BLACK LIVES MATTER
COPS Reality TV Show CANCELED and pulled off AIR, in wake up Black Lives Matter
After 30 years, reality show ‘Cops’ canceled from TV during national debate over policing
The recent black lives matter protests have more people voting and shows being canceled.
After more than 30 years patrolling the airwaves, the tv show, “Cops” has been canceled.
A spokesperson for Paramount Network says that it has no “current or future plans for it to return.”
The verite police show, which originated on Fox in 1989, had been pulled days before its scheduled season premiere, an action that came amid nationwide questions and protests about policing.
Those same concerns prompted A&E to postpone “Live PD,” a newer iteration of the ride-along idea that’s one of the network’s most popular series.
Like so much in TV, the success of “Cops” was a surprise to most concerned at the time — representing a confluence of events more than some master plan. Still in its infancy, the Fox broadcast network basically stumbled into the genre, as networks explored programming alternatives due to a prolonged strike by Hollywood writers.
Beginning on local stations, Fox launched a law-enforcement block that began with “America’s Most Wanted” in the final year of the Reagan administration, later joined by “Cops.”
Personally, I am wondering what’s really going on? What’s the real agenda?
