    Well worth watching, the first couple of episodes are hilarious and pretty good all the way through.


    Just my kind of idiotic humour but If you don't like the first episode don't bother, it's the same thing for the whole series.

    Is this like the British series Touch of Cloth?

    I have to say, from the trailers it doesn't look nearly as good. Feels like they're forcing it too much.

    Its more dumb comedy in the police squad style I'd say. That seems weird to type as PS was gold but hope you get what I mean.

    Yeah definitely that style, though not on the same level as the police squad series. The naked gun films didn't come close to matching the series either though.

    It was alright. You could clearly see its trying to be an updated version of Police Squad.

    This too shall pass.

    Just watched the pilot. Great product placement ..! There are some subtle elements too, such as in the last scene: watch what happens when the other cop says "Tribeca, the lieutenant wants to see you".
    Tribeca and her partner turn around, the camera angle changes, and they both turn round *again*.
    :p

    You are the type of what the age is searching for, and what it is afraid it has found. I am so glad that you have never done anything, never carved a statue, or painted a picture, or produced anything outside of yourself! Life has been your art. You have set yourself to music. Your days are your sonnets.

    Nice surprise cameo on the Tribeca's Day Off episode. I presume the continuity errors are deliberate e.g. why go to the trouble of giving a golf course a fake name ("Hidden Valley") on the entrance, then leave the real name on the golf carts? The resort even advertises itself as a LA filming location. :cool:

    First half aired last night. Will watch the whole thing during the week.
    Don't know what's more surprising about this series: the fact it's still going or the lack of advertising.
