Has anyone heard of any other jokes on t.v. lately about Detroit?

I haven't watched TV in ages, but I remember once Hawkeye Pierce on
M*A*S*H* describing their unit's foul and roach-infested mess tent as "the Detroit of germs." I think that was an anachronism BTW -- in the Fifties Detroit was an attactive boomtown, not the way people see it now.
I believe Miami is actually the crime capital of the country right now. Is D.C. still the murder capital? Does anyone know?
