C.O.P.S. (1988)	comment	C.O.P.S., which stands for Central Organization of Police Specialists, was an animated series produced by DiC Entertainment that premiered in 1988 as one of the many Merchandise-Driven 65-Episode Cartoons made for First-Run Syndication. A few years later, it was re-run on CBS' Saturday morning schedule, this time under the name Cyber COPS for obvious reasons. The show was based on a toy line called C.O.P.S 'n' Crooks, which were futuristic police and criminal based action figures produced by Hasbro.Set in the year 2020, the show took place in the metropolis Empire City. The main story revolved around Agent Baldwin P. Vess, codename "Bulletproof", who has been sent out to stop Big Boss (no relation), a criminal mastermind who has taken over the city. However, after being attacked by the henchmen of Big Boss and suffering a near-fatal wound, Vess is taken to the hospital and given a new bullet-resistant torso. While he is recovering, he contacts Officer P.J. O'Malley (a.k.a. LongArm) and rookie Donny Brooks (HardTop) to find the best law enforcement officers around. They are able to recruit several people. Among them are David E. "Highway" Harlson, Colt "Mace" Howards, Stan "Barricade" Hyde, Tina "Mainframe" Cassidy, Walker "Sundown" Calhoun, Suzie "Mirage" Young, Hugh S. "Bullseye" Forward, and Rex "Bowser" Pointer and his robot dog, Blitz. Together these people make up C.O.P.S., using their combined power to stop Big Boss.At the very same time as the cartoon, there was also a C.O.P.S. comic book by DC Comics, which had a much different storyline that was Darker and Edgier (which isn't to say there weren't some absurd moments, like the twist in #14).Compare with You're Under Arrest!, an anime with a similar (if not more realistic & relatively modern) perspective.

C.O.P.S. (1988) / int_1062982b	comment	"Flowers for Algernon" Syndrome: In "The Case of The Brilliant Berserko", Berserko steals a "chess crown" meant to augment intelligence and becomes a well-mannered (if still criminal) supergenius. In the middle of the episode, the battery momentarily fails, setting up the common "it's just temporary" plot - but subverting it when he gets it working again almost immediately.

While it's not her defining trait, Mainframe is beautiful (and talented) enough to enter a beauty pageant as an Undercover Model to counter the Crooks' own entries of Nightshade and Ms. Demeanor since the latter two will undoubtedly cheat (and do.) Nightshade wins fairly, surprisingly, but then gets disqualified for the cheating. See Dick Dastardly Stops to Cheat above.

Likewise for the setting date of 2020. They never once mention this in the series proper; only supplemental materials set an exact year. The real names of most of the Crooks go unmentioned throughout the entire series. The only exception to this is Nightshade, whose real name (Rafaella Diamond) is brought up in "The Case of Mace's Romance". The C.O.P.S. themselves aren't much better. Aside from Bulletproof prior to his surgery, the rest of them get called off by their real names exactly once in "The Case of C.O.P.S. File #1 Part 2".

The judge decides to pull the plug on the project when she arrests him for littering.

Unfortunately, Highway turned out to be a Lethal Chef in which his cookies were incredibly hard, even Blitz, a robotic dog, couldn't bite into one. Near the end of the episode, Mace gets taken prisoner by Big Boss and Dr. Badvibes, but manages to escape. He demands the two crooks to turn off the detonator machine, to which Badvibes scoffs, saying he can't do anything since they've taken his weapons. Mace then weaponizes the cookies he pocketed earlier, which destroyed the machine, much to the crooks' horror.

As he was being put in the paddy wagon, he proclaimed that they'd never be able to make the charges stick, and that sort of thing happened only in comic books. Bulletproof turned to the reader and said, "That's good enough for me."

Also, his past as a failed stand-up comic recalls The Killing Joke.

Neither is overtly "girly" (with Mainframe only investigating a beauty pageant after the surprise suggestion that she should enter) and both have shown a few tomboyish traits (Mainframe directly picking up a dead mouse and Mirage carrying Mainframe on her shoulders while running uphill on a treadmill). While Ms. Demeanor is pretty blatantly a tomboy, she still gets offended if not treated like a lady.

His nephew Berserko nearly dying from an accidental overdose of the drug didn't help, although he'd already turned the dealer down before then. Berserko's near-death led to a temporary truce between the C.O.P.S. team and Big Boss' gang until they caught the drug dealer. In "The Case of the Bogus Bride", Berserko states that polygamy is illegal in Empire City and is apparently unwilling to violate that law. Nightshade is implied to be an example. She may not even really be evil at all, even if she is a Crook.

The plot then shifts to only four of the ex-members, Bulletproof, Highway, Mace, and Mainframe and only their fates are shownnote Bulletproof becomes a private eye, Highway remains a police officer as an ordinary patrolman, Mace becomes a garbage collector, and Mainframe gets work at a computer dating agency until Big Boss and his gang come out of "retirement", the four ex-C.O.P.S. thwart their plans to rob a train carrying federal funds meant for relieving Empire City's financial crisis, and Mayor Davis re-forms the C.O.P.S. team. What the other members of the team were doing during the period of the team's disbandment is never shown; other C.O.P.S are shown returning to work at the end, though.

Video phones are on every street corner and in every home and business, but portable phones do not exist. Modern cell phones and iPhone types aren't even close, even 80s/90s style portable phones aren't used. Every computer seems to be running DOS and mice aren't ever used. VHS and audio cassette tapes are still used by everyone, as are floppy disks. Flying personal speeder craft and cars exist, although typical 4-wheeled cars are still used by the majority. The electrical connectors Bulletproof uses to interface with computers would likely be USB or Ethernet connectors these days. Or he'd be Bluetooth-compatible.

As a side effect, they also tended to sentence random civilians to multi-decade prison sentences for petty misdemeanors, making it a wonder that the program lasted as long as it did.

Later on, he was regarded as a legit businessman with merely suspected but unproven criminal ties, and his own mother was unaware of any of this—which even Big Boss begged the C.O.P.S. to keep quiet because the knowledge could've upset or even killed her. The initial character concept artwork, used on the toy packages, gives Bulletproof a purple coat and black pants, and Dr. Badvibes has a normal-sized brain with a small dome over it. The Larry Hama file cards also have a superficial connection with the cartoon at best.

C.O.P.S. (1988) / int_7fd142ef	comment	Shared Universe/Rewrite/Plot Hole: Hasbro recently decided that ALL of their 1980s cartoon franchises took place on the same planet. That may be fine for the G.I. Joe side of things (as noted, Checkpoint is stated to be the descendant of Beach Head, at least in the file cards — though the cartoon never explicitly states it, it never denies it, either), but it does create a problem with The Transformers, namely that one episode where the Crooks dress up as aliens and try to claim to be alien invaders. That episode states in no uncertain terms that Earth has never had any contact with aliens prior to that event (and since it was just the Crooks, they still had not). One could take that to mean that giant robots from another planet had also never stepped foot on the Earth in this series. Not that this recent retcon by Hasbro didn't have numerous issues between the other shows as-is (G.I. Joe and Transformers had some connections established even in the 80's thanks to Season 3 of Transformers, but even that had certain plot problems, too), but this one pretty blatantly goes against prior established canon in a big way.

C.O.P.S. (1988) / int_8391b1c7	comment	Artistic License â€“ Law: Every Crook, regardless of their sentence, was out by the next episode and Big Boss roamed free despite everyone knowing he was a criminal, to maintain the status quo, although this can be explained by the fact that this show didn't really have any kind of direct continuity other than the file numbers given at the beginning and end of each episode. In any case, Empire City barely has more crime than Mayberry because one crime lord runs all the crime in the city and barely does more than bank robberies or technology thefts.note It's not entirely inaccurate, however. It's really less artistic license, and more a brief summary that doesn't go into details. Perhaps the worst case is the two-parter "The Case of Big Boss' Master Plan" where Big Boss kidnaps the President of the United States, forces the C.O.P.S. into prison, and runs Empire City as his own personal domain. In the episode he's merely beaten and humiliated, with the incident eventually forgotten. In real life, he'd have had the Secret Service and the U.S. military on him so fast his head would spin, and at best he'd have ended up in prison for life on multiple charges of terrorism and treason (among a pile of other charges) for even trying it. This episode overall is so full of mistakes regarding real-life law enforcement and the security of the US president that it may be the reason later episodes (in production order, anyway) seem to ignore it happened. The Secret Service isn't present at all and the president takes her trip on a train with practically NO security as well as public knowledge of the trip. In real life she would have taken Air Force One and been surrounded by security. In "The Case of the Lawless Lady", Mace is unwilling to shoot Shredder, a vicious guard dog, since the dog is just doing his job of protecting the store. However, when the store's owner ordered Shredder to attack Mace, Highway and Nightshade, one of them could've shot Shredder out of self defense and been in the clear, but this never occurs to them, and Mace resorts to using Nightshade's knockout lipstick to incapacitate Shredder by kissing him.

C.O.P.S. (1988) / int_8504b817	comment	Where the Hell Is Springfield?: Zig-zagged. Empire City's location is never stated outright, though it is a coastal city with an open harbor, which would place it on the east or west coast. However, the episode with Nightshade entering the beauty pageant featured her trying to escape by crossing state lines, by driving over the bridge spanning Empire City's main river- the sign at the state border read New Jersey, which makes the most likely location somewhere in Delaware, either the Dover or Lewes region. C'mon, Empire City? It's fairly obvious that's it's a futuristic New York City; New York State's nickname is the Empire State. Actually, the aforementioned sign has "NEWER Jersey" written on it. Empire City would appear to be a thinly-veiled New York City or imitation/parody thereof.

He is shown on his first day, dozing off at his desk; Mainframe walks into his office. The scene, provided with Bulletproof's voice-over narration, is clearly a spoof on the trope: as Mainframe walks in, the camera shows her from the legs up. She wakes Bulletproof up and tells him that she has a tip about an upcoming heist by the C.R.O.O.K.S. (By a Contrived Coincidence, Buttons McBoomBoom had popped into the dating agency where she is now working and indicated that he was about to get very rich). Then, several former C.O.P.S. foil a train robbery that the C.R.O.O.K.S. had attempted on a train carrying federal funds to Empire City, resulting in their team being re-formed as necessary after all.

C.O.P.S. (1988) / int_acf33d00	comment	Nice Job Fixing It, Villain: In "The Case of Big Boss' Bye-Bye", Mainframe figures out that Big Boss and his gang are going to come out of retirement to do a big surprise heist when Buttons McBoomBoom goes to her new place of employment (a computer dating service) and mentions to her that he's going to become rich in the near future while she's setting up his profile. She takes that information to Bulletproof, who quickly figures out how he's planning to become rich overnight and then they take action to stop it. In "The Case of the Ransomed Rascal", the Crooks have kidnapped Prince Baddin of Rashiland and are trying to ransom him back from his father for one billion dollars. However, the Crooks discover that Baddin is just that annoying towards them, that they give him back to the C.O.P.S. for free. You'd think that the Crooks could've just tolerated Baddin's behavior for a few more hours until his dad came back from Rashiland with the money, or maybe tie/lock up the prince for a few hours instead of letting him run around everywhere. In "The Case of the Brilliant Berserko", Berserko with his intelligence-enhancing crown has Bulletproof, Hardtop and Longarm cornered and is about to capture them after some Evil Gloating. Just when his victory seems imminent, Dr. Badvibes arrives to steal the crown. This gives the Cops the chance they need to escape and apprehend the two criminals, and Longarm lampshades it: "There's no telling what would have happened if Berserko had remained brilliant but greed and envy set in."

When the C.O.P.S. computers list any sort of information, they are actually listing the supply inventory for the cartoon. The character Checkpoint's name is Wayne Sneeden III. According to his filecard, his father was a member of a top-secret military team that operated in the '80s and '90s. The G.I. Joe member Beach Head happens to be named Wayne R. Sneeden. The ending of every episode may be an homage to Dragnet, and Bulletproof's tan overcoat may be a reference to Columbo. In the flashback origin episode "The Case of C.O.P.S. File #1", Berzerko and Turbo are driving a van labeled "Laughing Fish Movers" (the series predates Batman: The Animated Series by several years, meaning it's a reference to the original Detective Comics story).

At the end of the episode, Big Boss's assistant Squeeky Kleen uses an antidote that succeeds in getting rid of the dirt covering Big Boss, but has the side effect of destroying Big Boss's clothes, leaving him in an undershirt and boxer shorts with pigs on them.

This could be pinned to Peter Chung's work on the series — while the C.O.P.S. and Nightshade all look normal, everyone else clearly shows signs of his art style. Several characters could be stuck into episodes of Phantom 2040 or Ã†on Flux and not be out of place.

In any case, Empire City barely has more crime than Mayberry because one crime lord runs all the crime in the city and barely does more than bank robberies or technology thefts.note It's not entirely inaccurate, however. It's really less artistic license, and more a brief summary that doesn't go into details.

At one point Berserko suggests to his uncle that they get the police to go away by paying the fines. He is promptly glared into silence - apparently hardened criminals aren't supposed to pass up the opportunity to commit a crime, even when doing so gains them nothing.
