I remember this show back in the early 1990s. To be honest, I didn't watch it because I had heard negative things about it. One of the things going for it is that Randy Newman contributed original material to the series (as well as singing its theme song). Review: 'Cop Rock' Revisited |

I think that New York Times article did a very perceptive job as to showing why Cop Rock was so far ahead of its time back in 1990, and why it only lasted for eleven episodes. The idea of a TV police drama as a quasi-Broadway musical, both on paper and as an actual on-the-air concept, probably would never have worked because it just looked ludicrous--at least at that time.
