Langley Motorsports is dead after their cash cow, “Cops” has officially been canceled at Paramount Network.
MONSTER Energy Girl Run-Over By
Langley Motorsports!
EXCLUSIVE REPORTING HERE!
Definitive news that the series won’t return comes only four days after Hollwoods 'Variety', exclusively reported that it had been pulled from the schedule.
“Killing the gravy train that paid for Langley Motorsports!”
Langley Motorsports would not talk to Baja Racing News for the last two days as we were confirming the reporting.
"‘Cops’ is not on the Paramount Network and we don’t have any current or future plans for it to return”, a Paramount Network spokesperson said in a public statement.
The original decision to hold “Cops” was spurred by nationwide protests against police brutality following the killing of George Floyd by Minnesota police officers.
“Cops” originally launched on Fox in 1989 and has come under fire in recent years for its depictions of goose-stepping, military wannabee law enforcement goons and numerous nazi-style behind the scenes practices.
"The series started on the streets of Spring Valley California, before the 125 freeway was built over Sweetwater and Jamacha Boulevard". Our COPS Insider stated, starting a long history of the Langley era.
The series was the subject of a recent podcast hosted by Dan Taberski, “Running from Cops,” which chronicled hundreds of episodes of the show. Taberski and his team detailed instances where people were coerced into signing waivers and how production allows police to edit and remove anything that might paint them in a negative light.
Fox aired 25 seasons of “Cops,” pairing it with “America’s Most Wanted” on Saturday nights for 14 years. “Most Wanted” moved to Lifetime in 2011 and was eventually canceled. “Cops,” meanwhile, got a new lease on life in 2013 when Spike TV ordered new episodes and paired them with repeats. (Spike was rebranded as Paramount Network in 2018.)
An insider at Langley Motorsports, his cover identity "Pizza Management", finally spilled the beans. He's promised to tell us EVERYTHING and he's still inside the organization!
He's accepting the inevitable, "were done, this was a fat hog, but now its slaughter time".
He reported, "The Langley family has glorified itself recently under the banner of racing and motorsports".
Cops, the TV show, was created by Malcolm Barbour and John Langley, who tried unsuccessfully for several years, to get a network to carry the program. When a television writers' strike paralyzed the networks in the late 1980s, and forced them to find other kinds of programming, the young Fox Television network picked up the low-cost Cops program (which had no union writers).
Years ago, BajaRacingNews.com interviewed the original founder of the TV show, Malcolm Barbour about his venture, we'll go back to the tapes...
