COP ROCK. No, it didn't work. No, it didn't last long. But at least it had original music.

Suck on this, GLEE-tards

It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.” ~ Muhammad Ali

And, at least eight years previously...bitchin' synth solos!

OK, so this is not a musical TV series, but I'm using this thread as an excuse to post this link:

madbrian- I LOVE that clip- I could watch it over and over! Anyway, I always get a kick out of when they take a regular drama and make one show that is all musical- and it's usually bad. Case in point- there was a musical Seventh Heaven episode that was so painfully bad it was laughable! Watching Ruthie try to sing was just, well, PAINFUL!

I do love Cop Rock, partly for the absurd stuff, partly for the awkwardness, but mostly because, every once in a while, it actually worked!

I love Kathleen Wilhoite! And, unless my ears deceive me, I think that's a Randy Newman song.

Yes, borstal...it's one of the few Newman songs I really like. He wrote it for his opera "Faust" and reused it here.

Wilhoite was the only one who came away unscathed by the direction or mis-direction of this show. Every one of her songs is wonderful in it and her story line was the only interesting one. I love this as well:

<3 Kathleen! She was one of my favorite additions to the Gilmore Girls cast.

Not only that, she was much too cool for 7th grade.
