A TV Show That Turned The Eyes of the World on Miami
Nothing defined Miami in pop culture more than “Miami Vice.” The stylish neo-noir crime drama burst onto television screens in 1984 with Detectives Sonny Crockett (Don Johnson) and Rico Tubbs (Philip Michael Thomas) in their white blazers and leisure suits, solving crimes and capturing bad guys, all while zooming through Biscayne Bay aboard a Wellcraft Scarab muscleboat or driving across the causeways in their Ferrari Daytona Spyder 365 GTS/4. The opening credits alone paint a picture of the subtropical neon scene forever associated with the destination: palm trees, pink flamingos, aquamarine seas, windsurfers, girls in bikinis, jai alai, Bentleys, flashy architecture–even the show’s logo is emblazoned in our collective memory as the de facto logo for Greater Miami & Miami Beach with all its sharp angles and glowing neon.
