Curtis Armstrong with Gilbert Gottfried

 

Madrid, 1985. We were constantly being mistaken for one another so we developed an idea for a sitcom, starring us, called Thicker Than Water. We would play twin brothers: my character was a surgeon, his an NBC page. Nobody bit but it still makes me laugh. 💔💔💔 pic.twitter.com/VTOKzY8TWb

I really have covered most of the 70s and 80s private detective shows now. Only a couple left.

Mann & Machine

1992 NBC. Yancy Butler. I put one of these on at random this morning that had Curtis Armstrong guest starring in it and it has this line, "You don't have to know about chemistry or analogies to be a great cook. You just have to be from Louisiana." Which is true. Turns out the guy playing the partner cop is from Baton Rouge and went to LSU. David Andrews is his name. That pretty much made my day already. Even better that it was directed at Curtis Armstrong, who is playing a food writer in this ep., "Water, Water, Everywhere." In my original post on this show I wondered how many robot cop shows were made because this was compared with Holmes & Yoyo. 9 episodes.
