This was a fantastic piece of television history. I believe it would be safe to call it an early Sopranos. I know the plot is a different feel,but I guess to be fair, I would say a cross between the Sopranos and Miami Vice.I am sorry the Ken Wahl has not done anything else. Wouldn't it be cool if he guest starred on the Sopranos as an undercover cop? IT COULD HAPPEN!! I mean think about it, He could be part of a 5 or 6 episode arc, he infiltrates the "family" by becoming the Bada Bing manager and then he gets "whacked" when he is caught calling in to McPike. What a great cameo!! I mean com on, a piece of 80's history being intertwined with the sopranos, who would not like that?
