    VeteranLight I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.
    Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.
    Victor Field Admittedly most cop shows are unoriginal, but this one seemed like a parody of a cop show - and not the good kind of parody a la "Police Squad!" but one with all the cliches present and correct and trotted out like new. Black cop/white cop, one by-the-book and one wild and crazy, obligatory cute girlfriends, police captain one step away from lunacy thanks to their antics... it's all here, and it's all mind-rotting.Even the title - "L.A. Heat" - sounds like the kind of bad cop show people in TV shows or movies either watch or see being filmed. Steven Williams should have stuck with "The X-Files" or "21 Jump Street"; this is right down there with "T.J. Hooker" and "Dempsey and Makepeace" in the ranks of Cop Shows That Should Never Have Been Made.
    coverme6 Among all those who try to imitate the high-octane action andhumor of the "Lethal Weapon" films, by far the afternoon-TV copdrama "L.A. Heat" is the most successful. This show is almost acarbon copy of the hit movies that starred Mel Gibson and DannyGlover, because "L.A. Heat" is practically using the samecharacteristc format. You have two cops, black and white,ridding the city of Los Angeles of crime. The white cop is wackyand cool, while his African-American partner is more laid-backand careful in their jobs. Even though this show can be terribly cliched, "L.A. Heat"stands out as a really good show thanks to the rapid-fire actionand the excellent chemistry between the two leads, played byWolf Larson and Steven Williams. This show has so muchexplosions, car chases, and shoot-outs, it almost gives "LethalWeapon" a run for its money, almost as if the original has beenundone by the carbon copy. A discriminating viewer mightconsider "L.A. Heat" to be a bit hokey because of the manyoutrageous action sequences (cars flying up to 30ft in the airafter a collision, a whole building blowing up to smithereens).Reality basically has no call in this show, compared to othercop dramas like "NYPD Blue" or "Homicide," where outrageousoccurences barely happen in those shows! So, if you're in themood for good, mindless fun regarding a couple of cool cops,"L.A. He
    EricYu This show combines ever action movie stereotype and compacts it into one hour segments every afternoon, and it's the funniest show on afternoon tv because of it. Every episode is guaranteed to have a car chase and shootout. Witty one liners abound. While it is undeniably low brow entertainment, what else do you want, really? The show will amuse you, unless you are utterly humorless.
    dex-12 "L.A. Heat" is the most action-packed television series, and the most enjoyable of all not-too-realistic series, I've ever seen. Each episode is full of feature film-quality stunts. I've never seen so many cars flipped, rolled, or blown up on one series! This puts all other cop/detective shows to shame (in terms of adrenaline). Wolf Larson and Steven Williams are dynamite together, and I'd love to see a feature film version. Enjoy!
