Released: 1993
Why's it part of the "Rome, Italian Style" playlist?: I love this '60s spy score-style tune by Shadowy Men on a Shadowy Planet, the now-defunct instrumental rock band best known for composing the Kids in the Hall theme tune "Having an Average Weekend" and declaring that "We're Not a Fucking Surf Band."
In his series of season-by-season reviews of Star Trek: The Next Generation on DVD, blogger SamuraiFrog says he always wanted to see a Trek TV spinoff that was set at Starfleet Academy. On a similar note, I always wanted to see someone create a show about spy school, although the USA show Covert Affairs is kind of fulfilling that function, but with the field serving as the new classroom for its inexperienced but plucky heroine Annie, who was pulled out early from the CIA's "Farm" and immediately promoted to field work.
