Just wanted to comment about tiling etc..I have issues playing season 2 on my portable DVD player and also on the DVD drive in my laptop using Nero. At first I thought I had a bad disk but once I put it in a cheap standalone player it was perfect. Not sure why, maybe some of you video decoding folks can comment.
As for the shows they are great.

The episodes look great, but that's it, you get the episodes... no interesting extras... no commentaries on anything by anybody. And the main reason I usually buy DVDs because I love to listen to the commentaries... Any show I'm interested in keeping I already have recorded on videotape... and I always had top of the line equipment and made sure my cable company gave me clear pictures. So hence, if all a company is going to do is give me clear copies of the episodes, I'm not usually interested. So why then did I get this one and why will I get the rest of the series? Because my copies are on Beta and everyone knows that Sony let down all its Beta consumers and you can't get the machines fixed any more. So I bought the DVDs for seasons 1 and 2 here. But had these episodes been on the VHS tapes I now record on... if all you are going to give me is the episodes, then thank you very much, I'll save my money.
So, studios, if you want to have my money, think in terms of shelling out a bit yourself and get me something new to look at with my favorite episodes, something to justify spending more money. Or you can hope, I recorded your TV show on Beta and not VHS.

I was never into this show in the 80's, I might have caught it a few times, but was never into it, but now I'm hooked! I have to say, the 2 hour (Season Premiere) episodes (Pilot-Season 1 & The Prodigal Son-Season 2) are the best episodes I've seen yet.
They're like a movie rather than an episode. I would like to say though, I am glad that this show was put onto dvd and that they are in 5.1 Dolby, but you can't tell me this is the best picture quality that they could do?! I mean the picture does look good, so I don't want to discourage anyone from buying it. But I just recently got Miami Vice Seasons 1-2, and the first 2 seasons of Macgyver, and by far Miami Vice is better, but only cuz it has a teeny bit better picture quality and it has 5.1 Dolby.
The picture on MV still looks grainy, and you see pops and crackles like when you're in the movie theatre, and to me at times it looks bad. I would probably be first in line to fork out another 50 bucks to get a remastered version of this, but I mean come on, why not just release it remastered and get it right the first time? why? MONEY! they'll release a half quality version to see if it sells, and if and when it does, they'll go back and say HEY! THIS STUFF IS SELLING! so then they'll try to get some extras like the original cast doing interviews etc, and remaster it. I mean they remastered the audio, so how hard is it to clean up the picture?
But as for Macgyver, at times the picture quality is horrible, with the graininess, and pops and crackles on the screen, it makes the show look 30 years old. I've seen movies from the 60's, remastered look newer. And also Macgyver is only in Stereo, no 5.1 Dolby which sucks!
But I am almost done watching Season 2, I'm on the final disc (Side 1), and i'm trying not to watch it too much because once i'm done, who knows when Season 3 will be released. It took long enough with this one. But I am eagerly awaiting Season 3. I am sadly disappointed though, cuz I heard that Crockett's car gets blown up in season 2, and gets the White Ferrari, but then found out by some other reviewer that it's not until season 3!, so now I'll probably have to wait another year to see that, which sucks, so HURRY UP AND RELEASE SEASON 3 UNIVERSAL!
Anyway, I suggest that if anyone is a fan of 80's tv, or just a fan of a good cop/action/drama show then check this show out, you won't be disappointed!
One question though...WHY THE HECK DOES TUBBS ALWAYS MIX BUSINESS WITH PLEASURE? (He's always hitting on the witnesses, and trying to get into their pants...I thought he was in love with Pam Grier's character in New York? what a moron! hehe)

Miami Vice Season 2 is a great show, great episodes - BUT - The actual quality of the DVDs is terrible. I ordered the season from Australia only to find that many of the episodes pixilate, skip, or simply don't play at all! I have tried the DVDs on several Computer DVD drives and stand alone DVD players only to find the same problem. It is such a shame that a legendary show like Miami Vice is being authored so badly on DVD. You have been warned.
