This was in the first TMNT movie, but in NYC.
Alien Nation
The characters had to race across the country, iirc the organizers of the race all had something to compel each driver to stay in the race.
It aired on a holiday weekend and they showed the fort two or three episodes like 3 or 4 times over the weekend and said they were going to cancel it because each time they aired the episodes viewership was less and less… well duh it was the same couple episodes over and over. I do not think episode 4 ever aired.
The racism and sexism in TOS has been an issue for us watching it. It is much more mild than other shows of its time, but it is still there. I also watched TOS as a small child and most of that stuff went over my head, but now watching it again in my 40s it really is cringeworthy. That said, I know there are a number of key episodes that should be watched, and I know some of these elements go away (or lessen) as the show progresses.
