Skoorb I agree... my friend tried to tell me it was funny once... I wasn't sure how to tell him without offending him I thought it was easily one of the worst shows ever produced!

I couldn't agree more!!

Maybe you should put that pinpoint accuracy to use on the people that let that crap on TV, Skoorb. ;)

Ugh, I had to IMDB that...horrible.

"In what must have been one of the shortest lived series on network television, "Cop Rock" was part "Real Stories of the Highway Patrol" and part "Sound of Music". After chasing down a criminal, the force would take to the street for an organized dance number, then haul the guy back to HQ. This may have been the only series to have been based on a broadway musical format."

:vomit;

Nope. Cop Rock was worse.
Never heard of that. Thank God :)

Yep an ABC musical. All I remember is one number where the cuffed a perp, and promptly broke into song - something like "You're going to jail."

Inspired.

Crank Yankers doesn't even come close. It is not even in the same galaxy. It is not even the worst show on now.

DUDE!!! I only saw that show once, for a few minutes, and that was the EXACT seen I saw! AWESOME. I agree with your entire point, too.

Crank Yankers is funny the way an internet clip is funny. Once in a while one skit is funny, but most of it is drek.

It's hard to say for sure.
I mean... it sucks so bad that I never watched more than 5 minutes of it.
Ditto dozens of other crappy shows.

It wouldn't be fair to make a comparison based on just 5 minutes here and there....
