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

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!

Sgt. Reed :
Still it was better than Prime Directives..

But to get back to the topic, sometimes Robo would just stand there when somebody would drive a forklift at him or shoot him with a plasma cannon or whatever.
Robo was DUMB in the series.. Neutral


Actually, I felt that Prime Directives had a lot more violence and action than The Series. And the introduction of another Robocop was just awesome in my opinion.

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

Can't help myself here... and no offense intended, but REALLY?! I mean it sounds like some producer saying: "what's better than Robocop? Well... how about 2 Robocop's!" but maybe that's just me...

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.

There are still some neat moments in Prime Directives, but all those things could have been crammed into one decent tv movie...not 4. and WTF is with half of the last film being about Robo walking up stairs. Like seriously, how was that ever supposed to be AWESOME???
