It's amazing what you notice about older media that would have gone right over your head 20 years ago.

Miami Vice seems like a very conservative show by today's standards, until you really look at some of the things it pushed like tolerance for gays and racial issues. Back then it was actually very progressive, but it is entertaining enough that unless you know what to look for it just slips right by. Today's shows aren't entertaining, so the propaganda sticks out like a sore thumb.
