Welcome to Episode 8 of “Let’s Watch Cop Rock,” an 11-episode podcast discussing that classic police procedural rock musical soap opera crime drama Cop Rock, 11 episodes of which aired on ABC during the fall of 1990.
Over the course of this podcast as a whole, we discuss the events of the show, our reactions to the music, and the ways this program worked, or didn’t work, and why some of it still seems very relevant today. Sometimes we get political. Sometimes we crack up uncontrollably. Sometimes we tell unbelievable but entirely true stories of our own lives’ intersections with crime or law enforcement or both. Every episode we play Good Cop, Bad Cop, or Innocent Bystander?
In Episode 7 we continued to discuss some of the ways Cop Rock still feels current, especially around questions of race and American culture and politics. That is still ongoing in Episode 8, as the show maybe – just maybe – figures out what it wants to say to its audience. I want to take a second to echo something Detective Doodah says in this, which is how much fun it is to sit around and talk about a show like this with good friends. Thanks for being a part of it with us.
Watch the eighth episode of Cop Rock before listening. Trust me, it’ll make a lot more sense that way. You can get Cop Rock on Amazon or direct from Shout Factory. There are links for each in the show notes. I want to remind you, we’re not affiliated with Shout Factory, we’re not affiliated with Cop Rock, and we gain nothing from that purchase.
You can find Officer Orifice on Twitter as @OfficerOrifice. I’m there too as @CopRocker.
