YMMV / Wiseguy

• Awesome Music:
  • "Nights in White Satin" playing on the jukebox at the conclusion of the Sonny Steelgrave arc.
  • Also, one of the best themes ever by Mike Post (which is saying something). Was given a Latin upgrade in season 4. Sounds like a variation of his theme to L.A. Law.
• Moment of Awesome: Frank McPike has several of these, such as his Deadpan Snarker comments while being tortured by Mafia thugs, and his facing down an eccentric billionaire with a rocket launcher, armed with only a snubnosed .38 pistol.
• Replacement Scrappy: Steven Bauer as Michael Santana. The arrival of Santana to replace Ken Wahl's Vinnie Terranova saw the show's ratings drop to unacceptable levels, as fans simply weren't used to a Wiseguy without Vinnie. Eventually, the fourth season with Santana as the lead character was cancelled abruptly, with the OCB disbanded due to federal budget cuts.
