Future Cop - 1977 Series TV Intro

[Tenraiden]

Dominic!

[SolidMike]

John Amos is the best person ever, next to David Hayter

[deesims]

where can i see this?

[JLC31383]

This Michael Shannon is not at all who is going to be playing General Zod in "Superman: Man of Steel" in 2013.

[Beatlesfanize]

Wow !!I watched this when it aired,Cool, where Did You find this classic,

[lethalforcethemovie]

@Beatlesfanize SciFi channel waaaay back in the day.

[TheLizardmonkey]

ROTMFFL... This almost killed me.

[ironian]

Starting at 0:45, that's the damn electronic melody I've been whistling for almost 30 years. It drove me nuts because I couldn't remember from where I heard it! Finally, some closure. Thanks for this.

[leonbrain68]

This show was a piece of shit....I remember an add for it in Venezuela where they simply added some Six Million Dollar Man scenes to make it look interesting.

[boob72]

Never seen this crap, looks like a six million dollar man rip off. Always wondered where Amos went after Good Times, never saw him again until Die Hard 2....

[thomazcars]

John Amos had Good Tiiiiiiiiiimes on the PD

[fenriz218]

For a kid in the 70's, this was a good TV show ... but I doubt that Haven would stand much chance against a ED-209 these days.

Plus, the wiring and batteries tell me he still was analog ... :)

[aculturemind]

Never saw this. Bergnine was slummin it there.

Don't recall seen John Amos till The Beastmaster.

[JENDALL714]

I guess this was meant to compete with Holmes and Yo Yo. If you don't know Holmes and Yo Yo, Yo Yo was a robot like Hymie the Robot on Get Smart.

[briafromxbox]

a robot cop like a robocop wait thats what Alex J. Murphy is

[samchampionlives]

This looks like the best thing. Also the theme music is awesome

[DoctorPretorious616]

"That's the fastest white boy I ever seen!" LOL, racist!!! Some vintage crap genre TV, thanks for posting it!

[setpunk12]

oh man! those are about the most FUTURISTIC LOOKING titles I eve seen!

[Banner1979]

Very cheesy and cheap looking. Thank goodness RoboCop did it better as it had a bigger budget and was a movie made by a proper studio at the time (Orion).

[darost]

"...except it's total crap" -- uh... no comment

[martinthornhill]

sorry jifkitchen but it was shown on uk tele, saturday teatime.

[blueluny]

fuck me this looks baaaad!!

[Hulken666]

@blueluny

I didnt know it was opposite day today

[jifkitchen]

Yea , Ernest borgnine from airwolf. we didnt have this in UK. This voice sounds deeper here. truely a materialstic time.

[vexxbro]

Never heard of it. When I was a kid I probably would have loved it...now I just couldn't stop laughing.

[perpetual61]

I remember this show it ran on ABC for only 8 Episodes.

[VelvetCyberpunk]

I'm gonna take a shot in the dark here and say that it's extremely likely that the idea for RoboCop came from this show. I don't remember this at all, but I wish I'd seen at least one episode.

[nutherefurlong]

Ha! I've never heard of this :) Was it just a pilot?

[mrjohnnynofear]

Any show that has Uncle Eddie from the Munsters and James Evans from Good Times as the leading characters is in deep trouble.

[apvideogame]

He's programmed to pull over black drivers.

[MdP2]

No !

Don't trust Bundy !!

He will try to kill John McClane !!!

[Kenou]

0:36 lol.

[schnubbel76]

He is a cop of the future - a future cop....

poetry.....

[nacireman2009]

John Amos left Good Times for this? That sucks.

[manzi71]

@nacireman2009 I know! DAMN! DAMN!! DAMN!!!

[nightshadedesign]

@nacireman2009 John Amos was fired from "Good Times". Every time the writing on that show was slack, Norman Lear would parade JJ Walker out in a chicken hat for cheap laughs. Amos found it demeaning, got sick of it and objected. The conflict eventually escalated to the point where Lear canned him.

[LibraGamesUnlimited]

@nightshadedesign Yeah I remember hearing that. That's also why the mom ended up leaving too. They both felt the JJ character was demaning and was a negitive sterotype for young black men. Especially since he barely got through high school, didn't go to college and even rarely (if ever) had a real job or anything.

[LibraGamesUnlimited]

@nacireman2009 Oh you say that now but imagine if the show had been a major hit and ran for years. :) There's another reality out there somewhere where he made the right choice.

[mistofoles]

That black cop was the head screw in "LOCK UP"!

[hilarioph]

I hope they have it on the dvd

[UlrichBechir]

I remember this one... it was kinda fun... also kinda stupid, but kinda fun.

[daghostpunisher]

so this is what inspired robocop

[mwillblade]

good god what a load of crap !

[jannyrcobs]

Crap, Indeed. But one must admit that such crap worked a hell of a lot better back in the '60s and '70s--especially the British programmes. Can you imagine how much worse a show like this would be if it were just getting started now?! For example, compare the old Charlie's Angels series to those yucky movies they've made in recent years, based on it. How 'classic' the old shows now seem in comparison!

[9jorge78]

wow this is sad what a show in the trash like the other show that did not make it , the theme song sounds like scooby doo!

[christusfactusest]

this is cool! i just love it, i mean this video. i may need to see more soon!

[alienboy07]

Dont think its been shown on british tv shame though it looks better than 90 percent of the shite thats on at the min

[Marckymarc71]

John Amos quit Good Times for this crap? Aye-yi-yi.

[Neville6000]

After having to put up with an idiot son like J.J. Evans on Good Times, this 'crap' must have seemed like heaven to Amos-if ever you meet him, ask him why.

[Attmay]

He pretty much dyn-o-MITE'd his career for about 15-20 years.

[hujesos]

yeah,i know hahahahah

[klsumdmnsrazalitlhel]

oh, Ernest, were you that desperate?

[SimmyDOTuk]

white boy is a racist phrase.

[SanFran001]

omg... i already forgot it....

it was one of my favorite... those days

thanks 4 bringing it back

[buddyboy55]

I'll bet John Amos doesn't talk about this show much...

[Neville6000]

He dosen't talk about 'Good Times' that much either! Why do you think that he quit that show?

[corpsvalue]

LOL! Do you see how the actor's head hits the bar at :17. They kept it in the intro. That always bugged me when I watched this short-lived show.

[GarthanSaal444]

Amos left "Good Times" for THIS?!?

The only episode of this tv show that I remember in the darkest regions of my mind was when the android was told to take dive in the boxing ring.

The android climbed the ropes, and literally dived to the canvas during a fight.

[senorbellaco]

...and mainmedic sounds like an asshole!

[mainmedic]

TOBY SAY THAT SUM HONKY SUPA COP

[durkadoo]

a cop of the future. a futurecop

[srb9]

OMG !!! I remember watching this !!!

[evil1stardragon]

yea u know maybe oj likes being around cops thats why he commits crimes this aint the only cop movie hes been in think of the naked gun shoot he was like in all 3 of those

[vincentchps3]

i thought this was future cop LAPD the game lol

[vincentchps3]

oh i thought this future cop LAPD the game lol

[semethis]

Am I crazy or do I remember the android saving Borgnine's life by getting in the way of a bullet? If I remember, he sacrificed himself willingly ... but was repaired shortly afterwards for a neat and clean ending.

[mistofoles]

If this is the future of law enforcement God help us all!!

[borgduck]

Me & my girl we love each other.

[chewmuffa]

amos that double crossing villan from die hard 2 grrrrrrrrr!!!!

[RobDobbs]

if I remember right, the establishing building exterior is down the street from my house across from what used to be TRW in Manhattan or Redondo Beach CA.

[violin99]

Lol I have not seen this since the 70's!! Thanks alot!!

Great Post!!

[Welshbluesman]

That is hilarious! The guy from the Jefferson's and Ernest Borgnine! Never knew this existed!

[mrtelevision]

John Amos starred in Good Times, not The

Jeffersons

[BobsWorld666]

That was great-- listen to that quasi-futuristic music! Looks like another "Quinn-Martin production". So much style. They really put themselves out there with the creativity.

[slashingraven]

Data's police predecessor?

[Neville6000]

More like Eve Edison's from 'Mann & Machine.'

[skal203]

OMG! I wish I could find the original "Future Cop" movie somewhere. I remember laughing hysterically as a kid. For years, until now I thought it was called Super Copy. Thanks for posting this! Excellent!

[arygirolamo]

Robocop still the best

[nda5150]

But this one has the Dutch Oven in it.

[vincebastard]

JAJAJAJA es una triste mierda con razon la cancelaron a los 6 capitulos

[peposo7]

Wow. Duro tanto?

[jpowell180]

Dominic Santini!!

What's funny is, Harlan Ellison & Ben Bova sued ABC over this show b/c they pitched a similar series called "Brillo" (like metal Fuzz) to them but were turned down - but Brillo was sort of like K9 from Dr Who...

[n0sc0p35]

James Evans!
