A lot of the elements from the films are here, including MediaBreak. Captain Cash was added, and although some of the lead characters are not the same, and new crooks (Dr. Cray Z. Mollardo - Cliff De Young and "Pudface Morgan" - James Kidnie), it's 100% Robocop.Richard Eden literally duplicated the role Peter Weller originated. In every episode, the OCP Tech guy adds one new gadget, an excuse to see Robo use it in the episode, like crowd control foam, and bolts that anchor him into the ground in case a truck comes barreling down. This show was high camp, but it worked. I was sad when it ended after one season, this show was Syndicated, it could have gone on longer. One of the more interesting things added, was "Neurobrain", a computer which runs all of Delta City, which started off as a woman, "Diana Powers" (Andrea Roth). She's Robo's ally, they have something in common, both were separated from their bodies. Yvette Nipar is Detective Lisa Madigan, who in this version of Robocop was Murphy's partner, rather than Anne Lewis (Nancy Allen). And of course they had to add a kid, "Gadget" (Sarah Campbell) who is adopted by Sgt. Parks (The great Blu Mankuma). Apparently "Gadget" was based on "Nikko" was Robo 3.Perhaps it was just too expensive to make this show, each episode has all kinds of animation (Commander Cash), fake news spots and commercials, and some really great special effects, much of it practical.The only thing that really differentiates this show from the Film Universe, is the lack of blatant bloodshed and maiming common to the film franchise (at least through Robo 2). But the show makes up for that loss with very insane concepts for crimes, which Robo has to solve.And of course, Robo's familiar one liners: "Come Quietly or there will be... Trouble". It's worth watching this after watching RoboCop and RoboCop 2.And somewhere, halfway through the season, the End Credits were rolled to the tune of some song sung by Joe Walsh and Lita Ford. I remember the last episode, had a video of the two artists performing the song. I haven't gotten to that one, yet.

Alex Murphy is Robocop, a cybernetic policeman. A creation of a vast corporation, he fights crime and occasional corporate conspiracy in the near-future of Old Detroit. I remember watching this when i was a kid i saw some episodes on DVD and some others on youtube i mean even Roddy Piper starred in one of the episodes there were some episodes not as great as others but there were some that were truly great i agree that is kinda campy and all that it's most direct to kids than adults but i'm fine with that honestly i don't get it why so many people are going crazy about it even Robocop 2 had some of the worst comedy i have ever seen in my life but nobody talks about that i also like the supporting cast Lisa Madigan is a great partner to Robocop and honestly as good as Lewis was Blu Mankuma also does a pretty good job and then Andrea Roth as who plays Neurobrain also Sarah Campbell did a pretty good job as Gadget and i big bravo to Richard Eden he did a pretty good job as Alex Murphy/Robocop my favorite scene is when he is run over a truck stands up pulls the chane and the bad guy goes threw the freaking glass that was epic especially with the soundtrack it's not like the classic but at least it's not like the sequels and last but not least the series is cheest especially the villains are kinda meh but it's based 100% to kids audiences and family audiences not mature audiences and even tho i loved the original i was entertained more than i was entertained with the sequels and i always had a crush on Madigan she was pretty badass the same goes for Diana.

Watch just the pilot was a shocking experience because: this was the first time in my life couldn't watch more than the first 5 minutes of movie or Tv show. The reason the horrible acting of every cast member (a bad acting can be resistible but a horrible acting...), the brainless script so childish as every power ranger episode. I love every robocop movie, but this bad copy of of the saga it could only serve as a lesson of what can be do to destroy an action hero. The most funny thing is: the lesson finally was learned and the other TV movies were so good as the first movies.

When evaluating a show like this, you really have to put things into perspective.Robocop: The series was filmed in Toronto, Ontario, Canada and is one of the best shows to come out of this country and into network sindication. (Other great shows include: Kung Fu: The Legend Continues, T and T, starring Mr. T, and My Secret Identiy, with a 13 year old Jerry O'Connel)All the actors in the show are local Toronto/Canadian actors, (now they do national tv shows and national lottery/car dealership commericals) so this was probably the only chance they got to be seen on television sets around the world. No, the show didn't live up to the standards set forth by the movies: lots of gore, the ED209 Combat Unit, sarcastic remarks (BANG!!..."Thank you for your cooperation...!") and a corrupt multi-million dollar corporation (OCP in this series is actually made to look a little more "friendly")But it really did try to stick close to the storyline, using scenes and references from the movies (ie all Robocop's functions and directives, the COBRA assault rifle) as well as keeping the wardrobe clsoe to that of the films. It had its own touch of originality (bringing in new ideas in terms of Alex Murphy's past...ie elaborating on the life of Nancy Murphy, his wife, Jimmy Murphy, his son, as well as Robocop's Parents). It contained "Mediabreak" featurettes, as well as the satirical humour of the commercials you would see in the movies (funny futuristic-product commercials, talk shows, etc). Yes some episodes were goofy, but most provided 52 minutes of great entertainment.Out of all the other Robocop TV duplicates that appeared over the years, this is by far the greater of them all. Definately a show not to miss.
