This was one of my favorite of all those cop shows at the time (it aired from 1993-'96 I believe). Did anyone else watch it?

Basically they'd air usually 4 stories. 3 would be in the style of COPS in that it was live footage of calls they went on. The last one would be a somewhat more instense/dramatic recreation of a more serious crime (i.e. high-speed chase, domestic disturbance, robbery) with narration.

One thing about it I always thought was superior to COPS was that it had little aftermaths on what happened to the suspects/victims, and seemed a little more exciting. I still have lots of these on tape, but I often only recorded the recreation one. I now wish I'd done the full episodes since it's not on TV anymore.

I remember this show yes.  I liked that Maury Hannigan guy.  He was a real police chief if I remember

Another good real life cop show was that one hosted by the white haired cop.  The name escapes me though

Yeah, Hannigan was the commisioner of the CHP and a good host. I liked his catchphrase, "What you're about to see is real", lol.

Another one I liked that was all-recreations, was Top Cops. Is that the one you're thinking of?

I remember Top Cops.  It wasn't that one, but it was also a good show yes!

It just came to me.  The show was "World's Wildest Police Videos" and was hosted by Sheriff John Bunnell

Yeah, he's a good narrator. I just hope that's not his normal speaking voice at home, though. ;D

I guess all the World's Wildest/Scariest... shows are like the newest police reality shows around. Although they originated in the late '90s, they rerun them all the time on various channels.

He does have a good voice yes.  If you ever saw the movie 'Bad Santa', he has a cameo role as one of the cops in the Dept. store scene at the end

They do still air in re-runs yes, though lately the only time I ever see them is when rain delays postpone Braves baseball games on TBS

I dunno, I'm not a huge fan of John Bunnell or "World's Wildest Police Videos."

a.) John Bunnell looks like he spends all his free time in the tanning booth.

b.) I hate how, whenever John Bunnell is seguing into the next video, there's a bunch of actors dressed as cops and bad guys in the background, as if we're supposed to believe that he's actually in front of a real crime scene.

c.) I hate how, whenever they show a video of a high-speed chase, they add all these phony sound effects to the video (and sometimes they speed up the footage as well) to try and make it more dramatic.

It does look so fake yes lol
