re-runs!

One of the best shows ever on TV
Marcellus Wallace getting checked by Crocket and Tubbs
I lived there and through it and a lot of it was true to life in the 1980’s in Miami
A lot of people forgot that "Marlboro" from Harley Davidson And The Marlboro Man threatened "Marsellus Wallace" from Pulp Fiction in Miami Vice 🙂
Or that GI Joe Lt Falcon took a dim view to women abusers. :)
I never knew Ving Rhames had a box cut. That's dope!
I never knew it was him until I heard his voice.

He told him you won’t need a social worker, you will cease to exist. He’s not playing!
the hair the beard the jackets. Pure 80s love it
Wow..all those years ago. I can see alot of nash bridges in sonny.
1 of the best TV shows. Ever!! AICS.
Such a great scene. Love that, even though Tubbs knew Crockett pushed the doctor too hard, he still backed his partner up 100%.
So who can stand up to Ving Rhymes? Sonny Crockett! Don Johnson worked with a lot of new and upcoming actors in those days. And they all did a great job on this show.
Don’t know why this isn’t on peacock smh
This was my favorite show
lol these ancient shows were so simple. Just walk in, threaten everybody in sight and walk out.
Man.. this show was the BEST cop show ever... Hill Street Blues was good and NYPD BLue..but Miami Vice.. started all of these.. its the granddaddy of cop shows.

Let him know sonny and Crockett 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
About a year ago I bought the whole series still in the original package at a yard sale talk about going back in time
Young Ving Rhames.. I didn't even recognize him until I heard his voice..😂😂
It's mad I only started watching the old series last week make no mistake about it one off the best TV ever
Hard hitting scene , Philip Michael Thomas and Don Johnson were great in this along with an early Performance from Ving Rhames .
