There was a comedy police show in America in the 80s called Sledge Hammer that was so timely and cliche I loved every minute of it! My friends and I cried when they cancelled it. I hope you got it in England. If only they made TV that BAD still!
Oh yes! I loved that. It sent up all the cop shows/Dirty Harry type films brilliantly.
And on the same theme, Police Squad was a flop as a TV series, though the Naked Gun films rather made up it
