Cops Premieres in 1989: Raw Ride-Alongs & Iconic Theme
On March 11, 1989, Cops premiered on Fox, revolutionizing reality TV with its raw, ride-along approach to police work. Co-creator John Langleys vision, inspired by a real-life drug bust, took years to gain traction. The iconic theme song, Bad Boys by Inner Circle, was already two years old when it was adopted. Suspects signed release forms, and officers never received extra pay to maintain authenticity. The crew mostly observed, intervening only for safety reasons, making Cops a unique and captivating series.
