Welcome to Episode 10 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?
Episode 10 is very likely our favorite episode across the board: great music, great choreography, and some okay storyline moments! Enjoy this one, because we did!
Watch the tenth 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.
Our theme music is “The Crime” by reiswerk, with full attribution in the show notes. And now… Let’s Watch Cop Rock!
