most surprising? COPS is still on!

FOX started with that show at its very beginning, and people were saying if this is the quality of show they're gonna put on, this netlet isn't going to amount to much.....


and ya know what? in a strange sort of way, those people were EXACTLY right!

it's elementary!

I read that "Cops" is moving to Spike. On another site, someone said Spike is what the people arrested on "Cops" watch.

Seriously? Wasn't that the "90210" finale?
