C.O.P.S. Cartoon Opening Theme Song

[@Keithst-e7z]

I remember watching this early mornings......... I'm 41

[@thebigdogwalker]

Me too. I first saw this when we went on a family holiday to Orlando Florida in 1990

[@oneilfarquharson-ifearthel3253]

​@thebigdogwalker I bought the collection on Amazon, one of my favorite cartoons of all tome

[@andrewcutler1380]

Me too! Fellow 41 club herrre

[@robhulson]

My brother and I collected a lot of the action figure sets, I’m 43. These were like gigantic GI Joes.

[@malcontender6319]

I'm still waiting for the standard issue laser bazooka.

[@DreFromMaine8472]

Fun fact: the "future time" this show took place in was 2020. That's right!

[@baronvg]

Lmao!

[@Artemisaobscura]

so they would be dealing with entitled karens and police officers who don't know the law

[@mstrikesback168]

@@Artemisaobscura I think you mean they'd be dealing with future scholars and 'teens'

Best intro ever this needs to be a live action movie

[@Alessandro1983]

PREACH!!!!

[@torontowalker17]

Samuel L Jackson should be part of this

[@ultramagnus638]

Yeah but look what they did to transformers, gi joe, and smurfs... just saying.

[@ChrisXperince]

Fun fact : this was based off the live action show of the same name

[@DjZerotheoneandonly]

Denzel Washington would be bulletproof Reginald vel Johnson would be big boss

[@xceptionl1]

As soon as you heard Bulletproof's voice and the calm theme riff you ran to the TV because you didn't want to miss the theme switch up and all the action

[@Maddog3060]

It's like a lighter, softer cyberpunk dystopia for kids.

[@ggn3]

Like they did with Robocop cartoons.

[@floydjohnson7888]

@@Maddog3060 and therefore probably not dystopic

[@Sitharos]

Loved this show as a kid!

[@Cleavonmrballer]

This show has the best theme song for 80/90 cartoons show ever and I grew up watching it as a kid I can’t believe I remember this show !

[@empressvk4381]

This one along with X-Men and spiderman

[@CRCfail]

I always tied this one with Heathcliff

This was the earliest cartoon I remmber watching as a kid.

[@OmarJames]

When I was a kid I thought the future would be just like this and I wanted to be a cop with a robo dog so bad

[@Rick5150]

And look at how things turned out for you.... What a shame.

[@floydjohnson7888]

I imagine that Boston Dynamics' quadruped robot raised your eyebrows.

[@okamijubei]

There kinda is, just not in a similar design do with practical reasons

[@andrewchin6211]

Bionic Six, Dinosaurcers, M.A.S.K. and this were my jam back in the day!

[@Ghostbear17]

dude this cartoon was the last great one from the late 80's loved it

[@jordanbyrd9821]

What about the super mario bros super show? 1989.

[@susanfit47]

When C.O.P.S. was aired under the new name Cyber-C.O.P.S. when reruns aired on CBS originally, I believe they used their CBS Stereosound Where Available logo in 1993.

[@floydjohnson7888]

@susanfit47 At the time, that was a funky inversion. Usually, the first run would occur on a network, the reruns airing in syndication.

[@TehFoog]

Another classic kid's show theme song that went went way harder than it had any right to. Love it

[@marcnangelu]

I loved this show back when I was a young fella. My age now I’m 43.

[@susanfit47]

A list of stations C.O.P.S. was syndicated to: KWGN 2 - Denver, CO WTTV 4 - Indianapolis, IN KPHO 5 - Phoenix, AZ KMSP 9 - Minneapolis, MN WGN-TV 9 - Chicago, IL KPLR 11 - St. Louis, MO KSTW 11 - Seattle, WA KTVT 11 - Dallas, TX WPIX 11 - New York, NY KCOP 13 - Los Angeles, CA WPHL 17 - Philadelphia, PA WVTV 18 - Milwaukee, WI WDCA DC 20 - Washington, DC WXON-TV 20 - Detroit, MI KRBK-TV 31 - Sacramento, CA WOFL Fox 35 - Orlando, FL KHTV 39 - Houston, TX WDZL 39 - Miami, FL WUAB 43 - Cleveland, OH KBHK 44 - San Francisco, CA WTOG 44 - Tampa, FL WGNX 46 - Atlanta, GA WNUV 54 - Baltimore, MD WLVI 56 - Boston, MA

[@baronvg]

I remember watching it in Los Angeles and it was appropriately on KCOP 😂

[@kri249]

I watched this in Australia. Buggered if I could remember the station that aired it. Maybe channel 10.

[@JasonDelarosa2000]

Don't forget Louisville, KY; and it probably would've been Fox 41 WDRB

[@bhd2935]

I remember watching this on WGNX 46 Atlanta back in the day! RIP WGNX it’s CBS 46 WANF now !

[@GrousinVizslas]

I watched this in Toronto. Maybe it was on a Buffalo station.

[@peoswriter1]

I rewatched a bunch of episodes of this show a while back and Ron Rubin made such a meal of his role as Dr. Badvibes. Always the best.

[@Jawbone88]

I feel a movie coming up Boom!!

[@trevorknight9704]

I’m hoping for M.A.S.K. However Hollywood would have to get its head out of the Nether region first.

[@The_Underproducer]

For no reason at all today, Ms. Demeanor name popped up in my head. This show and 80s cartoons in general were wild. Looking back this looks like Streets of Rage the cartoon.

[@sjcobra84]

WOW. I remember this as a kid. This rocked. Looking back on this, this gives off pre Ghost in the Shell vibes and its not as complex. 🤣

[@DT__1]

Yeeh this one was unforgettable, absolutely best and very different for that time. Intro theme was epic. was a little kid when saw this first time... what a life huh 🤔..😊

[@TinyIreland]

This was on after school in Detroit. I freakin loved it!

[@adrianzamorano6825]

I had the helicopter toy as a kid and it was one of my all time favorite toys ever receiving from my parents! I thought it was the coolest looking police helicopter ever!

[@RoninJoegenji0085]

GOPS gecko on patrol.... It's BUG eating time!😊 Philippines they are everywhere you need them keeping the houses big free 😊

[@DennisTISAC]

Bug

[@lxt101]

HOLY SHIT! thats a flash back. One of those shows that you could swear it was don't by an anime crew. But it was weirdly in that Toy/actionman/transformers style. That for some reason you just knew it was aired with toys.

[@floydjohnson7888]

At roughly that time, Marvel Productions ("Dungeons & Dragons", "GI Joe", "The Transformers", and "Muppet Babies") outsourced the in-betweening and ink and paint ("animation production") to Toei, the anime firm behind "Golion" ("Voltron" with the lionbots)

[@reallyrecap]

I remember wanting to be nightshade, shoutout to the national single tv channel that had me watching this as a kid in Zimbabwe

[@kellymiller1891]

Nostalgia ❤❤❤❤

[@LSF1976]

The animation is crisp🥳

[@susanfit47]

Does anyone have a South Carolina TV Guide from the early 90's (1993) that mentions "C.O.P.S.' repeats as "CyberC.O.P.S."? I want to see proof that they aired in my state (if they did). It used to come when repeats were aired on CBS on Saturday mornings on the CBS Kid TV block on the Charleston/N. Charleston affiliate WCSC 5 during the spring to early fall in 1993, while at the same time, being aired on WGN showing its original title.

[@user-yd3kn5wx2y]

awesome cops

[@susanfit47]

Does anyone have the intro (videoed 1993) for CBS rebroadcasts of C.O.P.S., repackaged as Cyber C.O.P.S. when reruns were shown originally aired on CBS on Saturday Mornings as part of CBS Kid TV from March 20 to September 4, 1993 when the CBS StereoSound Where Available logo was shown before the end of the intro? It consisted reruns of the 1988-89 syndicated series, same show, same episodes, but with a different title with the word "Cyber C.O.P.S." in the theme song to avoid confusion with the Fox prime time reality police program Cops, which was then gaining popularity during the time.

[@sneakyskunk1]

In the first few episodes a federal agent got fatally wounded and came back as a cyborg. Kid's shows used to be daring(especially if you remember this was designed by Bart Sears to sell toys). Also, at some point Big Boss's nephew Berzerko got hooked on drugs by accident. Oooh oooh and there was a cyborg with a tommy gun in his chest!

[@cheritripp9470]

The time when the Crooks and Cops teamed up to get rid of the drug ring. Also shown that for all of Big Boss ruthlessness, he really cared for his nephew. Seen in his expression when he visited Berzerkoo in the hospital.

[@yeoedwin1619]

I wish Netflix can adapt this cartoon series into live action movie or series, or reboot this cartoon as well with more subjects, mature and dark matters like (including involvement of characters, their families and friends) : Gang war (with brotherhood, Romeo and Juliet tragedy elements), Siblings or friends in opposite of law (reference to A Better Tomorrow), Corruption and bribery (politicians, business crimes, sports fixing), Undercover (take reference of The Departed, Hard Boiled, Infernal Affairs and Face/Off), Terrorism (hostage situation, bombing, blackmail, sabotage), Serial killer (reference to Joker, Scream), Loan shark, Cyber crime (hacking, scamming, cheating, reference to No More Bet), Police under attack in criminal building or slum (reference on The Raid and Dredd) , Station under attack (reference on Assault Of Precinct 13), Human trafficking (prostitution, human organs), Illegal activities (street racing, underground fighting, underground gambling), Illegal immigration, Assassination or random shooting (reference on La Femme Nikita, Day Of The Jackal or The Killer), Smuggling (drugs, firearms), Counterfeit trading (Piracy), Street Kids Violence, Riot or hooligans, Cults, Vigilante. Sometimes I have crazy ideas of having COPS crossover with the following: Robocop, Judge Dredd, Batman Of The Future, Iron Man, Terminator, Predator, Ghost In The Shell, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Captain America, Hellboy or any franchise.

[@Tigerman1138]

Scary idea…scary good!

[@LifeAfterFlint]

Still the best American cartoon intro (and outro).

[@KurilianCanine-rx2tf]

Great cartoon!

[@susanfit47]

What episodes of C.O.P.S. when it was rerunning as Cyber C.O.P.S. on CBS' Saturday Morning cartoon lineup from March 27, 1993 to September 4, 1993?

Even in 2024, Empire City does look futuristic. Man, I miss this show. (Fun fact, Ron Rubin, the voice actor for Dr. Badvibes, would later voice Artemis the cat in the original English Sailor Moon dub.)

[@yeoedwin1619]

I would appreciate if any games developers pitch ideas on adapting COPS into the following genres of games like: Turn based strategy (Xcom), Open world RPG action (GTA, Sleeping Dog, The Outer World, Cyberpunk 2077), Tactical First Person or Third Person Shooting (Counter Strike, Rainbow Six, Star Wars Battlefront), Real Time Strategy (Commando, Freedom Force, Syndicate), Action RPG (Diablo, Shadowrun ), Beat em up (Final Fight, Street Of Rage), Pursuit Car Game (Pursuit Force), Police Stimulation
