The most distracting thing about the series is the score for the episodes, which have no connection to the theme song, and generally don't relate to what is happening on-screen. Its liberal use of the pan-flute to convey suspense or action baffles me. The writing is, to me, not much different than the average episode of CHiPs or Hunter, but the scenery is pretty... too bad they didn't have HD cameras back then. As I understand it, Tahoe has become so built up with condos and mansions and Starbucks that some of those mountain views don't exist anymore.
