I stopped watching Sesame Street on TV around 1983, so I don't remember seeing this. It must have come out later because NYPD Blue probably was a later show. It's amazing how Sesame Street has always managed to parody every popular show on TV with a play on the name like that. "Preschool Musical," "A's Anatomy," etc.
I bet that after Cookie Monster ate the alphabet at the end of this sketch, some joker at the studio suggested making him burp the alphabet for an encore. ;-)
There was a singing cop show called "Cop Rock" in the 90s, but it did so poorly that it got canceled after one season. (The entertainment column in my town called it "Flop Rock"!)
I recall a comment where saying that the user believes it was around here that the MPT sketches "jumped the shark". I sort of agree, as I find a parody like this totally out of place for a MPT sketch. It would've worked fine on it's own.
I am amazed at how many shows have been spoofed on Monsterpiece Theatre since I watched Sesame Street as a kid. The sheer number of them is astounding.
The Spanish version of this is very different. Alistar Cookie's intro is cut short, the photo of the alphabet is replace with a photo of Cookie, the title card and opening scene where they are called are cut, the ending is longer and Alistar's outro is cut short as well.
When they start dancing in a circle at the end of the song.... Just so funny. XD

Which is probably why they did it this way. Cookie's reacation to it was probably based on that observation.
