Movie Reviews of Cops: 20th Anniversary Edition
Movie Review: 20 YEARS OF FIGHTING CRIME
Summary: 5 Stars
Can it truly be 20 years since the first episode of COPS ran of the newly found Fox Network? Three years into the network's existence came a reality show unlike any other and it stuck a nerve with the viewing public. So much so that we now celebrate its 20th anniversary with the release of COPS 20TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION.
This collection contains several items of interest as well as a 20 year retrospective of the series. One disc contains the original pilot for the series and a special Las Vegas Heat show. A look back at the series by now famous fans including Luke Wilson, director Richard Donner and more as well as a collection of parodies of the show and other shows that have included spots revolving around the series is included as well. Remember the episode of X-FILES that was shot on video and told from the perspective of the COPS filming crew?
But for fans of the series, the highlight will be the look back at highlights from all 20 years. A selection from each on is presented, offering different types of moments seen over all those years. Everything from simple traffic stops to domestic disputes is seen. Perhaps not so amazing is the fact that during a 20 year period, people still commit crime and police are still needed to deal with each and every one of them.
Another section of this two disc collection contains fan favorites from the series. Trust me when I say that there has to be at least one you remember. If not, you've at least heard about them from someone else who watched the show.
I think the longevity of the series stems from several items. One is the glimpse at real life drama as it unfolds. Sure, the pieces are edited together to give us a heightened look behind the scenes. But you're never quite sure what will happen next or who will be involved.
The show also gave us a look at the people behind the badge. For once they are seen as real people as opposed to the radical's views of police as baton bashing, taser shooting cowboys with no concern for the people they have been hired to protect. In a time when police receive a bad name via Hollywood that wants to portray them as almost all corrupt and a media campaign to make them appear to be persecutors rather than protectors, COPS gave us the chance to see what it was they have to deal with daily. We may not understand why they pull us over and treat us as suspects, but with this series, we got the chance to see the weapons, drugs and more that people had on them when stopped for nothing more than a broken tail light.
COPS is a phenomenon that fun TV series have achieved. It has remained on the air for 20 years now and still seems to be going strong. We are all still interested in the real life adventures of police apprehending criminals or dealing with those domestic disturbances. Chances are we will never tire of it. And as long as this series presents it in the honest and understanding way that they have, this series could go on for another 20 years or more.
