High Incident - Die Cops von El Camino

This will always be one of my favorite shows. I only wished I could have seen more than two seasons worth of this masterpiece. The only reason this show did not survive is the fact that there are millions of idiots who watched the awful show "Friends." I am glad to see that the majority of the cast have went on to bigger things and best of luck to them. How could ABC leave us with such a huge cliffhanger? Is Officer Mike Rhoades going to awake from his coma? Would Officer Len Guyer being paralized after a gun shot a misdiagnosis? Please, Spielberg, make a movie with the very same characters of this series.

I lost all faith in television since High Incident was dropped. I cant say enough good about it. From the first episode when Len's partner and best friend is

gunned down ( I almost broke down when I saw that ) all the way to the "final" bank robbery scene. The bright side, if any, is that it might be making it to DVD soon, and yes, part 2 of the bank robbery was shot.

By the way, Officer Marsh gets my vote for "Badass Cop of All-Time"!!!

I have it from an inside source the reason the series was canceled was because Eisner and Katzenberg were having a pissing contest. Katzenberg at the time was suing Eisner (Disney) for money he felt he was owed while working at Disney. The series was being reported as picked up in all the tabloids. On the weekend that the season line-up was to be announced, in NYC, Eisner dropped 'High Incident' from the list at the very last minute, without any warning, so nobody could do anything about it.

I was told that Spielberg had said that if he'd known that this could possibly have happened he would have been in New York that weekend. A couple of years later when 'Schindler's List' was to premiere on network TV Spielberg pulled it from ABC and gave it to a different network.

Spielberg got some measure of revenge. Katzenberg got his money. Eisner got to throw his power around. The people who really paid were the cast, the crew and the fans who loved the show.

"High Incident" is one of the best police dramas i have seen and believe me I have seen a lot. The emphasis of this show was not the action, but the drama. This doesn't mean there isn't enough action. There is a lot of action to be enjoyed. But when you see the cops at work, you get involved with the characters and sometimes you will hate them, just as real life. The acting is excellent. I cannot understand that a show this great can be cancelled after two seasons, while a c****y show like "Walker, Texas Ranger" can go on and on and on. "High Incident" must come back.

I could not believe that this one ended the way it did. This show was one of the only redeeming things about television while it was on. The actors meshed well and it blended nicely the humor and seriousness it was portraying. I was in disbelief when I heard it wouldn't be back after the second season. This is a show that should NOT have been taken off TV because it was good, and when shows like the Nanny can be on for like 8 seasons or whatever this one deserved more than it got. One of the best TV shows ever.
