Just how many cop shows have there been, where the high concept is a human cop partnered with a extremely human android?

Off the top of my head...

1. Caves of Steel. Okay it's an Asimov book, but it's the prototype for everything that came afterward.

2. Future Cop (1976)

3. Holmes and Yoyo (1976)

4, (can't remember the name, but it was a TV pilot from Orion Pictures that I saw on Netflix) (198?)

4. Mann and Machine (1992)

5. Almost Human (2013)

Did I miss any?

Notably, with the exception of CoS, which is considered a sci-fi classic, and Almost Human, they all bombed within half a season. Can't blame Hollywood for persistence I guess...
