    No offense but Cops sucks. They take hours upon hours of footage and put it together to make it look like some PD is busy as hell on one given shift when in fact everything happened over a several day/week period.
    If you want to watch realistic Police shows, go over the cable side of things and watch Cold Case Squad, The First 48, American Justice, The New Detectives, FBI Files, etc....

    1) Reno 911 (at least it seems to hold true for our county :D )
    2) Power Rangers SPD (we don't wear individual colors)
    3) The Shield
    3) While not a LE show, I'd have to go with 24.

    Cop Rock...that was a great show...everybody bursting into song and dance during a shootout...that is real man...
    Eunice: A .22? Oh you've gotta be kidding me. That's like bringing a knife to a gunfight.
    Detective Greenly: Yeah, or bringing a really small gun... to a gunfight.

    I forgot about that one! Oh man, I could identify someone I worked with looking at everyone of them. Especially the little uniform guy with the clipboard! I forgot his name, but we had one of those, even looked like him.

    Don't know about t.v. shows, but my all time favorite cop movie is Super Troopers!

    "Do I look like a kitten jumping all Nimblee-Bimbelee from branch to branch.....moew!?"

    "Who wants a moustache ride?"
    "Kid, I've sat on the department ****ter longer than you've been a cop." (CatDoc to Chevy SS, the single greatest post ever on RP!)

    Moon Pies and RC Cola make me happy

    I was going to say the same thing. They make it look like the officer is going from a robbery, to a stolen vehicle, to a foot pursuit, to a domestic... all before his first break ;) They never tell you how long they had to ride around with a camera just to get that footage.

    Then some knucklehead that has watched a marathon of Cops on Court TV seeing all of the action will come in here and start spouting that they know all there is about LE.....or wants to become one because he wants to be like the guys on Cops...... :rolleyes:

    1) Reno 911....yes...I am not kidding!
    2) COPS & Third Watch....we don't share locker rooms, shoot people and patrol the next day or eat luch in uniform in restaurants/bars, or talk to FD or get along or many other things....never seen so much BS except from a NYPD recruiter!
    3) Barney Miller, NYPD Blue
    4) Dog the Bounty Hunter! JUST KIDDING! Court TV Investigative shows and A&E Investigative Shows.
