Cop Rock
« on: August 15, 2009, 07:36:29 AM »
A bizarre early-90s TV crime drama where the actors would burst into song. Needless to say, it was not a riotous success.

I can't imagine why it didn't catch on!  ;D

Most of them look like they're about ready to burst out laughing.

When you think about it, the concept isn't much different from musicals.

Easy there, Bryan... the "system" is what allows you to hold those views...  :o

I recommend an old bass, taken 3 times a day, and played violently (preferably with friends of a consenting age, not necessarily of the same gender)... if the problem persists, strip the instrument, respray in something garish and LOUD, allow to dry, reassemble, then repeat original prescription... that should see you back to normal in no time...  ;)

I know this may be quite shocking if it has not crossed the water, but...



This is called "selling your soul..."

It happens...  :sad:

I think that happened the moment the Sex Pistols signed with EMI. Johnny always wanted money and fame, he's never made a secret of that. He's smart and funny enough to pull it off.
