Oh, god... the Cop Show. When I was growing up, that's literally all there was. Each with the recommended RDA of car chases per ep. Although none of those types have really died. Yet. They just get resurrected time after time in new faces and flavors.
Maybe it's just TV's infamous conservatism when it comes to new ideas that stifles anything that doesn't come off like a rehash of something else. I think it's only the launch of new networks in the last decade or so, of Fox and WB and made-for-cable series such as those on HBO, that finally kick-started any innovation. And now even those outlets are getting a bit lazy, I think...
