I’m watching a rerun of Miami Vice. I’m excited to learn that Rico Tubbs (Philip Michael Thomas) is a vegetarian! So out there for the 1980s! Today I’m sure he’d be a vegan. 
(Can you tell there’s been no mention of animal testing in any popular culture lately? I’m grasping at straws here.)
I’m also amazed to realize what I once thought was cutting edge fashion is aqua sleeveless shirts matched to aqua shoes. Seriously. On a police officer. This screen capture does not do this outfit justice:
This episode is also quite amazing because it includes both a very young Nathan Lane, and a very young James Remar. Just . . . wow.

Oh, so the character was a vegetarian? That is weird. I am surprised that men didn’t get all huffy for the fact that a strong male character (police officer) was a vegetarian, yeah, that is pretty odd indeed.

Yeah, isn’t that AMAZING? I can’t think of any other show actually since the 1980s that had a strong male character who is a vegetarian. Really. Not one.

Hey Emily, I’m giving away free soap this week. Stop on by!
Tubbs was a vegetarian eh? Nice…his complexion did always look quite stunning and clear.

Free soap? How excellent! Ha, you’re quite right, Tubbs DID always have great skin.
