People who liked the insanity of Profit should try the Mel Profit arc of WiseGuy. It's just as bizarre, in completely different ways.
Er, well, in mostly different ways.

More foot fetishism and incest, I suspect.

I know, right?! /not a fan of the L&O's and plethora of other police procedurals he did (that I saw).

Mike Post wrote the Hill Street Blues music. His work is sacred.

WiseGuy definitely had more foot fetishism. I think they're about even on incest. And sometimes Terranova's hair was almost as weird as Profit's, actually.
I still think Roger LoCocco should have had a spin-off. Oh, Roger.

I think they're about even on incest.

Loved that too! So wonderfully wrong.
I was thinking about Profit last night after we watched the commentary. One of the writers (I lost track of who was talking early on, except for Pasdar's lovely voice) mentioned, tongue in cheek, the hero's journey. It made me realize that Profit actually owed more to the old antagonist figure.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Everyone should watch Wiseguy regardless of their Profit-viewing status. (Frank! Frank McPike!)

Unfortunately, the music rights fiasco on the DVDs has made me hesitant to get them (how can you have the climax of the Sonny Steelgrave saga WITHOUT "Knights in White Satin"!?!??!?).
