January 19th - 25th:

**There was no Season 1 premiere episode this week.**

"One Way Ticket", the 14th episode of the 2nd season, premiered on NBC on Friday, January 24th, 1986 at 9PM EST. Some notes on this episode (from Miami Vice Wiki):
* This was the first episode broadcast in the 9:00PM timeslot, the new time Miami Vice would air starting with the third season.
* Jan Hammer has a cameo as a wedding musician in this episode.
* Miami Vice producer Richard Brams makes a cameo appearance as the firing range supervisor where Crockett takes target practice.
* This episode marks the last time that Crockett is seen smoking a cigarette.
* Zito's beard reappears for a final time, despite him being clean-shaven in the two preceding episodes.

"Cuba Libre", the 14th episode of the 3rd season, premiered on NBC on Friday, January 23rd, 1987 at 9PM EST. Some notes on this episode (from Miami Vice Wiki):
* With John Diehl now gone, the opening credits show Saundra Santiago's name over the Testarossa driving by and Michael Talbott's name during the first ocean view. The second shot of the ocean (previously with John Diehl's name) is simply blank.
* This is one of only three Season 3 episodes in which Tubbs is shown brandishing his shotgun, but he never fires the weapon once during the entire third season.
* During the final scene, Castillo can be seen in the background getting out of a squad car and opening the back door for Vasquez's wife. The next shot shows him doing exactly the same thing.

"Rock And A Hard Place", the 11th episode of the 4th season, premiered on NBC on Friday, January 22nd, 1988 at 9PM EST. Some notes on this episode (from Miami Vice Wiki):
* The narration during the introductory sequence featuring scenes from "Like A Hurricane" says "Previously on Miami Vice", implying the events just occurred last week, rather than being three episodes before.
* This episode features one of Crockett's rare trips out of state on Miami Vice.

**There was no Season 5 premiere episode this week.**
