COPS (Centre d'opération de police spéciale)

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.

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.

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!

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.

6/10

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.
