Hi Vance!

Are you or is anyone else a fan of any reality police shows, like COPS, LAPD, etc.?

I can't believe how long COPS has been on the air!

There was a show I saw back in the summer that followed recruits as they trained for the LAPD. I can't think of the name, but it was interesting to see everything they went through.

Not sure if this counts....but I love, love, Reno 911 on Comedy Central. Makes me laugh like crazy and by the way, I appreciate your article ideas seeing that I have picky eater kidz. Keep up the good work. Happy harvest.

I like Cops but enjoy the shows hosted by John Bunnell like "Wildest Police Videos". I cannot get into the shows like Unsolved Mysteries or America's Most Wanted because I don't like seeing reinactments of crimes and finding out that the perpetrator(s) are still at large. I like shows that have an ending where you see the person caught.

As far as Reno 911, while it is not a reality show, it is still a show like Law and Order or CSI. I love Reno 911 myself but I may a bit biased because I am in love with Niecy Nash anyway. lol.

I love COPS - when I see cities I know....or even live in - I watch the scenery where they are shot - then I avoid those areas!

Reno 911 of course...and Psych on USA...I know it probably doesn't count as a cop show. LOL. I used to be a Hill Street Blues fan and Third Watch.

Hill Street Blues was definitely my favorite when that was on also. I made sure I was in front of the TV every Thursday night at 10pm to watch it. I also liked the Mod Squad, the Rookies and SWAT when they were on as well and Adam-12 too.

Dragnet was one of my favorites, also.

Crimes caught on video

I couldn't get into Dragnet but I did enjoy "The F.B.I" with Ephram Zimbalist Jr.

I couldn't really get into Police Story or Police Woman either with Angie Dickinson

Speaking of "crime" - does the show Cheaters count as a crime show? It does with me!

ps...The FBI was great, also. I used to watch that as a kid.
