When I was living in England about ten years ago, the BBC aired a trashtastic cop drama, 100% shot in Houston, called Miller and Mueller. Despite the fact that it was in English, I think the show was a German production. Anyway, the premise was an American cop named Miller was getting a divorce from his American wife, who was also a cop. For some reason he was sent to crack a case in Berlin, where he met a hottie cop named Mueller, who he married while he was over there. He brought her back, and confusion ensued when he discovered that he was still married to Mrs Miller. And then he got shot like 50 times while he was on a rusty tanker in the Ship Channel and tumbled overboard into that nasty water. (Somehow he survived that -- I think he was lingering near death in the hospital through most of the show's run.) So of course the brass at HPD decided then to make Mueller and Miller partners... It was terrible, but great location-spotting. Poe Elementary was in it -- for some reason pretending to be River Oaks Elem. That Mexican restaurant that was near Travis and the Pierce Elevated was in it too, but the main thing was that the director had a serious fetish for the skyline. It was in just about every shot that was filmed outdoors.
