Odd show mixed a cop drama with musical numbers! For instance, at a trial the entire jury begins to get up and sing and dance; during a lineup all the guys dance and sing; a police officer sings about how much he loves his wife; the head of the police sings to all the officers to quit their b**chin...etc etc. I remember one powerful song where a black woman has a giant cross burned on her front lawn by (I think) racist jerks. She just stood there looking at it in anger and burst out singing. Sounds silly but it was powerful and worked!
I saw all 11 episodes and loved each one. I think this was just ahead of its time--too bizarre for 1990 audiences. The last show DID end it with the entire cast coming out, singing, saying it isn't over "till the fat lady sings" whereupon a heavy black woman descends from the ceiling belting out a song! It didn't always work--some people couldn't sing and not all the songs were good but a lot of fun overall. It's out on DVD and looks great :)
