The three best cop duos were all ten years behind each other. Starsky and Hutch in 1975, Miami Vice in 1985 and New York Undercover in 1995. No other cop duo has come close to these three to this day. Williams and Torres did an excellent job of blending in with the crowd by dressing the way the general public (or the criminals they were going after) dressed. Some folks over looked this and thought the two young cops were rappers. But any police officer can explain the term "UNDERCOVER" and it shouldn't be hard to figure out. Part of the reason the show was dropped is because Mike Delorenzo wanted to direct a few episodes but greedy Dick Wolf wouldn't let him and that led to Torres' character being killed off. Needless to say, if you take away a lead character the show doesn't have a chance. Picture Knight Rider without David Hasselhoff, Starsky & Hutch without Starsky or Hutch, Laverne & Shirley without Laverne or Shirley. New York Undercover could have lasted at least two more seasons if Dick Wolf knew the meaning of profit sharing.
