Real Stories of the Highway Patrol

What a good show! Want a bad "cop" type show? Read my pan of "Cop Rock". I'm about the only one who hated it. I compared it to "Evita". R.S.H.P was a winner. They need to bring it back. My favorite episode featured the inbred red necks who are partying with a live "Band" (who sounded like a cat stuck in a room full of rocking chairs). A few of the unibrow partiers power-brake a pickup truck on a wooden bridge on the property raising a cloud of white tire smoke. Mom calls the law. They show up and she explains what happened, and I quote, "They was spinnin' on the bridge, and set it afire!". Something about her accent and the way she said it just cracked me up! Wish someone had a copy of that one!

An excellent real-life show featuring the real exploits of police officers. While most of the show focussed on highway chases and pullovers, there were also such features as police officers making drug busts and foiling robberies. At the end, the host would always provide a safety tip (for driving or otherwise).

Man this was a great show, while not quite as exciting as COPS, it's pretty close, and they sure picked the perfect host for this show and seeing how long the bad guys might get if convicted was also a big plus, something that COPS should've done, I'll never forget the one when one guy who got arrested actually peed his pants.

It's a shame that this show isn't on television anymore but there's always COPS.

This is a reality TV series featuring true stories of the Highway Patrol. It shows real footage of officers in action.

The show covers a variety of cases from chasing down drug dealers to high-speed car chases. While it is interesting seeing officers on duty in action and hearing their viewpoints during their interviews, overall, the show is not as exciting or attention grabbing as other cop shows like Rescue 911. There isn't much urgency or suspense presented in each episode - just a mediocre case overview of cops chasing down criminals. The suspense and adrenaline just weren't there.

Grade C

I agree, this was a great show! I liked how they actually showed what happened to the people after they got busted. This was a sort of copycat show of COPS for a while, but I still really enjoyed it. It was on in South Florida for many years on WBFS 33. There was also a third show, I think in Jersey or New York somewhere that was in the same genre, it was pretty short lived though.

I am wondering why they don't come out with a DVD for these episodes, or at least make them cheap enough for some stations to pick these up. I would rather watch these than another re-run of Moesha or some crap like that.
