Is the Miami Vice TV series no longer available on Roku?

Jump to solution

I was on vacation for two weeks and came home to find I can no longer get Miami Vice episodes on my smart TV through the Roku app. 
Previously, I could call it up and get season and episode listings. I made it to season 5. 
is this tv show no longer an option on Roku - and if not, who can I appeal to to bring  out back???

@MiamiVicefan 

The content on the various channels/app come and go and are licensed for a certain duration.

Currently available on AppleTV and Prime Video ($ per episode).

These shows do return, but sometimes takes months to return, unfortunately.

Yea, I was on my second season when Miami Vice disappeard. Bummer. It brought back some great memories on clothes and excellent old tunes.

I’m so bummed about this! Is there anyone or place to lobby for Roku to bring it back someday?

@MiamiVicefan  We may never know.  As was previously stated by @AvsGunnar, it takes months for TV shows to return to certain channels.  So the series will probably return in a few months or so.  I do remember when the series aired in syndication on Cozi TV, can’t clarify if Cozi still airs it or not, though.

I’m into videotapes and old electronics stuff, including extenders, converters and analog 4:3 TV sets (which are obsolete these days), and Miss Bianca is my favorite character in Disney’s The Rescuers (1977) and its sequel, The Rescuers Down Under (1990). I am not a Roku employee, only a user like you. ~ Jordan
