COPS: The Case of C.O.P.S. File #1 (Full story)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 май 2017
- COPS (Central Organization of Police Specialists) is an American animated television series released by DIC Entertainment (distributed by Claster Television) and Celebrity Home Entertainment (some VHS tapes went through Golden Book Video, though). This cartoon, which ran from 1988 to 1989, used the tag line: "Fighting crime in a future time, protecting Empire City from Big Boss and his gang of crooks". In 1993, the series was shown in reruns on CBS Saturday mornings as CyberCOPS, the name change due to the 1989 debut of the unrelated primetime reality show of the same name. The show was based on Hasbro's 1988 line of action figures called C.O.P.S 'N' Crooks.

I am 47 yrs old and I was cleaning up my case at my job and out of nowhere without provocation I started saying in a deep baritone voice "Fighting crime in a future time" It came out of nowhere.
I genuinely can't tell if this is satire or not
@@PhelesDragon it is not. This really happened.
😂 watched this show Sundays at 4pm.
And someone added: ITS CRIME FIGHTING TIME 😎
@@Mcgriffin67If "getting to the bottom of matters" is an understatement about your work, I would joke that you could RELATE to said premise of the series.
My god my childhood memories. I used to watch this every weekend
All those futuristic inventions and they still use pay phones ☺️ I used to love this. COPS, Turtles, Transformers, Thundercats, golden age of kid’s cartoons 👍
My favorite cartoon as a kid I still watch it to this day
Goddamn cartoons are sooo much better in the 80s. Hand drawn goodness.
This is Fuckin' Awesome. and I Totally Agree with You. :-D
Better that the crap today.
The character of Sgt. Colt “Mace” Edwards - A police sergeant who worked for the Philadelphia Police Department. He is known for his tactical strategies, his laser bazooka-like weapon called “Mazooka”, and his love for a femme fatale named Nightshade. Mace is representative of a S.W.A.T. officer.
he was my fav when i was little :D
With Mace having a love for Nightshade, I *still* feel that the crooks shouldn’t be *that* bad (after ‘The Case of the Lowest Crime’ - even Big Boss becomes horrified, at the thought of drug dealing; heck, not even the cops want his nephew, Berserko, to die). Said episode’s drug dealer - Addictem - is the worst villain in the show.
yeah buay
What? That federal agent gave up his body to fight crime! That’s dedication!
"It's crime-fighting time!" - I love that phrase
me too lol
Bulletproof was my favorite character. That brother used to give Big Boss hell!!
+Alden R. Davis, Me Too, Friend. Me too. :-D
Agreed
Agreed
truly one of the most badass cartoons ever made
I used to watch this show when I was a kid. It gave me so much inspiration and imagination. I guess that's why I'm making my own animation series on here.
Man, I miss cartoons like this.
I would have to agree with you.
Wow my child hood heroes, long live 80s cartoons
Mine Too, Friend. Mine Too. :-D
Too bad there was no crossover with other cartoons for COPS (Central Organization of Police Specialists) in the 80s. It would have been cool if Robocop made a guest appearance on this show or Batman Beyond.
that would absolutely super
I remember watching this as 9...10 year old am telling my mom I wanted to be a peace officer... memories 😎
I think this show is why i'm such a fan of crime drama today
Agreed
As I sit here half watching this, I realize the best thing about this wasn't the actual cartoon, it was the music and the voice acting. The background is flat and the drawings relatively simple, but the musicians playing the music is sooooo much better than the digitized crap used in cartoons today. There's no replacement for a live instrument and quality voice acting.
As an adult; this intro is hilarious. As a kid....it was the BEST!!
perfect nostalgia!!! cheers bro for the uploading!
Badass tv show back in the day, loved this show!
I Agree with You, That Fuckin' Police Cartoon Television Series is the Fuckin' Excellent! >:-D
Literally why dont they make cartoons like this of this quality any more😢
Simple. Costs too much.
Takes me back to my childhood, when I would watch this on Saturday mornings on CBS network & with a big bowl of Golden Graham's cereal
The show was rebroadcast on Saturday mornings on CBS back in 1993, it was renamed, “Cyber-C.O.P.S.”
@@AldenRDavisThat I Know 😅

Enters apartment without a warrant. Anything he finds is inadmissible.
The door was unlocked,no one answered, he might be able to argue probable cause.
@@foxbomber5 bro didn't knock or announce himself first, just walked straight in.
Might be able to argue criminal trespassing
They need to give this cartoon a reboot
+Lee, Agreed. Agreed. :-D
No, they’ll find some way to mess it up
@@rongeojohns7906 rebooters have been drinking
This show was renamed later as "Cyber Cops".
No!
Yesss!!! Holy hell, I thought this was a childhood fever dream I had!
We all know that C.O.P.S. also had a comic book adaptation by DC Comics, which had a much different storyline that was darker and edgier.
In the first issue, we learn that Big Boss blames Bulletproof for the imprisonment and death of his identical twin brother, so he has Rock Krusher blow up the 647th Precinct with Bulletproof inside.
After Bulletproof gets injured and is operated on, he decides to form the C.O.P.S. team to take the fight to Big Boss and his Crooks.
You see, Bulletproof and Big Boss respectively leading their armies just to get back at one another is just one big chain of revenge.
In the cartoon, they made it pretty clear: Bulletproof is the good guy, and Big Boss is the bad guy. But in the comic, things are a little murky, so you really can't blame either of them for wanting their revenge, and that's what makes the C.O.P.S. comic worlds apart from the cartoon.
I would love a modern, darker COPS. The problem with this show..it wasn't sure if it wanted to sell toys or have crossover grown-up appeal..so it only lasted one season and did neither.
They have the chance now...thanks to Netflix and the choice is theirs if they decide to comply.
Agreed
Agreed
Agreed
One of my favorite cartoons..The Case of the Stashed Cash is my favorite...used to have all the toys..I'm sick to see what they're worth today..
+Mike Lisle, I Totally Agree with You, Friend. I Love this Cartoon Series Too. :-D
I loved Bulletproof. He was my favorite character.🙏🙏👍👍
Me Fuckin' Too. :-D
Too bad cartoons like this don't exist anymore. A newer animated show I really enjoyed was Avengers EMH. That was great. Not a lot of thought goes into animation anymore
+O.S.I. Intelligence, Agreed. :-(
That avengers show made me a full marvel fan
Pretty sure cartoons like this were rare back in the 1980s: ones that didn't feel like toy commercials (though this did have a toyline). And the fact that the main character is black and the women on both the cops and crooks side are as close to being active characters as the 1980s will allow. It's not perfect, but I'll watch this over GI Joe.
love this show's opening theme music
Most underrated cartoon of the 80's. Graphics were 100x beter then M.A.S.K. or GI Joe. It was the future in many ways!!
Carl Macek one of the writers of this series has written a few things I've been enjoying lately, though what they are I just can't recall right now.
Oh, Hell Yes, I Really, Really, Really, Really Super Love this Cartoon Series so Much. :-D
The big boss' voice reminds me of when Dave Chapelle gets pulled up by the police haha.
It should, Dave's routine and Big Boss' voice are both parodies based on, if my age-damaged brain isn't wrong, a mobster from awhile back.
Yeah it's the stereotypical Mobster voice from old black & white films.
Berserko was a cheddar bob ass mofo!!
Actually, it's actor Edward G. Robinson they're imitating. He did do a lot of gangster films, including "Little Caesar."
Actor Edward G. Robinson is who they are mimicing
2023 this was my cartoon when I was a kid when cartoons was all we had
This is like the early RoboCop Cartoon!
17:27 Berzerko definitely would not survive the zombie apocolypse if you catch my drift!
Agreed. ;-D
A lot of the designs were created by Peter Chung of Aeon Flux (cartoon) fame.
FUCK I LOVED THIS SHOW WHEN I WAS A LITTLE BOY!
So do I, "It's crime-fighting time!"
Me Too, +GulfCoastSportsLLC. Me Too. :-D
This is Fuckin' Awesome! :-D
@@AldenRDavis I could remember putting off my newspaper route to watch this show after school.
@@kevp9601 I’m 44 and feel like a kid watching this again. Good times!
used to love this! :D FIGHTING CRIME IN THE FUTURRRE,,, BACK TO COPS!!
.
Cartoons made for kids were wilder back then,, now kids have softer stuff, like Paw Patrol.
Me Fuckin' Too! :-D
I discovered C.O.P.S. in the fall of 1988 when it was started syndicated weekdays. In Washington, D.C. C.O.P.S. aired on weekday afternoons at 4:00pm on WTTG Channel 5 and on at 3:00pm right after Gumby Adventures (later moved to 7:00am right after Yogi Bear and Friends (later replaced with Jem) and on 4:30pm right after Fun House) on WDCA Channel 20 at the same time. It was aired on WGN at 4:00pm right after G.I. Joe and before Fun House with J.D. Roth from 1988 to 1990, and again from 1992 to 1993 right after Hulk Hogan's Rock 'n' Wrestling and before The New 3 Stooges cartoon (the DiC repackaged version). After 2 years (seasons) and 1 year of reruns, C.O.P.S. left syndication. The show was syndicated in reruns on The Family Channel (now Freeform) as part of Fun Town, on CBS on Saturday Mornings as part of CBS Kid TV when it was renamed Cyber C.O.P.S. and also on USA Network as part of the USA Cartoon Express restoring its original title. I was glad when C.O.P.S. moved to CBS picking up and renaming as Cyber C.O.P.S. due to Fox's (local syndie stations, MyNetworkTV, The CW, The CW+, G4, truTV, Spike TV, CMT, Cloo, WGN America, Pluto TV, Paramount Network, Reelz, Fox Nation, Law & Crime, and now Fox Business's) Cops, becoming a weekly Saturday morning offering on on Saturday Mornings as part of CBS Kid TV in 1993 on affiliate WCSC Channel 5. Cyber C.O.P.S. ended after only 1 season less than a year. A Spanish-dubbed version of this show aired on Univision's Platavision/Chispavision block on Saturday mornings for about 1 year from September 17, 1990 to December 27, 1991 when it was taken off the lineup, replaced with another DIC-related show.
This is Awesome
God i miss those good old hand drawn cartoons, nothing can come close to them imo. I really despise the cgi cartoons we have nowadays, as an artist myself, i really wish we could had more hand drawn cartoons. They are so beautiful, so full of life, we can see the love the artists has put in when they were drawing them, which is completely missing in today’s cgi cartoons! Cgi cartoons are lifeless, empty, cold, they are nothing compared to hand drawn cartoons imo
Agreed
1:28 - "The facts have been kept secret, until now. You are about to witness the dramatic origin of the world's greatest crime-fighting team in the future of law enforcement: C.O.P.S. (Central Organization of Police Specialists). It all began when the notorious criminal underworld kingpin known as the "Big Boss" sent his henchmen out on a crime spree of high-tech robberies in Empire City. Here's how the caper came down."
Alden R. Davis this should have been the pilot episode.
+Alden R. Davis, I Totally, Totally Super Agree with You, New-RUclips-Friend-Forever-Until-I-Die-And-Go-To-Heaven-Forever-and-Always. :-D
@@jordanthomas7304 Yeah, it’s a wonder this wasn’t (which people in general would have expected it to be). Instead, the pilot episode was some random episode - ‘The Case of the Stuck-Up Blimp’. Likewise / similarly, the last episode (season finale) should have been ‘The Case of the Lowest Crime’, given that it shows the crooks showing niceness (where Big Boss could, inside himself, be feeling upset for all the things he’s done to the cops).
One of the Best Episodes ever seen !
+Khemt291223, I Totally Super Agree with You, New-RUclips-Friend. This is so Cool! :-D
@@kevp9601 80s Man !
I read something on radiodiscussions that was sourced from an TV Guide schedule from New York City, New York, that another episode of Cyber C.O.P.S. was aired on CBS on Saturday mornings late in the 1993-94 season as part of CBS Saturday on November 6, 1993 in New Hartford, Connecticut when they weren't showing All-New Dennis the Menace because they pre-empted.
For some reason, I used to feel slightly intimidated by Bulletproof's character. Maybe it was the deep voice and dark glasses that made him seem forbidding, even though he was a good guy...
This episode is missing from Tubi. Thanks for uploading.
I remember having this episode on VHS, and they showed an extended scene, where you see Bullseye, Sundown, Highway and Mace's recruitments.
Also, a few bloopers I noticed as a kid, Officer Brooks (Hardtop) refers to O'Mally as Longarm before the C.O.P.S team was formed, and Longarm later refereed to Brooks and Cassidy as Hardtop and Mainframe before they were given codenames when the building nearly falls on them.
22:41: Looks like a bra, Badvibes is a crossdresser? XD
I remember having your mom on VHS
Did the VHS have the Claster logo at the end?
Me Too
Me Too
i wanted to see the extended scene how Bullseye, Sundown, Highway got recruited.
A little bit of voice trivia for COPS BP Vest is voiced by none other then Ken Ryan who did all of the voice overs for the Global Television Network
Big Boss...voiced by none other than Inspector Gadget.
Now that I think about it,this episode reminds me of the opening parter to Darkwing Duck where there's a machine that can steal anything in a blink of an eye. The Ramrod and now the Ultimate Crime machine. Something tells me that Taurus Bullba might have been a part of Big Boss' domain at one point.
Muhd Wahid inspector gadget was Don Adams from the show Get Smart. He also did the voice of Tennessee Tuxedo in the 70's.
So in other words,if you ever want somebody to do the job...you got him to always be....hardboiled.
Agreed. :-D
Don’t get me wrong, I do like your comment (as it mentions Darkwing Duck), but Taurus Bulba would be a worse villain than Big Boss (and all of his crooks - Berserko, Turbo Tu-Tone, Rock Crusher, Louis the Plumber, Buttons McBoomBoom, Nightmare - the android, Hyena, Dr. Badvibes, Koo Koo, Bullit, Squeeky Kleen, Miss Demeanour and Nightshade), as Taurus Bulba’s (and the only Darkwing Duck villain as such) a ‘complete monster’ (which not even Big Boss, nor his 13 crooks - 11 male and 2 female - are, as seen in ‘The Case of the Lowest Crime’, as not even will Big Boss say yes to drugs, aware that they kill - even Big Boss and his crooks don’t like Addictem - the name of said episode’s drug dealer, who’s the worst ever COPS villain) [yes, Addictem even wants to kill the crooks, in said episode, by way of his drug dealing].
This is what they thought tech was going to be like in 2020 - two years from now - in 1989. LOL!
Still more accurate than the Jetsons. All we're really missing is robot helpers like Buzzbomb and Blitz, and public phones with Skype lol.
Public phones should make a comeback with that tech as an option
Just because YOU do not already have your chest blasters implanted yet or any of your other upgrades, doesn't mean the rest of us are missing out. You have robot helpers? Oh too bad, go get a roomba or ask siri for a tissue.
+Kay Klas, Agreed. :-D

I still wish I knew (and it seems to us fans of this show, who grew up with it, in the late 80s, up to 1994 - the last year it had reruns at am, in the summer, on ITV, and the last year shops had videos of this show) the answers to some of these mysteries, about this show, which always will be mysteries (there’ll never be answers) -
why (a member of the cops, and was a carded figure, in the Hasbro toy line) Automated Police Enforcement Systems (whose lone appearance is in ‘The Case of the High Iron Hoods’) never speaks
why two of the cops’ drivers (hence their Hasbro figures were boxed with vehicles) - Roadblock and Heavyweight - were omitted from the cartoon (hence only two of the cops’ drivers - boxed with vehicles - Bullseye and Hardtop - were in the cartoon; the crooks only had one driver, boxed with a vehicle - Turbo Tu-Tone)
why Hasbro never made (of the crooks) Squeeky Kleen as a figure (when he was even a male)
why, in the G.I. Joe toy line, Hasbro would make figures of Scarlet, Cover Girl (I like how Hasbro made her with short red hair; she was a driver, hence was boxed, with a vehicle), the Baroness, Lady Jaye, Zarana and (the last female) Jinx, and why Mattel would make a Teela figure, in the MOTU toy line, and why LJN would make a Cheetara figure, in the ThunderCats toy line (when I’m aware why Hasbro didn’t make figures of this show’s four females - two of the cops - Mainframe and Mirage, and two of the crooks - Miss Demeanour and Nightshade, when Hasbro felt skeptical about including female figures in boys’ toy lines)
why the figure of Taser (another member of the cops, and a carded figure, in the Hasbro toy line) has a moustache (when he never had one in the cartoon)
most of all, why (of the crooks, and was a carded figure, in the Hasbro toy line) Nightmare (the android) was left out of the cartoon
Yeah, I’m aware what it was like, for fans of this show, and were buying the figures, of its Hasbro toy line, that they couldn’t have the entire teams, of the cops and crooks.
Back when the world made sense, and had quality kids programming
“LongArm” wears a high-tech wrist device that extends out a handcuff-like device to grab criminals, or as an improvised grappling hook. I wish that I had a wrist device like that, I would use it to catch bad guys on the streets.
Me Too
Not surprising, considering that’s a play on (pun on) what his name means - ‘the long arm of the law’.
RUclips is a time machine loovveee it
crazy i love it
Yooo! Classic
THANK you for the video!
Love
They need to do a movie
#StickToTheScript
Those old series were better than the newest...
Agreed. :-D
I don’t know why I thought about this show but I had to look it up.
Bulletproof and Long Arm were my favorites
Me Too, +Adande. These Guys are Fuckin' Awesome. :-D
How could anyone (who’s seen this show, and remembers it) not love Bulletproof (nickname of ‘Agent Vess’)? He even gets the honour of being the only character to appear (let alone speak) in all 65 episodes (there were very few episodes without Big Boss).
Colt Howards, Philadelphia, codename: Mace. Specialty: Special Weapons and Tactical (S.W.A.T.)
Oh, Yes. :-D
Ah good old 80s I was 6 when this came out same animation as cartoons like inspector gadget , the littles, real ghostbusters and more 80s DIC.
Nice to see B.P eyes without his glasses.
This should be the pilot episode.
Agreed
When I was a kid I was surprised no bigots made a scuffle about the team leader being Black. For supposedly a more racist time in the nation's history no one said anything.
the chief being a black guy was a common trope at the time. We had Beverly Hills Cop and Lethal Weapons movies. Racism was around, but never that bad
Agreed.
Agreed.
"Here's how the caper came down"
I'm with you, Random-RUclipsr, This is the Best Catchphrase Ever! :-D
I had the figures of this series
Im French and the series was also shot there !I had first had Highway but my Favourite was Longarm and I actually had him and was so happy when father bought it !But I also regret not to also get Bulletproof !70s-80s cartoons and series forever !
Me Too. :-D
One Alex J. Murphy aka RoboCop would say, "at least you had a choice in the matter
I didn't recall there being that many spats in this cartoon.
Agreed
COPS is a weekday show
Well, in childhood it seemed waaaay better.
Crazy this show only dud 1 season. Wasn't a bad show.
Dude! that's Kickass! :-D
Anyone else agree that Dr. Badvibes is a much more entertaining villain than Dr. Eggman from Sonic the Hedgehog?
i remember this 1 bought a cpl o vhs tapes w em nvr shown on tv ere :)
Is there a site where I can watch all the episodes? Help a brother out
Agreed
Fantastic Town USA!
I’d forgotten all about this cartoon! I used to want to be that Black Clark Kent looking guy😀👍🏾
+The democrat party is Not your friend, Me Too. Me Too. :-D
i have not watched this in years
Apparently the pilot episode, which oddly was not the first that aired I believed.
Agreed
Wow, he decided that from his potential death bed, lol. That's the 80's for you.
Agreed.
Death bed? Was Vess worried he’d die? Or was he in high expectations that he’d get better, and be capable of crime fighting?
Big Boss seems never to show consideration for his crooks - he made his nephew - Berserko - waste a good leg of chicken. See, this is *another* reason the crooks should consider showing niceness, after the episode ‘The Case of the Lowest Crime’ (heck, even Berserko’s aware he has to eat).
When I watch this show on Saturday mornings ,it was called Cyborg Cop's

Wow I was 7
Me Too. :-D
Now this was the good stuff right here back in the 80's and 90's and even the early 2000's it was all about the action the adventure the suspense and even a little bit of sorrow nowadays kids just watch a bunch of this silly stuff that's trash & painfull reboots
Agreed
I TV show that group with. I wonder if this was ever a movie it should be a movie soon I still would watch it.
So what are the odds of the crooks escaping? Come on any takers?
35:55 continuity error: Longarm called them by their codenames, but they are not in COPS yet. It's Donny and Tina for now.
You remember that cartoon gargoyles
Does have episodes in that version of CyberCOPS (1993 CBS re-air)?
GO, POLICE FORCE, GO! :-D
This show is the cartoon version of the black robo cop.
Nowadays it’s definitely Fuck the po-po
But I remember a time when me and my brother used to watch this on VHS and we had a couple of the toys too I remember one used cap gun caps to make sparks and piss my mom off 🤣
