When mentioning the most prominent television shows of the 1980's, people most often bring up six shows: (1) The Cosby Show, (2) Cheers, (3) Family Ties, (4) Hill Street Blues, (5) Dallas, and (6) Miami Vice. And though all these shows are firmly embedded in the psyche of most Americans during this great decade, nothing is more synonymous to each other than Miami Vice and the 1980's. Television detectives Crockett and Tubbs driving around in a red Ferrari Testarossa convertible in their Miami beat chasing drug smugglers and car thieves, while wearing bright-colored t-shirts under cream colored sports jackets more than left an impression on those who remember 1980's television in terms of fashion and attitude. The show itself was fun and extravagant, with a great cast. This combination made Miami Vice one of the highest rated shows of its era- and arguably its most popular.
