Aside from some Clothes i own i was recently able to get my hand on a few Miami Dade Badges, Miami Vice Sun Glasses and a Miami Vice Wrist Watch. Here are some Pictures of some of the Badges and the Watch

Little Prince, as the gals takeover the stakeout shift, and are disgusted by Stan’s poster. Then he winks as he leaves

I like Sonny's jacket, so that helped! And yes...Miracle Man....ugh. Watched it only twice and barely made it through either time.

Little Richard one of the founders of Rock’n’Roll („Good Golly Miss Molly“, „Tutti Frutti“) passed away at the age of 87. we will always remember him as guest star in 1985 episode „Out where the buses don’t run“ as Marvelle Quinn. RIP

I know Golden Triangle does not have regular loose ends, but at the end of GTII it is very clearly put that Castillo and Lao Li "relationship" might continue. This thread made me think about it (Brilliant of me, isn't it? Only 35 years too late). What if on season 2-5 Lao Li clan (or Lao Li himself) returned to face Castillo? Imagine that!

You are right about the centerfold, RedDragon!

Yes, Little Prince! I forgot why they looked disgusted, so thank you for the reminder!

This was great. I saved this for sure! Thanks Dadrian.

Lol! You always make me laugh, RdDragon! Aw, well, I can see why you thought that, but, no.

Gina & Trudy annoyed at Stan's monthly centrefold

Oh, man, I thought it was "Shadow", too! Good call!

Is that Killshot?

Yes, that jacket is the worst ever!!

I believe it was and that was the same seaplane in the opening credits (N2969) and the one that’s wing eventually fell off and killed everyone aboard thus grounding Chalks and dooming them forever. More on that —> here As I recall reading the NTSB reports at the time, the pilot’s husband also worked for Chalks as a Captain and they had both complained numerous times before about safety and maintenance concerns on those aging planes. Further testing on the rest of those Mallards showed the same metal fatigue on those wings too due to the thousands of water landing during their career. All were a ticking time bomb and a death trap waiting to happen. That contributed to the bankruptcy and closing of them, forever. Interesting and sad story to read about.

Well Tubbs god awful jacket put him in season 5. I won’t watch Miracle Man so I wouldn’t have gotten it.

Great look Dadrian

I agree with this. There were so many missed opportunities. We're never really told where any of the major characters came from (except Tubbs) and how they ended up in Miami. OK, it was implied (I think in Made for Each Other) Zito was from Staten Island but once again, how did he end up in Miami??? And Gina has an Italian last name, but it turns out she is Cuban. Was her aunt married to a man of Italian origin? Did she live in Miami from the time her aunt brought her from Cuba? Did Trudy come from the mean streets of Overtown? I had a fixed idea Crockett grew up near the Everglades or the Keys (which was never said, I just assumed for some reason...), maybe because his hobby was fishing. For me, just giving them a background would have increased some opportunities for storytelling inspirations.

I just watched a Starsky and Hutch episode today called Murder Ward. It was written by Yerkovich and one of the orderlies at the mental institution was named Switek! He reused the character names Sonny Crockett and Rico from Hill Street Blues and now this. Apparently he wrote a second episode that had Philip Michael Thomas in the cast. Haven’t seen that one.
