What was the name of the Miami Vice knock off?
ABC (I think) had this horrible Miami Vice knock off that lasted less than a year. Does anyone remember the name? It also used to have a Phil Collins song play during the opening credits. What was the name of that song? This is driving me nuts!

It's actually a Genesis song, from their album Genesis.
The name of the song is Just A Job To Do.

Cop Rock was short-lived Steven Bochco show where cops, lawyers, juries and judges broke into song.

Hollywood Heat was an even-worse ripoff of Vice. I watched enough of it to remember that they used sound-alike pop songs instead of real songs, but I never saw a whole episode.
The Insiders was just a really dull show even though they copied the rain-drenched steets idea from Vice.

How about "Simon & Simon" or "Scarecrow and Mrs. King"? (shiver)
