Does anyone else get the irony of this?  Its like some clerk at Radio Shack telling someone they were selling a TRS80 to ... "Yea they've got this internet thing thats new this year.  You can send instant messages to anyone w/ a computer anywhere in the world instantly for free.  I don't know if anyone is going to be interested in it.  Only time will tell."

 

THE SNEAK PREVIEW

 

Published June 14, 1984

For better or worse, Miami is either going to influence, or be a footnote to, a little piece of television history.

For better or worse, there has never been a show on television quite like Miami Vice.

It is a show that is certain to be talked about. It is a show that contains flashes of brilliance with its cinematic and scoring innovation, but that, at times, can be disturbing in its brutality in the name of realism.

The two-hour pilot for the forthcoming cop show was screened by NBC Wednesday for the nation’s television critics meeting here. All 12 episodes of Miami Vice (a standard network fall season order), its producers say, will be filmed entirely on location in our toddling town.
