C.O.P.S. Squadra anticrimine

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 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...

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.

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!

The one thing that I really liked about this cartoon was that the main character and leader of the C.O.P.S (Central Organization of Police Specialists) team (composed of whites) was a Black man. Most other team oriented cartoons always has one black character usually stereotypical and almost always not the leader (this cartoon being the exception). Now if only other cartoon writers/producers would follow that example and realize that not only white kids watch cartoons and minorities should be shown in strong leadership positions as well. Anyway besides having a positive and strong portrayal of a black male in a cartoon series, it had above average animation. The plots were standard children's cartoon material, which means little character development and conflicts which are resolved within a half hour. Not a bad cartoon and it's worth checking out at least once.
