Make it a musical ala "Cop Rock" and we could get the cancellation down to 2
eps in.

I call dibs on a rendition of "Total Eclipse of the Heart" to be sung by the
Ruedy character.

The police station underling, Lars, is welcome to hum "Brazil" in the
background of a scene that inevitably ends up on the cutting room floor -
but of course eventually ends up in the DVD box set's[2] "Deleted Scenes"
section.

[2] The massive sales of which lead to a feature film starring Russell Crowe
as Ruedy, Orlando Bloom as Traff and the late Paul Lynde as Lars.
