Each of the three DVDs in this set is made up of two parts.

The first is a "theme" episode, with various related clips. I believe these are the same that aired on Saturday nights, as part of the hour long specials. They are bleeped and blurred.

Each of the discs also contains a 15-20 minute "Too Hot For TV" segment. They are different on each disc, but very similar in content. They contain unblurred Mardi Gras footage and other unbleeped segments. Although some of it (like car crashes shown in montage) has already aired on TV, so nothing all that "Too Hot" about it. You've probably seen it before.

The discs don't make much sense though, in that they show blurred footage of one arrest on the Bad Girls DVD, yet on the "Too Hot" segment of one of the other DVDs they show the same arrest unblurred. They should have showed the whole thing unedited rather than repeating segments like that.

As it is, most COPS fans have probably seen these episodes already. If you are a fan, who can not get enough of the show, they are worth buying.

GREAT DVD BUT COULD BE A LOT LONGER ON 50 MIN OF EACH SHOW PLUS 15 MIN EXTRA , SHOULD HAVE ADDED ANOTHER 30 MIN PER DVD FOR VALUE FOR MONEY

I am from Germany. When I was on vacation in the USA, I saw the TV Show Cops. Unfortunately the show is not shown in Germany. When I found out that the show as DVD appears, I bought all three DVDs. I find the show better than all action movies.

In german:
Ich bin aus Deutschland. Als ich im Urlaub in den USA war, habe ich die TV Show Cops gesehen. Leider wird die Show nicht in Deutschland gezeigt. Als ich erfahren habe, dass die Show als DVD erscheint, habe ich alle drei DVDs sofort gekauft. Ich finde die Show besser als alle Action Filme zusammen.

I've been a fan of Cops for awhile so I decided to buy this 3 box set.

It contains some hilarious and dangerous scenes from aspects of a day in the life of an american cop. Its always interesting to get an inside view from the other side of the law.

The only downfall is its far too short, only about 20-30 minutes each disc, I was expecting more for the price, but for fans its a good purchase.

I am quite the avid Cops fan, so I absolutely needed this set regardless of what other reviews for this product said. I was pretty disappointed because I have seen most of these calls, and they aren't too exciting. Moreover, they're mostly old, I mean really old. If your a huge Cops fan like me, go ahead get it, just because it's the only Cops DVDs available, but if you watch the show from time to time and it's not a must, then don't waste your money.

I ordered the three movies thinking it would cover a verity of shows and uncut unedited since it was to hot for TV. But in fact only one was somewhat unedited but still blurred out in some scenes and then repeated in the other two DVDs fully edited? Yeah it's was the same scenes in all four movies. yeas there was others scenes that was only one one DVD. I am disappointed as to the content of the DVD's.

As For Amazon they are great! I have used them several times over a period of time and they are always on time with a good price and most times free delivery!! With all the orders I have placed with and though Amazon I have had only one problem with an order and they handled it with courtesy and in a timely manner! Including help with the return shipping and the refund! A great place for online shopping! And they have just about ANYTHING! Great way to save gas time and no lines! I will shop for Christmas from my living room this year!

I, like many of you, are an avid fan of the show COPS. However this set does not live up to the "Cops" standards in my opinion. It is full of very old episodes and can be kind of misleading from the packaging. If you like the old vintage episodes you can catch on countless channels re-airing themselves get this set! If not, you will not like it and waste your money!

well, I loved the footage but for that price it was too short.
In response to Alan Russel's review: Europe isn't a country, nor are the states in Europe united so when it doesn't air in Germany it doesn't mean the rest of Europe.
It DOES air in the Netherlands for your information.

This was a waste of $26 plus shipping. The reasons are explained very well in the previous reviews. It may be a great buy in Europe where cops doesn't air but here in the US I could have just watched the late night reruns on FX and saved my money.

I'm very glad that I could buy a DVD of COPS. It is exactly what I expected. There are three DVDs and they're all different.
Every DVD runs about 50 minutes.
