TV Show "COPS" coming back
Fans of the hit show, COPS, rejoice --- the 32-season documentary reality legal program that aired on FOX in March of 1989 and wrapped in 2020 on the Paramount Network (formerly Spike TV) has been greenlit to return to Fox Nation this Fall.

The series, which will see its revival with a Season 33 this October, follows city police officers across the country during patrol, calls for service, and other police activities. The show has also featured both state and federal agencies, including U.S. Customs and Border Protection and the United States Marshals Service.

Fox Nation, the streaming service complement to Fox News Channel, has announced it will inherit the rights to the series after it was canceled in the wake of the George Floyd protests. Fans will be able to catch up on the latest season before watching the new, 33rd installment. The 8-episode revival season is slated to air on Friday, October 1, with Fox Nation releasing four episodes for fans to binge. Each Friday thereafter, an additional episode will be released until Friday, October 29.

In making the announcement, Fox Nation President Jason Klarman said, "COPS is one of the most iconic brands on television with an incredibly passionate fan base. We wanted to show our appreciation to all first responders by combining the launch with a free one-year subscription to give back in a small way to those who place their lives on the line every day to keep us safe."

COPS is the recipient of four primetime Emmy nominations. In 1993, it earned the American Television Award for Best Reality-Based Program. Sign up on Fox Nation to watch the reboot this October.

Active First Responders currently working as Police, EMS, or firefighters can enjoy one year of Fox Nation content for free! Click here to get your free Fox Nation subscription today.

I fully expect the BLM Movement communists to go all out on an attempt to cancel the series again. Terrorist threats/acts were effective during the immediate aftermath of Floyd's death and I have no doubt they'll be employed again. I hope FOX is up to standing firm against them.

Once again, greed outweighs common sense. It's going to be one of two things: It's going to be phony as shit, or it's going to be a disaster.

But, hey, there's a dime to be made, so, here come the whores.

I only watched COPS a few times, but I especially liked it when a big cop would take down a perp, then the camera would cut away and when it came back a small female cop was making the bust.

Saw the same thing on some show years ago about prison guards. Females would step back and the males would do the take down.

What a farce.

100% scripted. I gave up when they aired the episode where the one-legged cop wearing all his gear chased down and captured an 'urban' youth wearing shorts, t shirt, and sneakers.

I bet they'll only arrest white folk.

I really enjoyed COPS, one of the very few TV shows I watched.

They only showed the pinch. No paperwork. No booking. No babysitting your customer in the ER. No meetings with the prosecutor or multiple court appearances.
So... Unrealistic for me.
