cops
 

is it just me or is this the greatest reality tv show of all time?

i feel like watching cops, through the various cities and eras that it was filmed, gives you a truly authentic slice of american pie.

what do you guys think?

Even though I'm quite certain that it's staged, yes it is quite entertaining.

His bit about cops is exactly why i like cops, not even the blurred faces can hide the shame.

I haven't seen the show in years, but yea, it's probably the best reality tv show next to Flavor of love.

It's real you goddamn skeptic. The show has been around for EVER and was one of the first legit reality shows. Nothing is staged. The only thing that is skewed is that these camera crews spend weeks with the officers. Incidents don't happen as often as they look like they do.

I love the show by the way.

I actually got arrested just to be on cops.

I struck my mother in the face with a hot iron after smoking crystal meth just to be on COPS.

I'm skeptical of any "reality" show. Some of it even most of it might be real but I doubt it's all real. What does air time have to do with anything? They still have to keep their ratings up to remain on air. It may have started 100% legit, but nowadays it's highly doubtful.

That show just annoys me, I'd rather watch the animal police shows when they get people doing things I consider bad.

That show is on Spike. Name one other show on Spike besides American Ninja Warrior. I don't think Cops has to worry about rating. Also, the show is pretty simple. We follow cops. You don't see the following the Lincoln, Nebraska PD. You see them in high crime/party areas. There is plenty of crazy sh*t to film.

It's not staged.

staged how?

words cannot adequately express my hatred for your reality tv preferences
