Crockett and Tubbs: Busting Cases and Busting Out How Many Seasons of Miami Vice?
You've got the pastel t-shirts, the loafers that could double as boats, and a killer Phil Collins playlist bumping in your ear. You're ready to take on the bad guys Miami-style, but there's one burning question before you head out: how many seasons of Miami Vice are there?
Fear not, fellow undercover enthusiast! We're here to break it down like Sonny Crockett explaining the finer points of Ferrari Testarossa handling to a bewildered drug lord.
The Verdict: Five Seasons of Sun-Soaked Vice
That's right, my friends, Miami Vice graced our screens for a glorious five seasons, running from 1984 to 1989. That's 114 episodes of Crockett and Tubbs infiltrating drug rings, taking down mob bosses, and looking impossibly cool while doing it.
But Wait, There's More! The Case of the Missing Episode
Here's a little-known fact that might make you shout "Freeze!" mid-binge. There's actually an un-aired episode from season 5 that found its way onto the USA Network during syndication. This phantom episode, titled "The Final Episode," wasn't part of the original NBC run, but it served as a fitting conclusion to the series. So, technically, there are 114 and ¾ episodes if you want to get super specific.
So You've Finished Miami Vice...Now What?
Feeling a Crockett-shaped hole in your life? Don't worry, we've got you covered. Here are some ideas to keep the vice vibes going:
