LMAO.

A show about Cops in Miami who own 650,000 dollar boats, 2 million dollar houses and wear 5,000 dollar suits to work.

If the cops were corrupt, it might work. Make it a more gritty reboot about cops on the take. Lots of drugs, mafia, and cash.

The cinematography would have to be a character as well, to bring some style to the show that would be an updated substitute to the flash and pastels of the original. Maybe something more modern noir.

And the soundtrack would be important, too. It was a huge part of the original show, and pop stars of the day often made guest appearances as characters.

So I think it could be done, but it would have to be done with an updated spin. I have clearly given way too much thought to this.

That was the point though. They were posing as drug dealers as vice cops do. One of the earliest episodes was the department trying to get back Crockett's Ferrari and him bitching to his Lt. that he needs that to maintain cover.

The cops didn't actually own that stuff on the show. That was confiscated property that was used by the cops to establish their undercover identities as high rollers. But it was a tv show so why get caught up in the unrealistic details. Everything about that show was so far fetched it was almost pure fantasy.
