| | Professional Reviews | DVDizzy.com 9 of 10 Reality television. Today it means extreme competitions, gimmicky game shows, talent searches, self-improvement programs, and celebrity train wrecks. Before all of those became in vogue, there was "COPS", a show which has never pretended to serve a greater good or used manipulative techniques to manufacture suspense...Consistently funny and raw, occasionally shocking and exciting, once in a while just sad, "COPS" is one of life's least shameful guilty pleasures..."COPS" is one of those shows that even those enjoy it don't expect to spend money on it. But they'll want to reconsider that position now that Fox has put together such a swell two-disc collection to commemorate this fascinating, enduring series' 20th year on television. Loaded to the brim with content, the set delivers an outstanding blend of episodes, segments, and terrific, comprehensive new bonus features. This DVD release seems like one you'll probably have to find rather than it finding you, but now that you know, there's no excuse not to get this for yourself or the "COPS" fan in your life. With complete season sets not being the most practical or feasible idea, this will likely be the show's definitive DVD release. As such, if you care for the show, make space in your collection for it. This 20th Anniversary Edition DVD earns a hearty recommendation.
