Cops has been taken off the force: The long-running reality TV pioneer has been cancelled at Paramount Network following a nearly seven-year run there, our sister site Deadline is reporting.
“Cops is not on the Paramount Network, and we don’t have any current or future plans for it to return,” a network spokesperson said in a statement.
The groundbreaking docuseries, which followed real law enforcement professionals from around the country as they patrolled the local streets and arrested criminals, debuted back in 1989 on Fox, airing there on Saturday nights for more than two decades until it was cancelled in 2013. It was soon picked up by Spike TV, though, which began airing new episodes later that year. It remained on the schedule when Spike TV changed its name to Paramount Network in 2018. Altogether, 32 seasons and more than 1,100 episodes of Cops have aired.
With the current worldwide protests against systemic racism and police violence, though, Paramount Network decided to shelve the upcoming Cops season premiere last week, which had been slated to air June 8. Meanwhile, A&E Network opted not to air new episodes of Live PD, another police docuseries, on June 5 and 6 in light of recent events. The network “is still evaluating the right time to bring it back,” Deadline reports.
I wonder how Blue Bloods is going to be able to continue. Their last season showed some of the problems with New York’s newest laws, i.e. letting the criminal visit the crime scene and have contact info of witnesses against him.
Part of the unthinking irrational hysteria that has taken over the country.
If The Blaze hasn’t gone out of business, they should pick it up.
You could still watch COPS on Pluto TV...
Old episodes...
Except for “Blue Bloods”.
Except for conservative talk radio and conservative internet websites. They will be left alone for certain.
Good news. “Blue Bloods” has been renewed for another season.
Trump for certain.
I see him getting re-elected because most Americans are law-abiding.
Nope neither will be canceled. Dittos FBI,S.W.A.T.,or MacGiver.
Just so long as they let “Yellowstone” run this season....
I think the left will be coming after talk radio hard, especially if they win in November.
Nope,not really.
A&E canceled LivePD. Crap there goes my Saturday nights.
How?
By boycotting advertisers, putting pressure on their corporations, Tucker just lost several advertisers, they are coming after him
