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!

Are you thinking of Outsiders?

It was The Insiders

No no... it was Zoom.

That's it! Man was this show lame. Anyone know the name of the Phil Collins song that started the show?

It's actually a Genesis song, from their album Genesis.

The name of the song is Just A Job To Do.

You my friend are king of kings. Pun intended.

is the weak miami vice ripoff show called Cop Rock?

No no no, Cop Rock was the animated show featuring Doogie Howser as the voice of a fish.

You're thinking of Nightmare Cafe.

You're kidding me, right?

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

Yes.

Making Fish Police jokes, you go boy.

Plus there was always "Riptide" -- Miami Vice with a comic relief robot

Wrong. That was Sonny Spoon.

I thought it was Mac and C.H.E.E.S.E.? ;)

OK, now you're just being difficult. :mad:

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)

What the hell are you talking about? That's from The Misfits of Science.

Robbery Homicide Division...pretty good, too.
