I've got a petition going and will be regularly emailing Fox for a good reason why we can't get this great show on DVD! Here's the petition link: www.petitiononline.com/mod_perl/signed.cgi?bpdondvdSadly my memory of it is fading - I rely on friends to remind me of the great bits. How sad is that? And all the time, Fox have got the tapes somewhere, gathering dust. Since axing this Fox have discovered the power of DVD to bring back shows - like Family Guy - so if they released this it might not only be a success, but it might be successful enough to warrant a new series! Come on Fox! You won't even have to do any advertising, the whole internet word-of-mouth thing will sell thousands of copies.

I liked this show a lot - we got the first and only, it would appear, series in the UK on channel 4. The characterisation was right on the money - a bit like the Simpsons in that all the different facets of small town populace were represented.There was no laughter track - I hadn't seen this on an American TV comedy at the time except for on Larry Sanders and it really worked well here, heightening the suggestion that these wacky cops were really like that, and not just hamming it up for the cameras.All in all, a quirky little number that tickled me just right: I can't help but think that maybe it missed it's mark with certain audiences. I think it would have been a cult hit in the UK had it been shown at an acceptable hour.I'll round this off with my standard comment: Where the hell can I get hold of this to watch it again? Any ideas?

This was a great series! Really subtle but intelligent police comedy, a black cop trying to fit into a white police force assigned to a partner who was white but believed he was black. Sounds a cliché if sorts but it really worked so well!
Both Ron Eldard and Giancarlo Esposito layed the leads superbly.
To the company who owns the rights... ....please release this on DVD asap! If this never gets released it will be an injustice!Thanks.

I remember when good old Ch4 had an eye for the obscure, sometimes a winner, sometimes, not, but after watching the very first episode of this "quirky", absurd and very funny series, I was hooked (as were friends when told to watch it!). All the ingredients were there for a fantastic winner, sharp & very funny script, excellent acting from everyone (I can remember) brilliant comedic timing and to be "based" in a place that is really in the middle of nowhere, no wonder the locals were a bit troppo. When it ended on tv, I looked forward to the new series - but, I was truly upset and angry when I read that the whole series had been axed - when you see the dross that decorates our screens, and such a brilliant series axed, perhaps it was ahead of its time. I had hoped that Ch 4 would repeat it so I could tape the whole series, alas not to be .... a loss.
