There was a show in 1988 and 89 (cancelled before it’s first full season ended) where Tim Daly played I think a DJ or radio programmer. At least for the first few shows each episode featured a song that worked into the plot or Daly’s character’s recollection of a certain period in his life. I recall Elvis Costello’s “Accidents Will Happen” in maybe the first episode and in another episode a song by the Del Fuegos that I can’t recall. According to Wikipedia the show was the first show created by David Chase (later famous for the Sopranos among other shows) and while it got some positive critical reviews it wasn’t popular enough for the network to keep it on the air. Hard to remember much about the show at this point but I thought it was a cool musical hook to work into a TV show.
