C.O.P.S.

The early 80s brought some of the coolest, most nostalgic.cartoons of any era, even if they were just massive campaigns to illegally sell stuff to kids. Anyway, we had the likes of Thundercats, He-Man, She-Ra, G. I. Joe and many more that set a template for the rest of the decade. However, the ideas started getting wilder and darker as people started running out of them.

We had monsters battling each other in the Earth's core, space cowboys (and space Texas Rangers!!), space hawks wrapped in silver, people that could turn into underwater creatures, and even people using dinosaurs for war! Honestly, this weird stuff sat better with me than any of the main stream properties people yammer on about these days. C. O. P. S. Happened to fall under this era for me.

I'm not surprised too many people remember this show, for it had a bizarre rebrand after the reality show Cops came out, but as people tries looking for the next best thing, it was just too damn weird for its own good (along with the other shows of the late 80s).

While this show is not iconic, it still had some fun voice casting and had some cool ideas about the future. Big Boss was a great bad guy, for he was incompetent enough to stay out of trouble but megalomaniacal enough to fail. It was a fun format. However, the variety of the characters was what made the show so cool. I mean they had a mustachioed cowboy on the show!

Hopefully this show won't be lost forever in The annals of cartoon history.

Of course you remember this one. "C.O.P.S. - Central Organization of Police Specialists. Fighting crime... in a future time. Protecting Empire City from Big Boss and his gang of crooks..." What a fun show this was! "It's crime fighting time!"

I remember watching cops when I was 6 years old, it was very interesting to watch and I always wanted their toys but my parents only bought me 1 doll.

I kept going to my neighbor seeing the toys he had of COPS, he had the helicopter and all the heros and villans.

I remember one episode where the bank building torn apart, I miss that show...

And one of the coolest cartoons of the 80s coming to youtube.I remember watching it as a kid but even now as na adult is good.It started with a a file presented by Bulletproof and ended with the cops solving the case.Highlight the ending crdits with the role call.A nostalgic trip back to our kid youth.

I remember watching C.O.P.S. and buying the toys and all that jazz. It was great! Very entertaining and interesting, a cops show designed for the Saturday morning set. I even remember friends debating a scene where they catch a criminal and he begins to cry, one friend wonders why and the other goes on about the conditions of living in prison. See this was my childhood OZ!
