Starring: David Andrews, Yancy Butler and S. Epatha Merkerson

A cop show set in the future with Detective Bobby Mann (David Andrews) assigned to a cyborg in Sergeant Eve Edison (YB) under the command of Lieutenant Claghorn (S Epatha Merkerson). Better than average sci-fi fare with standard cop show plots given a futuristic twist by the methods Eve employs to solve them. Mann tries to teach super-intelligent, super-strong and basically indestructible Eve how to be more human with varying degrees of success - some standout moments were when Bobby and Eve are in the car singing "My Boyfriend's Back" and when Eve, trying to help Bobby who's suffering from insomnia get some sleep, propositions him. An added bonus is that Mark Mothersbaugh did the music (this amounts to personal taste I guess ;). It was created by Robert De Laurentis and Dick Wolf (who also paired together for South Beach).

M&M is repeated every so often in the US on the Sci-Fi Channel.
