Anyone know which episode this was and if I can download it? For some reason me and my friend always joke about this episode.

Yeah, Mike gets on this TV show called NY Heat as a cop who gets killed in the line of duty. He is thrilled about it because he is working with this star but ends up getting screwed in several ways:
1. His lines are all cut, so he is only coughing.
2. He is credited as Coughing Boy.
3. They spell his last name wrong.

If I was him, I would've contacted the show to correct the last mistake and if they didn't, I'd take legal action against the *beep*

But the show had already aired. His name wasn't going to appear again.

Well, couldn't they have told the producers to correct the credit for the future airings?

The episode was called "Coughing Boy" and aired November 1, 1989. It was from season five of the show, which very well may have arguably been the best of the series.

It definitely was one of the best. Season five was one of the best seasons, and had a lot of memorable episodes.
