It's been on the air since 1989
The cinéma vérité-style show has been on the air since 1989, making it one of the longest-airing television shows outside broadcast news.
″‘Cops’ is not on the Paramount Network and we don’t have any current or future plans for it to return,” a Paramount Network spokesperson said in a statement Tuesday. The controversial show had been on the Paramount Network since 2013, after a 25-season run on Fox. Last week, the network said it was temporarily pulling “Cops” from its lineup, delaying this week’s start of the show’s 33rd season “out of respect for the families ofand others who have lost their lives,” a spokesperson said, citing the police killing of Floyd in Minneapolis last month.
Now they’re pulling the plug altogether. The unscripted show has repeatedly come under fire for the one-sided perspective it offers on policing by embedding camera crews with cops as they pursue and arrest suspects, sometimes in humiliating fashion.
