Classic TV Theme: Future Cop

A headline out of the AP today (Feb 16 2021): "Alabama researchers working on robots to be used by police". What better time to recall the strange history of 'Future Cop'. It began as an ABC movie, establishing the premise of a long-time cop (Ernest Borgnine) being paired up with an android. A series followed but nobody watched and it disappeared after six episodes. Then for some reason it reappeared a year later as a movie special on NBC called 'Cops and Robin'...even though the robot was still named 'Haven' as before! Harlan Ellison had got his fingers in the pie somewhere along the line claiming they stole his idea and got a settlement out of it. While this was going on another Cop+Robot show 'Holmes and Yo-Yo' was slightly more successful (it lasted 13 episodes though it didn't get revived a year later). With only six regular episodes 'Future Cop' managed to have two different opening sequences: one with a narrator explaining the concept, the other with just visuals and music. You'll see both plus the end credits. Music by JJ Johnson.
