Trivia:
In the episode, "Let All the Children Boogie" Rocket Girl's father says that he lost his daughter to music when his wife brought home a Beatles 45, noting, "'Love me do I think it was.'" This is a line taken from the song "Shooting Star" by Bad Company in which the main character becomes infatuated with music after hearing the exact same song.

I was a huge fan of 60's and 70's cop shows and this show has captured the feel of those.
I graduated high school in 1974 so the nostalgia of this show is also probably a factor in my enjoyment of it. Love the clothes the cars the music.
I never saw the British version of the show so I don't have that to compare it to but I really enjoy this show and the whole retro feel it has.
Now it is telling me my submission doesn't have enough lines so I have to add some more.
OK- How about this- does anyone think the set for the detectives office looks like the one from Cagney and Lacey?
