Nothing but the truth? 'Running from COPS'
from The Podcast Hour
COPS is the longest running reality show in TV history. The format's simple. Cameras follow police officers on the beat as they catch and arrest baddies. Thirty seasons in there's now more than 1000 episodes, a new half hour show comes out every week, and repeats play everywhere TV is watched. But is the 'reality' this pioneering show presents a true and accurate portrayal of modern policing? Well not so much, according to Dan Taberski and his Headlong team. They follow the wildly popular 'Missing Richard Simmons' and last year's 'Surviving Y2K' with the final part of the Headlong trilogy called 'Running From COPS'. We play some of episode 1 'The One-Celled Amoeba' from 'Running from COPS', hosted by Dan Taberski and produced by Henry Molofsky.
