    No, this is currently on the air... as in, first run on a major network - NOT "being shown in syndication at an ungodly hour of the morning on some obscure cable channel"

    Hint time. One of the two leading men in the show was in Serenity. His character there was as much of a geek as his character in this show.

    The other male lead doesn't always play geeks, and his character here isn't tape-on-the-glasses worthy, but he's hardly a studmuffin, either.

    you got it, kuemper. why don't you like the show? It's not one of my favorites, but I do look forward to it each week. I've enver been a big fan of Judd Hirsch, but as an old curmudgeon he works.

    It's just so contrived in its plots and over-explains everything.

    A lady cop fights crime.

    L&O:SVU?

    It's an ensemble cast, but Olivia really is the star.

    This show was based on the real life story of a very sucessful cop who had never fired his weapon in the line of duty.

    ATM, the only one I can think of is The Andy Griffith Show (or Mayberry RFD). I'm sure it's not based on real life.

    Hint: The actor in the TV series did not like the long hours necessary for a TV series and quit after the first year. The producers quickly shifted gears to make a series 'a lot like' the hit original series, but changed the cast and made the character 'loosely' based of the RL cop. The second series starred Robert Blake and was called Baretta.

    The series starred Tony Musante (until he wimped out).

    OK, so nobody else remembers Toma. The actual NJ detective used to play bit parts in the series ala Hitchcock style.

    New Series:

    Eunice, a quick tug on the ear, wearing a curtain rod, and Jim Nabors in every season opener.

    Edit: Oops, can't forget the Tarzan yell.
