Think different.
I would guess it was a two-hour premiere, stretched to three by the braintrust at NBC.Edit: IMDb lists the runtime as 92 minutes. Perfect for a two-hour TV slot, but three hours? Yikes.

Looks like they're going to be spending some time to pimp the movie:
"MIAMI VICE: UNDERCOVER
Colin Farrell and Jamie Foxx host a three-hour Miami Vice event that takes you back in time with the original 2-hour Miami Vice pilot - now in HD! - and up to the present with an original featurette on acclaimed director Michael Mann's new take on his own '80's classic. Don't miss a car chase, explosion, Don Johnson's infamous wardrobe, or a special sneak peek at this summer's hottest blockbuster... Miami Vice!"

It's on at 8:00 eastern.
I always like watching Jimmy Smits getting blown up.
Miami Vice has been on Sleuth for months. They only run seasons 1 & 2 though. They are on their 3rd or 4th round right now.

They've shown Season 3 as well. That's what season they're on right now.
The Man With No Name
Footballguy
Right. The one with Mark Breland, Don King, and Tex Cobb was pretty good, except for Zito getting killed.

Season 3 was the last standout season. The show started to fall apart in Season 4 although there were still some decent ones. But Tubbs with a beard should've been a bad omen that things were only going to get worse.

I've seen bits and pieces of the show, but I was born in 83 so it's a little before my time. Just finished the pilot on Netflix and gonna start working through the series.

The weekly score by Jan Hammer was the best music on TV I ever heard.
There were a lot of great guest spots.
It got better once James Edward Olmos was cast, he had more natural gravitas than the guy from Sanford and Son (which may be another before your time reference).

In the first 5 episodes of this series, like 9 or 10 cops have been killed. Seems excessive.

Paul Giamatti shot a pilot for a show where he played a Miami cop in 1985, but it got passed over. I would have checked it out, but I'm probably not the youth demographic they were seeking.

Actually last night in Showtime they showed a version that was expanded. Still holds up. Apparently the main guy died of cancer and Griselda was assassinated two years ago. When it was first made I believe she was missing and presumed dead in 2003 or 04 but she was in Columbia laying low all that time

Add John Torturro and Pam Grier... Season 1 just has such a crazy cast of guest stars.
Add Ving Rhames into the mix.
