Once Upon a Time: Arrested development

This week on Once: The Beast tries to win back Belle's heart by incarcerating her. (Hey, it worked last time!) Snow White learns that she's a terrible teacher, when the subject is anything other than making a birdhouse. The Evil Queen's kryptonite is finally revealed. And yet another sort-of villain is given a hasty partial redemption arc before meeting his untimely demise.

Cop Rock: The all-singing, all-dancing cops of the world

Aaaand then a drum machine kicks in, and the dealers and bystanders all perform a rap song while the cops just smirk and shake their heads like perps breaking out into an impromptu musical number while being arrested is a totally normal thing. Such is the world of Cop Rock, producer Steven Bochco’s ill-fated 1990 attempt to fuse the police drama and musical genres.
