    An Honest Review

    Bad boys, bad boys, whatcha gonna...oh wait, wrong one.

    This was the cartoon and, if you were like me and 8 in 1988....this was the better show called COPS.

    Basically the premise is that there are special police that are cyborgs and all the criminals are cyborgs. And when you are 8 the good guys are led by that dude from Unsolved Mysteries...only African-American...and they are heroes because the police, the real police, are idiots that can't seem to catch the bad guys who are cybernetic and even dumber than the cops that keep letting them go, so they call in the C.O.P.S.

    And then the cyborg police destroy the city, engage in reckless chases, and open fire in public with their lazer guns all to catch the bad cyborgs.

    And it was AWESOME!!!! OK, maybe not Real Ghostbusters or Dinoryders awesome, but it was still awesome.

    Glory From My 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!

    Great show!

    When this show was on I watched it every time I could! I thought that the characters were really neat and all had great personalities. The animation in My opinion was crisp, clean, and really clear. Not to mention beautiful! Most of the characters in this show all have great personalities. in My opinion these characters are some of the best ever seen. In fact, The things that goes on in this series' cartoons are in My opinion action packed which that is what makes the show good. There are so many characters to like If you like the other 1980s' animated cartoons like M.A.S.K., Transformers, and others then I strongly recommend that you watch this show!

    Good for a quick memory or two, but that's about it.

    Of all the shows I watched as a kid, "C.O.P.S." definitely falls in the bland category; simplistic morality and cookie-cutter cops and robbers (complete with clichéd dialogue - everyone's "copper" this and "citizen" that) and the animation's surprisingly lazy. It's ideal for small children.

    Speaking of which, this is one hell of a toy commercial. Every character comes with just the right physique and gear to make for a kickass action figure. And that opening sequence is one tantalizing vehicle after another. Man, I still love the Ironsides unit (louvers!) and I always took to Long Arm (grappling hooks are cool).

    It doesn't do much for me now, but that classic '80s consumerism is on full display here.
