Called the original reality show, COPS hit the airwaves in 1989, putting camera crews in police cars all across the United States.

Adopting the Cinema Verité style of documentary filming, COPS uses no narration, depending completely on the police officers and the footage shot as it happens to tell the story.

Still one of the most popular television shows on the air, COPS continually wins its 8pm time slot Saturday nights on FOX.

COPS can also be seen in syndication on CourtTV and on the FX Cable Channel.less «

  A friend of mine was telling me about an episode of Cops he saw and it sounded hilarious. He described it as a cop chasing a guy on the side of the road. A pizza delivery guy pulled in front of the running guy and stopped him. The pizza delivery guy then peeled off and started speeding off in the other direction. I would really like to see it. Does anyone know what episode it was in? less «

• Why don't they notice the camera?

  How come the suspects never notice or even look at or into the camera?

  The original bad boy show. hide « show »

  This show continues to be a favorite. It gives a snapshot of what real cops have to deal with every day. Of course, we only get to see the exciting stuff. We don's see all the boring hours of mundane duty performed on an average shift.
  
  Police officers do a dangerous job in order to protect us ordinary citizens. Most cops are very honest, hard working people who deserve respect and thanks for what they do to keep society safe every day.
  
  This was the original cop show and still remains the best in my opinion. A good way to see into main stream america.

  8 Great

  This show was one of the original reality shows. hide « show »

  COPS!!! What can I say about this show??? I think that this is a good show. I think it is nice to see that in a world where so many crimes are commited and when it begins to look hopeless, there is a show that shows the "bad guys" getting what they deserve. And when they resist arrest or run away it gets worse. They get tackled, tased or bitten by a K9. Which in just about every case is exactly what they deserve. Thank you goes out to the FOX network for allowing COPS to stay on the air. Thanks also goes to the men and women of Law Enforcement for their valiant efforts to keep the citizens of the world safe. And allowing us to each week ride along and watch you do what you do.

  9.8 Superb

  this is about cops going around doing there job hide « show »

  I gave this show a 9.8 because this show cant get better. I been watching this show for a long time and try to watch it every saturday. Well i cant get enough of this show it is off the chain. I like when the people take off runing and the cops have to chase them down or when they dont get out of the car and the cops have to get them out of the car.I also like when the people act like they dont have any drugs but they really do its kind of funny. So bad boys bad boys what are you going to do? when the cops come for you! Love this show.

  10 Perfect

  Love it, can't get enough!! hide « show »

  From the theme song to the action packed chases who wouldn't be entertained. There are those out there that don't like it, well that's fine then don't watch. Me personally I love it. I'm proud of the good cops out there doing their best to keep us just a little safer. Puting their lives on the line to catch these criminals that don't care about hurting anyone to get away with breaking laws. Bravo to those cameramen on running with a heavy video camera and getting all that wonderful footage that never ceases to amaze me. I will always be a fan of this exciting show.
