It was created by Leo Benvenuti, Steve Rudnick and Damon Wayans and directed by John P.

[1] Two brothers, one a bachelor and undercover detective, the other a married rent-a-cop, are reunited in Chicago.

Things come easily to Damon, a clever but politically incorrect undercover cop.

His older brother Bernard is a rent-a-cop home security officer who longs to be the real thing.

Down at the precinct, Captain Carol Czynencko is Damon's hard-as-nails boss who is trying to get in touch with her sensitive side; Stacy Phillips is a strong career-driven Latina who has a "no dating cops" rule; Carrol Fontain is a hypochondriac who makes his co-workers cringe with graphic descriptions of his problems; Jimmy Tortone is a Cuban con-artist who walks a fine line between shady and legit; and Billy McCarthy is a gung-ho, gullible new kid in the department who falls prey to everyone's practical jokes.
