Scene: ABC studios, the late 1980's. A group of executives brainstorms for the fall lineup.
Executive #1: Man, ok, listen, ok, I've got it. NBC has Law and Order, we need something different, something fresh and new. How about a...cop drama?
Executive #2 I love it! But wait, we need an edge, something new, and umm...edgy. Yeah. Yeah. Ok. How about a cop show set in space?
Executive #1: Love it, but our budget only allows for use of the old dragnet set.
Executive #2: Hey you know what was popular in the mid 1970's? Musicals! Remember Grease? People fuckin' love musicals.
Executive #1: A cop show as a musical! Brilliant!
Executive #2: Wow, Isn't it great we can do so much coke and still work?!
Born straight out of the 1990, for your viewing please, I present to you, "Cop Rock":
Here's your bonus Randy Newman, singing the theme song from "Cop Rock"
