Miami Vice
The other day there was nothing on TV -- not an uncommon occurrence around here since we are the only people in the world who don't have cable or satellite! -- so Robert pulled out some old videotapes of Miami Vice. (Yes, we have a DVD player -- got it last year -- but haven't traded up on all our tapes to DVD.)I love that show. A lot of people get kind of snarky about it, but in its time, it was really something special. Don Johnson and Philip Michael Thomas were gorgeous, and the music is still the best TV-show music ever. (With the possible exception of the Hawaii 5-0 theme song. That still rocks, too.)
We have so many favorite episodes -- "Evan" and "Glades" are two of mine, along with the pilot. Excellent shows! And though I wouldn't want to see the men in pastel clothes with no socks today, the sight of Sonny's unshaven jaw still makes me tingle. Don Johnson was sooo fantasy-worthy!
Well, off to work now. Who knows? I may reward myself with an episode or two of MV when I'm done!
