C.o.p.s.

[Ioz]

Any fans here of the DIC 1980s cartoon show C.O.P.S.? It aired weekdays in syndication and also had a later run on CBS Saturday mornings as CyberCOPS. I enjoyed the show a lot. I bought Volume 1 of the show a few years ago on DVD and recently pre-ordered Volume 2 from shoutfactory.com (where it is an exclusive at). My favorite characters were Mace and Buttons McBoomBoom. I enjoyed the storylines involving Mace and Nightshade the most.

Huge fan. The next DVD volume is coming out in March from Shout.

My favorite character is Bulletproof.

[SassyGal]

I loved C.O.P.S.!! It's one of those series I've been meaning to buy but just haven't gotten around to it. My favourite characters were Bulletproof and Nightshade.

I got C.O.P.S. Volume 2 in the mail today. I've been enjoying the episodes I've watched so far.

[KROW]

I loved C.O.P.S. when it was on. Mace was also my favorite. The toys were hardcore, too. I didn't know it was on DVD. Gotta get my funds together now.

Volume 1 had a general retail release in 2006 and can still be found on many websites for sale. Volume 2 is a Shout! Factory exclusive that was released on Tuesday that can be bought on their website (and also now on Amazon.com).

2006? Damn, I must really not have paid attention. Cursed life getting in the way of my cartoon childhood dreams...

I like COPS also, but never had merchandising... :tsad:

[TheCanadiandrome]

C.O.P.S. was awesome. On WGN, it was followed by Fun House, a game show.

Canadian game show announcer Ken Ryan was the voice of Baldwin P. Vess (Bulletproof).

the intro was pretty cool:

I loved that cartoon. I thnk the reason why I'm into good guy/bad guy parings is because of that show. Nightshade was awsome.

It looks like C.O.P.S. Volume 2 is now available on Ebay for the same price in addition to the Shoutfactory website and Amazon.

I watched some of the episodes with the Wave 2 toys last night.

[BubblyShell22]

I loved this show. My fave characters were Mainframe and Nightshade. It's cool that it's on DVD now so everyone can see a good show.

[Kendamu]

I remember watching this as a kid, but I barely remember anything from it. The only thing I can vividly remember is being impressed with a helicopter going into Silent Mode in one scene.

The only thing I can vividly remember is being impressed with a helicopter going into Silent Mode in one scene.There are a few episodes on youtube. If you are interested in checking out an episode or two, I'd recommend watching The Case of C.O.P.S. File # 1 (Parts 1 & 2) which tells the origins of the C.O.P.S. team.

It looks like Shout! sold the DVD rights of C.O.P.S. to Mill Creek. Mill Creek plans to release the show completely in two volumes for about $10 each. The episodes that would have been on a third volume by Shout will be on Mill Creek's second volume.

Volume 1 has a Feb. 15th release date.

[TheCanadiandrome]

cool, i'll be lookin at getting this

[Ioz]

I got the Mill Creek set a couple of weeks ago. The only extra on it is a "Hey Vern, Its Ernest" episode. I see Volume 1 is only $6.99 on Amazon which is a pretty good deal for 3 DVDs.

What kind of an extra is that?

Anyway I think I kind of valued characters like Nightshade, since she didn't seem to show up so often.

[Brodie]

I want the Mill Creek set, but I'm apprehensive... Maybe if it drops to $5 like the Ultraman sets.

[TheCanadiandrome]

i'm going to look for this when i go for my holidays in the summer

Awesome cover. Bulletproof rocks!

Anyway I think I kind of valued characters like Nightshade, since she didn't seem to show up so often.It is just something they put on there to try to get you to buy the Ernest set that they have also released. For half the series (32 episodes) for less than $10, I wasn't expecting much. I do hope they have the C.O.P.S. for Kids PSAs on Volume 2, though.

i'm going to look for this when i go for my holidays in the summerI've only seen it at online retailers so far.
