How did Kyra Sedgewick NOT win an Emmy for her portrayal of Phil Collins?

Everybody who was somebody in the mid 1980s wanted to be in "Miami Vice". It was one of the coolest shows in TV history.

Miami Vice, Literally a series that was ahead of it's time. What an era. The nostalgia is real man. Been re-watching the entire series these past months, and what a time. Don't think any show can come close too it these days. Sad that the era, is long past. Iconic storyline, themes, instrumentals, characters and so much more. Truly, legendary. Amazing to see how much of an impact it had, and all these characters. Honestly my favorite, Phil Collins, a man that truly deserved to be here, and my icon for his work, and talent.

lol Don Johnson launching Isaac Hayes head first into the pinball machine is legendary...

[mmsiphonevinyls]

Phil Collins was a really good match for his episode. He nailed the sleazy British con persona to a t. Rarely have I wanted a MV villain to actually get away.

[juanoro-barcenas]

Lemmy from Motorhead would've been perfect as an Arms Dealer.

[JunkTapes]

The one rock star Miami Vice never got who epitomizes the 80s and would have made a great villain on the show: Robert Palmer.

Leonard Cohen speaking french dressed in black ! omg ..i love him

[sonicboomg]

The episode w/ the nuge was always one of my favorites.

[freedomring]

Kyra Sedgewick did a great job as Phil Collins

[giant_joe]

The most amazing appearance by far is Miles Davis. That's rare man.

[michaelmcdonald]

John Diehl from MV is married to Julie Christensen, one of Leonard Cohen’s back up singers. They’re friends of mine here in Nashville.

[BAFICI]

I like how Frank Zappa not only delivers a long speech, but also manages to slip in something about ''the business of WEASEL dust''. That's code language for we FZ fans 😎😎😎

[kurttuchscherer]

There is no more iconic voice in rock and roll then the voice of C. Montgomery Burns.

[clarissawestbrook]

Miami Vice was a great platform for once relatively unknown actors and actresses, up and coming actors and actresses and well known musicians and actors. What an amazing series! #MiamiViceforever #80sforever 🌴🌴🌴🌴🌊🌊🌊🌊

[ericthom]

Gene Simmons was always a good villain. He had the look and attitude down pat

[beandipcartography]

This is actually literally the most iconic thing ever.

[nitzerbep]

Leonard Cohen kills it! So convincing!! 😎😢👍

[VAmericanMuscleCar]

The one and only, Frank Zappa!
The best show ever!

Of the Rock and Pop stars that appeared on MV, I quite liked Glenn Frey in Season 1 "Smugglers Blues." Phil Collins "Phil the Shill." In Season 2 aswell as Frank Zappa also Season 2 "Payback." and Willie Nelson in Season 3.
