There’s a show on IFC called [The Business](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Business_%28TV_series%29) which is in a similar vein. It’s not as nasty as I remember “Action” being but I think it’s pretty funny.

Thanks… too bad I don’t get IFC. If I see it as a DVD rental, I’ll check it out.

[QUOTE=WhyNot]  
While it’s not (I hope) short-lived, you need to know (yes NEED) that the brother in Wonderfalls is the lead in Pushing Daisies. If you haven’t seen it, you \*must \*catch up with us!

THANK YOU! I was trying to place him!

IMHO, **Knights of Prosperity** was the best new series of the 2006 season. Had some really excellent moments.

[Cop Rock by Steven Boccho](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0098772/plotsummary). I add this every time this topic is discussed. I loved the show.
