Have you watched the pilot episode of J.J. Abrams’ Revolution yet? Yeah, it’s kind of a resident of “Mehsville, population none.” HOWEVER! It might get better, and even if it doesn’t? Look what J.J. Abrams has coming down the pike! From EW:

TV mega-producer J.J. Abrams has sold an action-packed buddy cop show to Fox that’s set in the near future, when all Los Angeles police officers are partnered with highly evolved human-like androids.

ROBOT COP!!! I loooooove robot cops. Because a) they tend not to beat you because… why should they? They’re robots! And b) if they need to kill you, they will. BECAUSE THEY’RE ROBOTS.

Naturally, I’m super excited about this show, and will be even more excited if it’s called “Robot Boat Cop.” Until then, here are quick peeks of two other robot cop shows they you may have forgotten, also courtesy of EW.

Friends‘ “Mac & C.H.E.E.S.E”

And Dick Wolf’s 1992 Mann & Machine

Bang bang, choo-choo train, let me see you shake that thang. Wm. Steven Humphrey is the editor-in-chief of the Portland Mercury and has held the job since 2000. (So don’t get any funny ideas.)

  1. It’d be cool if the human-like cops were of indeterminate gender. In other words… ANDROIDGYNOUS.

    Can I get two more Laurelhurst tickets for that? No? Not even if one is called… THE INDETERMINATOR?
