Alarm for Cobra 11: The Motorway Police (1996-2004)

Translated in English as Emergency for Cobra 11: The Autobahn Police, this series is like a crossbreed of ChiPs, Gone in 60 Seconds and The Fast and The Furious. Every week, viewers tune in by the truckload to watch some ridiculous villain try to kill people on the Autobahn, only for Turkish actor Erdogan Atalay and his cop buddy Rene Steinke to track down the evildoers and bring them to justice. One week it might be about cars exploding after filling their gas tanks because a dangerous criminal is blackmailing the oil company by adding an explosive substance to fuel, next week there might be a woman killing Ferrari drivers because she was once attacked by one. Then there's the ninjas killing people on the highway bridges. This is a series designed to appeal to the import-car brigade and boy does it ever. Our favorite element of the show is the delightfully fit Sandra Leonhard, who got very naked in an episode of the Tatort TV series. God bless her.
