No love for Sledge Hammer! ? That show was great ( and terrible) because it was a complete farce spoof of all the other ‘serious’ cop dramas. It was just good comedy, not too heavy. Fun fact the female lead in that show Detective Dori was married to Michael Crighton for partsof 3 decades.

Here ya go:

Even its name is dumb: Bert D'Angelo/Superstar.

You had to be there, and if you tell me you were, you must have been asleep. Miami Vice wasn't a TV show- it was a movement.

Yes, truly horrible TV, a spin-off of BJ and the Bear, a show almost as stupid as Sheriff Lobo

Plus Lieutenant Castillo was a Samurai

I am with OP. I like Chuck Norris, but sometimes the show is unwatchable. There is nothing he cannot do on the show. He can ride a bull that no other pro bull rider can ride as well as take on a whole drug cartel single handed.

My wife likes the show, but sometimes I have to leave the room. Not sure what age group it was made for?

Had to be CHIPS. Watched in during the rerun cycle not long ago and thought "wow, this show really sucked". guess the bikes tended to deflect some of the stupidity. These guys always broke yet every episode they were flying, parasailing, scuba diving or some othger big money activity.

The recent remake was no better but at least they didn't take themselves too seriously in it.

Does "Diagnosis Murder" count? My goodness that show is horrendous.

My favorite Highway Patrol was the scene with a 58 Dodge cop car, this was about the time my parents had a 2dr ht Coronet. Peels out on loose sand and dirt, massive dust cloud and squealing tires.........

Can we count Scorpion as a cop show? The worst thing ever....

Cancelled thankfully.

The Mod Squad.

My guess is Quantico... Couldn't ever watch it though.

Car 54 where are you? IT Sucked big time! Here is a sample of the annoying intro:

Father Dowling Mysteries

Miami Vice was awesome, the guests the music the clothes etc.. its the reason I bought a S&W 3rd gen 4506.

quote:

The Mod Squad

One of the best comedies I have seen. Cops in bell bottoms and oversized Afros.

One problem I had with the A-Team was that those guys were ex-Green Berets, i.e. expert marksmen, and there wasn't a single gunshot wound for the entire series.

Macgruder and Loud

Wonder how many realized this..

The show was loosely based on creator Bud "Buddy" Ruskin's experiences in the late 1950s as a squad leader for young undercover narcotics cops, though it took almost 10 years after he wrote a script for the idea to be given the greenlight by ABC Television Studio

during that time frame I had a longtime friend on Vice down in Miami. He was quick to say the reality was nowhere close to the show. No boat. his car was a confiscated piece of crap. the hookers liked him. called him "blue eyes".

CSI, all of them.

It has every idiot who literally dropped 0.25 dollars in the line at Walmart convinced that we will find the person who "Stole" their quarter, and not only that, we will do so in 35 mins plus commercials...
