TV composer Mike Post recalls trying to talk Steven Bochco out of doing Cop Rock
Post -- who helped create the theme songs for Law & Order, The A-Team, The Rockford Files, NYPD Blue, Quantum Leap and Hill Street Blues -- remembered Bochco pitching him on the 1990 ABC singing cops series. "Don't" do it, Post recalls telling Bochco. "'No, Steven, I’m telling you this is too hard. This is too f*cking hard!' I said to him, 'America is not ready for the cops singing. They’re not ready for that.'" Reflecting on his work on Cop Rock, Post says: "It was a ballbuster, but in weird ways I was proud of it. People either loved it or hated it."

ALSO:

L.A. Law's Jill Eikenberry remembers Bochco supporting her when she was diagnosed with breast cancer after filming the pilot
Dick Wolf recalls meeting Bochco when he was 5 years old -- and working for him 30 years later on Hill Street Blues
Hill Street Blues star Daniel J. Travanti: "When he hugged you, it was like he was putting a cloak over you"
Blair Underwood recalls Bochco casting him in his first star vehicle, City of Angels, after L.A. Law
NYPD Blue's Bill Brochtrup says Bochco was ahead of his time in his portrayal of gay characters
NYPD Blue's Sharon Lawrence calls Bochco a champion for women: "When Steven saw that there weren’t enough females in the pilot, he shifted the gender"

I remember when this show first premiered on tv. Like most people, I couldn't get past the first episode. Recently I actually found some clips on YouTube and laughed out loud at how bad this show is, but I ordered the entire series on DVD. There's something very entertaining about watching this train wreck. Just when you think it can't get any worse, they do another song. LOL.
