Anybody remember this show? Well, I sure do, and I got the box set to prove it. A bit on the quality-challenged side, I must confess, but if you enjoyed the show back in 1990 then you might want to check it out.

Read my full review, Right Here!

COPS was an animated series produced by DiC for the purpose of selling a new Hasbro toyline. But hey, what cartoons in the 80’s and 90’s weren’t made to sell toys? COPS was, in a way, Hasbro’s successor to G.I. Joe (which was waning in popularity by the 90’s), featuring similar characters, trite public service announcements (“COPS for Kids”) and some recycled plots. Interestingly enough, the characters and their backgrounds were all created by Larry Hama, the same guy who created the characters for G.I. Joe (and wrote the Marvel Comic, too). Due to this, there’s the occasional homage to certain G.I. Joes in there, such as the obvious similarities between Mutt & Junkyard and Bowser & Blitz.
