Context

This is a derivative of William “Thrawn” Wolf III’s original “Cops on Fox” guide. Sadly William passed away in 2010.

Improvements over Thrawn’s guide:

• contains multiple corrections (especially officer names)
• contains all new episodes
• allows text selection and copying
• has no ads
• all episodes are on a single page, allowing for easy and fast text search with Ctrl+F
• has better design and faster hosting
• can be collaboratively edited (feel free to contribute!)
• can be cloned using a single command (git clone https://github.com/copsTvFan/cops-episode-guide) for easy archival

Goals

For every episode:

1. List all call descriptions so that people can easily identify episodes (e.g. by searching for “4:00 PM Property Theft”)
2. List all featured officers so people can easily find all episodes with a certain officer.

Help Improve This Guide

This is still a work in progress. You can edit this guide via pull requests or by just using the GitHub website (no git knowledge is required). Emails are also welcome (copsTvFan at protonmail.com), especially if you have VHS tapes of the show – I am missing several episodes.
