Lovesusti The Worst Film Ever
LastingAware The greatest movie ever!
Bergorks If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.
Anoushka Slater While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
McL-Cassandra This is the one and ONLY best police action programs EVER aired! The situations and varied encounters that law enforcement face are portrayed realistically and honestly. NO narration to sway your impression of the participants. Truly a treasure for years to come. Unfortunately A&E has tried to copy-cat this series with its all new "PD-Live. It's a far cry from C.O.P.S. and in many ways owes its intimate camera shots to the original show. You see, I don't think any police force would allow major camera "ride-along" crews if it hadn't been for the GREAT experience they've had with the C.O.P.S production teams. Even the public now expects an honest forthright portrayal of these 911 calls because of the decent representations that have materialized from an experienced team of cinematic pros. I sure hope people DON'T get sucked into the newer programs and remain loyal to the show that "started it all".... C.O.P.S.!
classicalsteve Apparently, since "Cops" began airing in 1989, crime rates in the United States had been falling in the 1990's. However, US perceptions that crime was on the rise has been wide-spread with many people buying guns and fearful that a crime would be perpetrated against them. The television show "Cops" I believe has been partially responsible for this widespread but erroneous perception. The television medium is an extremely powerful tool which can distort reality to millions of viewers. If one-sided perspectives are thrown at many viewers, people have a tendency to believe them, even if it is a distortion of the truth. There is really no such thing as a "reality television show", only shows which are either fiction or nonfiction. "Cops" shows one side of some of the more ugly aspects of our society, but it also perpetuates a certain view-point. "Cops" is ultimately a kind of on-screen trial in which only the prosecution's side gets to present its case. The accused receives no opportunity to present its side.In an interview with one of the producer of "Cops" in his documentary "Bowling for Columbine", Michael Moore asks some pretty interesting questions about the show. The producer states that chases, blood, guts, and handcuffs tend to sell very well. One aspect of the show which has and continues to be an integral part of the episodes is the chasing and arresting of minorities, particularly African-Americans and Latinos. Minorities are portrayed as constantly breaking the law, running from police, subdued by police, fettered by police, usually with handcuffs, and then shoved mercilessly into a police vehicle before being whisked away to jail. The message is clear: jail is where they belong.Rarely are white offenders ever shown breaking the law. This may be because of lot of white crime is non-violent, such as white collar crime which is really far worse than someone holding up the corner drug store, assuming no one was hurt. And yet, many financial institutions and other corporations have lost people's pension funds and retirement s, at the hands of greedy corporate executives who tend to be white, but the producers of "Cops" don't believe that kind of show would sell. Michael Moore pitches such a show to the producer, but he doesn't think it would fly because it doesn't have enough "action". And of course, the crimes would be perpetuated by more white people. Of course, all the producer's of "Cops" are white, so one wonders if their only motivation is in a belief of what would sell.In this country, part of as a result of this show, most people believe that the vast majority of crimes are committed by minorities, but it's not true. Whites commit more crimes than other minorities, but the message of the show is pretty clear that non-whites commit most crimes, which is why this show is not a reality show at all. The show is essentially the television equivalent of the case for the prosecution where there is no fair hearing for the other side. It is interesting that, in my entire life, I have never experienced controversies that are completely on-sided. Each side has their own story. But "Cops" wants to make it very clear who the good guys are and who the bad guys are. And if we live in a world of constant fear, we probably end up doing more damage to each other than good. Unfortunately, some of the most heinous crimes committed against humanity were engaged in out of fear. Is that the world we want to live in?
haildevilman 20+ years on and this one still has seasons to run.Camera crew follows the beat cops around until they find either a crime in progress or get the call. Been on so long now that my description seems repetitious already.Each show used to feature one city but now it jumps around. And in the old days you saw a little more violence on TV. Shootings, fire, and even the occasional corpse. But it's toned down now.Nowadays, we get mostly car chases, drug stings, and wave after wave of domestic violence calls. And women are getting hauled off as much as the men now.Repeated shouts of "Let me see your hands" and "Get on the ground now" are pretty much in every show. But the best laughs are the crazy excuses we hear. Or the sudden grab for the pockets that leads to the inevitable impromptu wrestling match.Its lost its edge but can still be interesting.
TheComputerNerd "COPS" is about when camera crews follow around police officers in their squad cars, having to deal with the general public in their communities and arresting suspects (the cops does know right from wrong). It beats reruns of "Lost" and "Desperate Housewives". I have been watching "COPS" and "America's Most Wanted" religiously every Saturday night for the last eight years. I can't find nothing worth watching on Saturday nights anymore. The most memorable episodes that I can is: when a 12-year-old called his mother a name and she had the police out, they had this teen girl in 1993 or 1992 that was high on drugs, she knew the police officer and was the strongest person. It took three or four police officers to handcuff her. Another episode when the guy was dress in a leopard suit. Then they had the sad episodes, when they had to find another guy hanging from a tree, or another guy that killed himself in the back of a store. The TV show came to a town two hours from mines I really wish that they would come to Topeka. I would like to see how the TPD handle the general public and arrest suspects without going on a ride along. After watching "COPS", I'm thinking to myself, "What a bunch of imbeciles." Then I'm very proud of how smart and law abiding that I am compared to the buffoons that they show on "COPS".
