(Interesting how relatively few reviews there are for such a successful show!)
I used to be a COPS junkie - watched it faithfully, and still enjoy it, but that has been waning considerably over the past few years.
Interviews years ago with the show's producers revealed that they were under constant pressure from some special interest groups concerned that too much of the show featured certain demographic groups - unfairly, in their opinion, but the reasonable response was the most exciting and serious events were picked for each episode regardless of race, colour, or city/town location.
Watching COPS now obviously indicates that they've caved in to that pressure.
Now, it's mostly boring domestic disputes and impaired driving, of a different demographic, events seemingly now picked for appeasement to those aforementioned special interest groups?
I'll still watch, but only maybe once a month, or two now. Very "pc", for the most part.
