About this episode
The episode explores the 80s cartoon C.O.P.S and its connection to police-themed shows.
We're starting off our Cop Shows theme this week! We're going to be exploring shows that are about police, have police in them, or even a tangential connection to police! Should be a fun month. We start with Audie bringing us an 80s classic! C.O.P.S! Not the one with the real life cops chasing perps over fences and exploiting the poor and underserved communties in our country. This is the good one! These cops are basically super heroes and what a delight it is to watch a 30 minute long commercial to sell toys. Not unlike the rest of the 80s cartoons we watched every saturday morning. How does this one hold up? Tune in to find out! Next week, Stephen brings us Telly Savalas in Kojak - S5E14 - Mouse. Watch it on Tubi! Send us feedback to @thosedaysshow.bsky.social or thosewerethedaysshow@gmail.com Follow on BlueSky Send us a Voicemail! LIVE Mondays at 9pm ET Hosted on Acast.
