Early Recognition

Miami Vice is considered to be a groundbreaking television show. Its use of popular music and "movie-like" filming techniques changed the landscape of prime time TV. It's easy to see that now almost 30 years removed from its debut, but I was happy to find that even early in its run the show was receiving attention for some of the fresh ideas that it brought to the table.



In a 2 page article from the Palm Beach Post dated November 10th, 1984 writer Bob Michals covers the shows immediate influence. It includes comments from executive producer Michael Mann, series creator Anthony Yerkovich, an NBC spokesperson, a Miami Police Department public relations spokesman, and star Don Johnson.
