I loved this show as a kid, and I think it's highly underrated (as is M.A.S.K., Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors, and Silverhawks). The animation is great, the stories are good, the characters are cool . . . . but I never got into the toys. They seem cool enough, and I'd certainly like to see them "updated" as many other properties have gotten.
A complete series C.O.P.S. DVD set is coming out this year and includes a digital copy on Mill Creek's digital service: C.O.P.S.

"The Case of Mace's Romance" and "The Case of The Lawless Lady" - These episodes show Mace & Nightshade's relationship. COPS (animated TV series) - Wikipedia
Warning to people who are hyper PC and get butthurt over non-PC stuff. My funniest COPS memory is what my friend's wife thought a character's name was (Mainframe - the IT girl). We were over there watching a bunch of episodes and we said something about the character and the wife then said she thought the character's name was 'Daterape'. I don't think we stopped laughing for 5 minutes. I have no idea why she thought that was her name considering it is a kid's cartoon. Pretty sure even an adult show wouldn't give a character a name like Daterape. Needless to say, the rest of the night, many jokes were made.
Maybe she thought her name was Database but was just recovering from a Law & Order binge Seriously I'm curious as to how she came to that conclusion though.
