jaguars4ever Posted February 14, 2006 Posted February 14, 2006 Presenting to you ladies & gents, one of the great unsune hero cartoons of 80's fame....C.O.P.S.! Central Orginization for Police Specialists, fighting crime in a future time. Protecting empire city against Big Boss and his evil gang of thugs. These are the C.O.P.S. Seriously, this show had it all. You want humor? They had jokers like Beserko and Big Boss. You want drama? They had stiffs like Baldwin P. Vess AKA "Bulletproof" and some random guy who's name I can't remember. You want sexy femme fatales? They had sassy chicks like Officer Tina 'Mainframe' Cassidy, Suzy 'Mirage' Young and Rafaella 'Nightshade' Diamond. And let's not forget the crazy antics of colorful villains like Turbo Tutone, Buttons McBoomBoom and Louie the Plumber! Ah, and then of course there was our naughty Ms. Demeanor... And for those of you unfortunate enough to have missed this butt rolicking fun during the late 80's, I think they re-released it as Cyber C.O.P.S. during the early 90's. And even then it held its own against juggernauts like CHIP N' Dale Rescue Rangers and DuckTales Anyway, let's not digress. This thread's about C.O.P.S, right? Did I mention how this show revolutionised cartoons in more ways than one? The head leader was like, yeah, a black guy! How cool was that? Other shows during the era had stereotypical white preppies running the show...but these guys had the balls to use a black guy! Good on them, but in truth I expected no less: These are the C.O.P.S. -"Freeze! We're crooks, and this is a stick-up!" -"Freeze! We're cops, and you're under arrest!" *GASP* Oh, n0es!1 It's crime-fighting time!
Moose Posted February 14, 2006 Posted February 14, 2006 Heh I remember COPS. Vaguely. The only episode I remember is one of them gets sacked from the force and then decides he'll catch some criminals to get rehired. Well he does, but the criminals are like: "Hah you can't arrest us, you're not a cop anymore!" To which he replies "Wrong! Citizens arrest!" Genius huh. There are none that are right, only strong of opinion. There are none that are wrong, only ignorant of facts
Pidesco Posted February 14, 2006 Posted February 14, 2006 I really liked this show when I was a kid. Ms. Demeanor was my favourite character. I think I used to the love the show's tune but I can't remember what it was like. Thundercats was better, though. "My hovercraft is full of eels!" - Hungarian tourist I am Dan Quayle of the Romans. I want to tattoo a map of the Netherlands on my nether lands. Heja Sverige!! Everyone should cuffawkle more. The wrench is your friend.
