Suburban Cops Show to Debut This Fall on Fox HOLLYWOOD (DPI) - With fewer high-speed chases to film and a drastic drop in shirtless drunks beating their wives, Fox has taken to the streets of suburbia for its new show this fall. The pilot of Suburban Cops features the men and women of the Bedford, Ind., police department nabbing minivans going 39 mph in a 35-mph zone, giving warnings to drivers with one headlight and catching teens making out behind the Pizza Hut. One officer teaches a second-grade class how to dial 9-1-1, and McGruff the Crime Dog makes a special appearance. The show features state-of-the-art technology so the viewer can be inside the patrol car as it goes through the car wash and then circles the mall in search of loiterers. The highlight of the episode shows Capt. Mike Tanner ejecting an unruly attendee from the "Music in the Park" event, then enjoying an impromptu dance with a spirited senior citizen nearby. Fox seems confident that with the popularity of other "reality" television, the public is sure to love seeing officers doing everything from filling out forms in triplicate to checking out false alarms on home security systems. Promotional spots for the new show will have the slogan, "If you're not home in time to watch Suburban Cops, you're breaking curfew." (Reported by Buddy Fisher)
