C.o.p.s.

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.

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 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.

C.O.P.S. 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...

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).

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.

Volume 2 was released March 16th of this year. Volume 1 was released back in 2006.

I bought a couple MOC figures on e-bay the other day. I'd like to eventually have at least all the Wave 1s MOC.

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.

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.

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.
