Looks just as cheesy as Baywatch with as bad acting as in CSI Miami.
how do you people remember those things? Like the people who say they still watch the TV show Dallas
I'm old enough to remember how Miami Vice revolutionized television back then. It was the first TV show with anywhere near that much violence. It was the first show to have popular contemporary music being played on it or to frequently feature top of the line sports cars and boats. As cheesy as those clothes look now they had everybody dressing like them back in the earlier 80's. Much of the show looked and felt like a music video and that was the first TV show ever shot that way (Music videos were a new thing back then.) It was the ultimate cool show back then and everybody I knew watched it.
Hey! How did this thread get on Miami Vice?

Miami Vice had a huge impact on the image of Miami back then. Like anything else, the reality and what is entertainment are totally different things. But I will give credit to that show steering the image of Miami away from "God's Waiting Room" to "Glitzy and Contemporary with a hint of danger". It wasn't until the 1990's when it went into full swing though.
Also, not as many people had cable back then as they do now, so more people were watching these types of shows.
Media and entertainment have a huge impact on imagery and perception. You wouldn't believe the amount of idiotic questions I get when I'm in other parts of the country and I tell them I live in Atlanta due to what they hear or see on TV.
i think kidphilly opened a thread that asked this question. cause Houston's galleria seems to be in between suburbs and urban. even though there's a suburban feel to it... it's not entirely classifiable as a suburb. and one major factor in this case would be because it actually is not a suburb but Houston itself.
either way, I think this part of Houston isn't quite classifiable, as are other areas around the nation that are comparable.
I didn't say it was a suburb in Houston. I said it would be a suburb if it was in other parts of the country. If this was placed in the Baltimore metro area, it would easily be a suburb. Edge City ( like Addison in Dallas), but a suburb nonetheless.

They provide a false sense of enhanced urbanity, dont see anyone with them up here, maybe they aren't required
There is this little blonde dude from Arizona. He is a hairdresser, he says he is straight, but he gets jealous when the gay guy brings over other guys, he steals prescription drugs, jumps the walls at night to go get drugs. He cooked a fish right out of the aquarium and ate it. he is a real philly type guy. That is what being confined in small spaces get ya. A looney trip. Makes you start watching kooky shows liek Miami vice and start wearing glasses even though you can see
