Looking for name of Genesis (PC?) Theme Song from 1980's TV show
j...@schmo.com
I'm looking for the name of a Genesis (PC?) Theme Song from 1980's TV
show. I believe there were two main characters, one black, one white.
Both characters were policemen (or something) and I believe the show
was set in the Western US (San Fran?).
I believe some lines were "Cause I've got a name, and I've got a
number...."
I know this is not much to go on , but any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Ed

Don't recall that show though...

Insiders or Outsiders, I think. The glamorizing of investigative reporters,
what a great idea.

I believe that would be "Just a Job to Do" from the 'Genesis' album of
around 83

description, it sounds like you're associating the tune with Phil's 2
appearances on the show Miami Vice.

opening and closing credits used the so "Just A Job To Do" but unfortunately
the power of Genesis couldn't will this show to life.
Here's what I remember. The show was on ABC in the States and was called
either "The Insiders" or something extremely similar. The show was about this
investigative newspaper reporter who dug up dirt on bad folks and either took
them down covertly or exposed them in the papers. His sidekick was an ex-con
who did some of the dirty work that he couldn't or something like that. If I
remember correctly the show didn't even last a full season. I think it was a
mid-season replacement and didn't even survive to the following season.

if you're shocked that anyone vaguely remembered the show, where did you
recall it from then ;-)

programme .. I never saw it really
You mislead everyone by quoting from "Just a job" which no-one would use for
a TV theme methinks.

No, the other posters were right. Just A Job was used as a theme for a
short-running US series some years back (the Outsiders) which was about an
investigative reporter with a more streetwise sidekick. It ran about one
season, I think. I remember that show, and the lead actor showed up in a few
more series in later years. Hmm, I may even have an episode on tape somewhere
in the piles of video tapes -- I like buddy series.

Opening theme: "Just A Job To Do" by Genesis.
What a great show, still can't believe it didn't last as long as it did.
