| - Several extremely obvious Continuity Goofs occurred during Miami Vice's original network run, brought about not by oversights in the production of individual episodes but as a result of the studio tampering with the order in which those episodes were broadcast. The modification of the order of a television programme's season by the studio was a fairly common practice, particularly prior to the 1990s.

However, as many television series from the 1980s and earlier contained little in the way of overreaching plots that crossed multiple episodes, studios often made these changes with little research as to their consequences. Their often brazen alterations to the broadcast schedule meant several notable continuity errors appeared in Miami Vice, many of them painfully obvious to anyone watching the show in the supposedly "correct" broadcast order.
