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. moreGoofs:
Continuity: The type of rifle that is in Sam's hands when it is kicked by his Dad changes. When he places it down when he goes to talk to his younger version on the boat it looks like a Ruger Mini 30. When he picks it up a minute later it has changed into a Ak-47 or SKS type of rifle, which is then kicked by his Dad and it seems to go over the side of the boat. That is a less expensive type of rifle, which may be why it was the one tossed into the water. moreFAQ

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?
