Funky Cops is an animated series about two cops in San Francisco during the 1970s.[1][2] The show was created by brothers Christophe and Benoit Di Sabatino[1] and produced by Antefilms.[3]

In the US, it was licensed by 4Kids Entertainment and aired on the FoxBox (later renamed 4Kids TV), but this now-rare version was short-lived.[4] A different English dub (not the 4Kids dub) appeared on Kabillion On Demand on some services, most commonly Charter; as well as on the official Funky Cops YouTube channel.

Plot

[edit]

Ace Anderson and Dick Kowalski ("Jack Kowalski" in the 4Kids version) are two semi-competent cops in San Francisco during the late 1970s. They show more attention towards appearing cool and disco dancing, but finish the cases by the end of the day. They are assisted by their disgruntled police chief Captain Dobbs, plucky reporter Miss Lee, fellow disco lover Boogaloo, and an additional officer called Flora "Fly" Ibanez in the second season.
