WORST moments in "RoboCop the Series"

Zentron · :

Personally, I would take all the 22 episodes and whittle them down to just 13, getting rid of as many episodes starring Pudface as possible.. a few little edits here and there, to get rid of as much cheese as possible too!

Most of the episodes that weren't all that good are from the last half of the season's run - Mothers Day, Sisters In Crime, Robo v Commander Cash, etc. all are poor episodes (and that's being polite). Compared to those episodes I almost welcomed Pudface and the other recurring villains, though that was still pretty crummy too.

There were some good episodes late in the run like Heartbreakers and Nanno but it's still fairly clear they were running out of good ideas the further they went.

I always found strange the fact that Robo´s arm falls when he catches with his hand a grenade in Zone 5. It should destroy his hand or something, but not deatach his arm without any damage... Laughing

Cartoon violence, man.

As much as I love The Series, there are still parts that I hate...
In the Heartbreakers episode, the scene where Robo gets shot by the power-enhanced Heartbreaker and shoots it back using reverse polarity. It was just one of those WTF moments
In the Corperate Raiders episode, Robo gets his helmet knocked off like it was nothin xD
The entire RoboCop vs. Commander Cash ep was a joke.
And is it just me or does every time Robo tags someone he always shoots em in the ass? O.o Must be a bad habit originating from the first movie, eh? *wink wink*
There are a lotta scenes that I hate but I've forgotten em... I guess that gives me a good excuse to watch it again

I'm one of the minorities who really enjoyed The Series. I'm thankful the TV version had to tone down the violence. So when I have to look away from the screen, it's only out of embarrassment..

I accepted RoboCop vs. Commander Cash to be a fun and cartoony episode. I knew I must take this ep very lightly when RoboCop is seriously confused as to what Cartoon Law is. Anyway, I thought it was a neat plot device to transmit Commander Cash's animated back story through RoboCop's interface spike.

My least liked episode is Inside Crime. The plot is blah, and Pudface is annoying. But this ep has one shiny gem in it where RoboCop was on fire. He's moving about, rescuing a bunch of workers, while he is still ablaze. The stunt seemed to go on longer than in R3.

The worst bits of The Series I find are in a couple production details.

I hate it that I can tell when RoboCop's stunt double is on screen. Robocop's face suddenly looks...puffy. It's as if Robo took a deep breath and held it. The stunt double even steps in just to fire the auto-9, ugh.

I also hate it when it was obvious RoboCop is wearing rubber or vinyl gloves. The gloves made the fingers bend and flex in weird ways. His hands are supposed to look like metal, damnit!

Ehmm.... every single one? Laughing

Honestly... I bought the box-set when it came out, and watched the first episode, and I just could not get myself to continue to watch more episodes, I felt it just harmed the good image I still have of Robocop.

Kinda reminds me of PD... oh dear

So... back on topic, my most despised moments from the series would have to be when Robocop casually kidnaps the Old Man to show him how people live in old Detroid (really? Robocop rules OCP now?) andpretty much everything concerning the magical face transforming cream.

Gadget could be the single reason this show was so bad...

Other than that, too much focus on the Murphy family. There were some decent episodes with the folks, but mostly Nancy and Jimmy stories were corny at best.

"I don't know if you remember me, you got me out of some trouble..."
No Shit, kid. He's only your father. Did we really need a flashback to remind us that Jimmy and Robo have a special bond? No!

Don't get me wrong, some of the family stories were ok, but it could've been handled better. But we're talking TV standards of the early 90's. So not the same now. Imagine this series made just 2 years after...
It could've been so much better.

For all my qualms and peeves about this show, "This one's for America", it wasn't so bad. In fact, I just watched a few of them a couple days ago.

I mean, I love cheese, but at times, it's not worth watching it all the way through.
Some of the better episodes, and there are few, were in the last part of the season.

But, that budget, top-notch.

This show was the APEX of the entire series ( Movie, shorts etc combined ), and made a much more reasonable RoboCop. I loved every ( if not most moments of it ) moment of it. It also more like real officers then a blasted movie.

I will admit, it was made for women, and like Lois and Clark, many of the episodes revolved around pro-women activities.

Another thing that annoyed me for every episode that invovled a gang or group, or even neighborhood watch they would bring out the same damn vehicles ( usually Jeeps, and those terrian bikes ), but they would
repaint them, put stickers on them, or dress them up. I get so tired of seeing the same exact cars being used over and over and over again for every street gang type. The only excuse was maybe the OCP cars blah blah

the only thing that bothered me, was the cartoony nature of some of the villians. Yes this show is made for married women, but not every bad person has to be a silly clown type. Specifically the two villians from the first movies.

Otherwise this series was fun and basic. I really like how they intergrated his father into the series, and gave the viewers a coperate criminal who was a woman for a change. As you expect she has a bunch of milk boys she cries to, spanks, hit, and etc just like "Mom" from "Futurama". Then she gets off, with her hand, when she jacks into the net. They even make her "boys" have the nation she is getting off to investing in the stock market. We need more corporate women characters.

Otherwise the TV portion of the series was great.

Gadget was not bad at all, it gave the police station a good atmosphere.
