List of Cops episodes (seasons 1–20) explained

Cops (stylized as COPS) is an American documentary/reality legal series that follows police officers, constables, sheriff's deputies, federal agents and state troopers during patrols and other police activities including prostitution and narcotics stings. The show's formula follows the cinéma vérité convention, with no narration or scripted dialog, depending entirely on the commentary of the officers and on the actions of the people with whom they come into contact.

The show initially aired on Fox from March 11, 1989 to May 4, 2013 for 15 seasons and 752 total episodes. It is one of the longest-running television programs in the United States and, as of May 2011, the longest-running show on the network, following the cancellation of America's Most Wanted after 23 years.[1] [2]

Cops was canceled by Fox in 2013, following requests to do so by the nonprofit organization Color of Change.[3] However, the series was soon picked up by Spike TV, a cable channel now known as Paramount Network.[4] In 2020, the program was once again canceled, this time after its 32nd season.[5] Despite its cancellation, production of a 33rd season began in September 2020, with the intentions of an international broadcast.[6] In 2021, it was announced that Fox Nation picked up the show. The 33rd season premiered on October 1, 2021.[7]
