Retro80sfan Posted March 27, 2018 Report Share Posted March 27, 2018 (edited) When listening to one of my favorite songs: Metallica's "Nothing Else Matters" that was released in 1992, I couldn't help, but think that this would have been a perfect choice for the show, had it continued into the 90s. Now of course I feel that MV should only be an 80s show with no exception, that it ended at the perfect time in 1989 (especially considering the decline of MV at that time), but still it's a little fun "what if" scenario for me. It might be no surprise that the show might would have evolved to coincide with the grunge/hip-hop scene of that era. Again, I can only see MV as a 80s show (maybe into the early 90s) and it's quite a bit hard to see the show made in any other time period. Now what songs made after MV do you think should have been on the show, had it lasted longer into that decade? Here are a few of my picks: "Cherry Pie" by Warrant "Don't Want to Fall In Love" by Jane Child "Still Cruisin" by the Beach Boys (made in '89, but still is one of the songs I would like to have heard on the show) Edited March 28, 2018 by Retro80sfan 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy Vercetti Posted March 27, 2018 Report Share Posted March 27, 2018 (edited) You're unbelievable, (Andrew Dice Clay): Oh! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SvGTwfvrtfo Could be used in a car chase or speedboat scene displaying driving or boat skills.

TylerDurden389 Posted May 24, 2018 Report Share Posted May 24, 2018 (edited) Oh man. "Closer" by Nine Inch Nails back in like 1994 would've been PERFECT for an episode for Crockett and Tubbs (or whomever by that point) to go into an S&M club full of people wearing black leather, whips and chains, spike collars, etc... while looking for baddies, lol. "Sitting Outside A Broken Phone Booth With Money In My Hands" would've been good for a slower, non-talking scene at nighttime as well. How about "Rusty Cage" by Soundgarden for a car chase scene? I could honestly go on and on but you get the idea. Gotta give everyone else a chance too, lol.

Administrators James Posted May 24, 2018 Administrators Report Share Posted May 24, 2018 I can imagine this would be in the beginning of a season 6 episode. Season 6 would've been 1989-1990. One for season 7 or 8 in 1991 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Id also include “Here Comes the Flood” from Peter Gabriel’s 1990 Best of which was redone with just piano. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agent 47 Posted May 29, 2018 Report Share Posted May 29, 2018 If Miami Vice had continued into 1990/1991 then this song would have been too perfect. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt5 Posted May 30, 2018 Report Share Posted May 30, 2018 Dark - but would have fitted in well into a 1990 episode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Posted May 30, 2018 Report Share Posted May 30, 2018 The heavy guitar parts of this I'd use. 1:25-1:55 and 2:50 - to the end. Skip the cringey violins. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Posted May 31, 2018 Report Share Posted May 31, 2018 I think the 90's sucked to be honest. I went back and listened to this theme today and it's horribly dated. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went back and listened to this theme today and it's horribly dated. I actually like this tune, very catchy and light which fits well with the tone of the show although the lyrics are too simple. I don't like the yellow and red color scheme though, for the outfits nor the car, it's awful. And Nash Bridges is apparently having a reboot too.

C&T could be just finished working a case and head home for the night. One of them are stopped by a young girl in the midst of prostitutes who he makes idle chat with, but it's a trick and her gang of hoodlums try to rob him, but his partner comes to his rescue. Cue the opening credits. C&T spend the rest of the episode trying to catch them. I was thinking that maybe some how they keep interrupting C&T drug busts and risking their lives and covers in the process, stealing drugs and money from them. At least, that's what I have so far.

What about - Crockett was cruising in the Ferrari, girl pulls him up and flirts as he always does, and the hoodlums steal the car and the episode is about finding the car theft ring and getting the car back. I don't think they really had a car based episode except for Florence Italy. Instead of stupid stuff like cow semen and aliens they could've done a car theft ring. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all know how much Crockett loves his car. You would think they would make an episode surrounding his love for his car. Maybe it could have been kinda transcending period where he finally does get it back, but it's tore up due to their not maintaining it. It could be like Ferris Bueller where they take it for a little joyride just because. Maybe the damage is so severe that could take months to repair, that Crockett will not give up on it, possibly due to him not forgetting his loss of his Daytona and he'd be darned of another criminal takes another one from him. So that in the mean time his temporary (or permanent for the 90s) car could be a 80s pastel colored Corvette (a nod to his first car from the first two seasons) while he fixes up his Testarossa. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
