I remembered this show from its original play in the 90s. The episodes were jarring but interesting in a train wreck tradition. And yet the show rattled around in my brain for thirty years. The humor was dark in a twisted SNL like parody. I could never tell if the writers were writing a serious cop drama or were just pulling my legs. Finally I was able to get my hands on a Shout Factory DVD and watch the show in 2022. I admit I am still nonplussed but I did enjoy the revisit and decided the show was a howl. Episode four featuring an overweight lieutenant trying to lose weight was hysterical in a really weird way as was the meeting between the mayor and chief of police. The show just needs an audience willing to suspend all belief and just chuckle at what they are watching.
