Bakersfield P.D. (1993)
Why the Series was Cancelled
Yes, as I was born and bred in Bakersfield, I can safely say the series is ENTIRELY accurate, right down to the blue and white street corner signs. Bakersfield is a town similar to that of Cicely, AK (from "Northern Exposure"), and the quirky townsfolk are quick with a joke and an anecdote about Mark Twain.
The fact the series is so accurate (right down to the DC detective character) was its downfall: In late 1993, BPD Det. Peter "Petey" O'Callahan (who had, 15 months prior, moved from the Maryland/Washington DC area) was shot and killed during a raid upon a drug lab. In respect of him and his family, BPD was cancelled.

What an awful protocol: "HEY, KIDS, DON'T WRITE FOR *SUBSTANCE*, WRITE FOR SPACE! THEN WE CAN FILL A PAGE AND GET MORE ADVERTISING!" SCRUM IMDb and their profiteering.

No merde? Because of this ridiculousness, if I said IMDb changed from "profiteering" to "anal sex"...will IMDb invoke some crazy "sodomy" law to make sure "The Godfather" is Numero Uno on the Very Disturbed 250 list?
IMDb just doesn't get the Petes.
