PREMISE: Part Cop. Part Cop. All Cop.

CHARACTERS: Alex Steadman was just an ordinary beat cop, until a horrifying clerical accident led to him being entered into the police department’s employee database twice. Now he has two badges, two guns, gets twice as many assignments with twice as much paperwork, and, when he retires, he’ll get double the pension. He’s no longer Alex Steadman, and he’s no longer just a cop: He’s CopCop.

Sandra Corrigan is CopCop’s partner and best friend, who, along with Felicia Rakowski, CopCop’s other partner and best friend, tries to keep CopCop from losing all traces of his humanity as he becomes more and more cop with each passing day.

CopCop’s archnemesis is RoboBot, a machine that’s half robot and half a different robot. Both halves of RoboBot are programmed for only one thing: crime.



NOTABLE EPISODE: CopCop pulls a double shift and makes quadruple overtime while investigating the case of a serial jaywalker (“Look Four Ways” – S09.E15).



CATCHPHRASE: “You’re under double arrest.”



TRIVIA/MISCELLANY: Roland Huxtable, the Swiss artist and sci-fi visionary, created concept art for the series. His early sketches for RoboBot were based on a dream he had about being menaced by sinister plumbing equipment, and his process for designing CopCop involved putting a police hat on top of another police hat.
