One officer that I thought was a jerk was Patrick Burke was Las Vegas. He stopped this older Hispanic guy in a convenience store parking lot for a taillight violation in a season 18 segment. The guy didn't know his taillight was out. Burke tells him to get out, but his cellphone rings and Burke tells him to hang up the phone and step out now. He does but starts to put his hand out of sight. It turns out, the guy had a jar of meth. When the suspect asks about his money, Burke tells him the money's now owned by Las Vegas in a smug tone. He's not nearly as bad as some of the other officers as seen, but he seemed to be a little condescending and impatient. I don't think the suspect is a good person, but even before he posed a potential risk to the officer, Officer Burke was already escalating the situation. I feel like Burke could have been slightly cooler with the guy.
Yes, you are correct. I think it might have been season 22.
Seasons 21-23 were all pretty much the same IMO. There were interesting segments, but these seasons were pretty average. Whoever picks up the series next hopefully are a little more old-fashioned segment-wise.
I remember the shirtless intoxicated guy at the convenience store. As much as I don't care for Lower, that guy was an even bigger jerk the whole segment. It all started because the clerk told him he couldn't buy more beer.
I wonder what changed in Lower from being somewhat funny in season 11 to being a jerk in later seasons.
It seems like some departments prefer screaming in an authoritative tone to stop a chase. I did notice that MacMichael said nothing to the suspect when he apologized.
There's not a whole lot of excessively bad seasons of the show. If I had to guess, Season 25 (the last season on FOX) might be the last great season. For the Spike/Paramount era, Season 27 was probably their best season. That was the season I started watching the show regularly.
In November of 2014. I Started watching full episodes on Spike's website. I started watching it even more whenever Spike aired it on linear TV. Since I started getting into the show, later on, I never saw the early seasons. Season 10 in Nashville is about the earliest I've seen.
I never had a problem with Officer MacMichael. He always seemed to be fairly calm in situations and never had a temper that I noticed.
One season 16 episode with Deputy Lower that ticked me off was the one where he stopped a suspicious vehicle and found crack pipes. The way he treated both suspects made me angry. First, he got angry because one of the suspects didn't do exactly what he wanted. Then, he scolded one of the suspects because he called Lower a dude and said if he called him a dude again, "We're going to have a problem". Lastly, he said to one of the suspects in an intimidating tone, "You've got 30 seconds to tell me who's drugs it is or you're going to jail". He actually was a little funny in season 11 with the "America's Dumbest Criminals" statement.
Voiret once said in a segment that he would retire if the job was no longer interesting. In the segment where he arrested the man in the wheelchair, he apparently was run over by the same suspect in his wheelchair in a different altercation. I too wish he appeared in later seasons.
I liked deputy Voiret. He appeared in some interesting segments, including the man in a wheelchair who assaulted the convenience store clerk, the man who refused to pay his bar tab, tho woman who hit her boyfriend with a knife, and the man who rearranged the furniture at the woman's segment. He was very calm in intense situations. I can't imagine how fellow deputy Jeff Lower would handle something like this. He'd probably be more aggressive. That was a very funny segment.
He got sentenced to 45 years for his crime spree. He was pretty much a career criminal based on what I read.
The one man from the 2007 Kansas City segment who nearly killed the one officer in a shootout. He was also a carjacker and murdered someone in cold blood days earlier. I was happy to see him get bit by the K9 in the garage. At least the officer wasn't injured too bad.
Was that the segment which started with the driver spinning his tires, and then he and the officer talking about classic cars and how he used to own a Grand Torino? If so, the driver almost got a ticket but talked himself into going to jail by getting mouthy. I thought he was just going to get a ticket. I really liked the cop in the segment. He was very cool with both suspects.
The new season starts next Monday. I'm sure they could still film, but with extra precautions like masks and social distancing.
I really like Pete Enderle from Hamilton County, OH who appeared in several season 17 episodes. He seems like a good guy and has a great sense of humor. Two of my favorite segments include the one where he helped the woman with getting the snake out of her house. I also liked the one with the man in the gorilla suit. I also like William Hutchinson from Palm Springs because he handles intense situations very lightly and also has a sense of humor sometimes.
Yeah, the fact that the deputy lied was the worst part. He usually was a detective catching drug dealers/sellers in the other Broward County episodes.
The man from Boise in season 19 who made threats to a woman and stalked her repeatedly.
I feel like some of the North Las Vegas cops from Seasons 21 and 24 are a bit on the condescending side.
The one from Broward County from season 21 where the guy was stopped for cutting the deputy off. The man gets nervous and is shaking throughout the segment. The man admits he's nervous because he was in possession of some weed. The deputy told him if he was honest, he was only getting a ticket. The deputy finds the small amount and tells him he's going to jail. In the end, one of the suspect's classmates arrives as a backup officer. The suspect, despite the nervousness, seemed to be so cool and polite and honest and was living a good life as a nurse. That guy should have just gotten a ticket. I felt very sorry for him.
