* CriticalResearchFailure: In "The Case of the Brilliant Berserko", Berserko exclaims "I'll capture the C.O.P.S., or the circumference of a circle isn't pi r-squared!" Except... That's the area of a circle. The circumference of a circle is 2 pi r.

* BizarroEpisode: While most of the advanced technology in the series can be accepted as being futuristic, "The Case of the Midas Touch" delves more into straight-up fantasy. It features a glove that can [[MidasTouch turn anything it touches into gold]], and is heavily implied to be magical to some degree.

* FairForItsDay: Yes, the series was terribly written, but a 1980s WesternAnimation series with an African-American lead character who is indisputably in charge and more than one female member (among both the C.O.P.S. and the criminals) in the main cast was progressive for its time.

* WhatAnIdiot: Berserko. Though the DrugsAreBad episode "The Case of the Lowest Crime" [[Administrivia/TropesAreTools is a surprisingly positive case]] [[GodzillaThreshold because it results in the other villains forming an]] EnemyMine to catch the dealer [[EvenEvilHasStandards whom they had already refused to work with]].

Moving to work page as Future Society Present Values.


* SocietyMarchesOn: Could Mainframe's sexual misconduct in the workplace towards Mace be a reflection of such behavior being more tolerated in the era in which the cartoon was made (and was it actually more tolerated back then?) than in the 21st century, in which it is set?

** It's quite hilarious to see the ridiculously advanced technology in the setting nowadays when 2020 has come and gone without such things being created. It's quite ridiculous to think that this series is now technically set in the past.
* MoralEventHorizon: Addictem trying to sell dangerous drugs to little girls.

* HilariousInHindsight:
** A [[Series/WalkerTexasRanger Texas Ranger named Walker]]? Kids, can we say, "Low-hanging fruit"? Even more hilarious when one realizes ''C.O.P.S.'' and its Texas Ranger named Walker debuted ''five years'' before that other guy.
** This series would not be the only time that a [=DiC=] cartoon series [[WesternAnimation/CaptainPlanetAndThePlaneteers would do a rather blatant episode]] [[DrugsAreBad about drugs]], although the second time would be MUCH darker than this one went.
** The speed suits Dr Badvibes created would become a major plot point of ''Film/GIJoeTheRiseOfCobra''.
* RetroactiveRecognition: Creator/TabithaStGermain [[note]] Credited under the alias of "Paulina Gillis" [[/note]] was the voice of Ms. Demeanor and several one shot characters.

* TearJerker: "The Case of The Blitz Attack". Even if you're not a dog person, you'll have a lump in your throat watching this episode. (Issue #5 of the comic, while almost identical, was even worse.)
* WhatAnIdiot: Berserko.
