　　Cops was among the earliest reality-based law enforcement shows, and remains one of the most popular of the genre. Each week, a camera crew followed the activities and daily beats of the officers of a different city's police department.

The success of Cops led to other similar programs, with varying degrees of success. Written by Brian Rathjen {[email protected]}
