Canceled Too Soon #89 - Future Cop (1976-1978)

It's COPS WITH ROBOT PARTNERS month on CANCELED TOO SOON, and we're starting with a doozy. Oscar-winner Ernest Borgnine stars in FUTURE COP as a shabby beat cop whose new partner is a powerful android who can solve any crime, but doesn't understand the inner workings of the human soul.

In FUTURE COP, Ernest Borgnine and a robot cancel criminals' plans to commit murder, steal cars and rig boxing matches. But was this show... CANCELED TOO SOON? Film critics William Bibbiani delve into every episode of FUTURE COP to find out what works, what's broken, and why the show was successfully sued by sci-fi legends Harlan Ellison and Ben Bova for plagiarism.
