Here's the complete broadcast of a Summer repeat of a pilot movie for the very short-lived TV series "Future Cop" as aired on the ABC Monday Night Movie over WLS Channel 7.
This pilot film - which was first broadcast on May 1st 1976, and served as the basis for a TV show which ran for five episodes, aired between March 5th 1977 and April 30th 1977 - starred Ernest Borgnine (McHale's Navy, Airwolf) as a veteran cop, Officer Joe Cleaver, paired with a robot - er, "bio-synthetic android" named Haven (Michael Shannon). Also co-starred John Amos (for this he left Good Times?).
Note: We also have the complete broadcast of the regular series finale of Future Cop, which you can see here: • ABC Network - Future C...
