I don't think the show has aged well in 2020 because of how these kind of topics became much more sensitive due to incidents that happened recently. For example, the brutalities that happened over past decades, such as LA riot and George Floyd incident raised awareness of police brutality, and caused this topic to be a controversy between different factions.

I don't think the show has aged well to a 2020 audience because as time passes and new laws or regulations against race or culture have been made, they might not fit well in modern times. It could also be that the show reflects a different era/time period that might separate then from now.

I don't think the show aged well because it is a very controversial topic today and many people view cops differently so I believe that a 2020 audience would not like or appreciate the show. With everything going on today, such as George Floyd, many people are against the idea of police and would definitely be against this type of show. Police brutality is a major topic in society today and the differing opinions would cause conflicts.

I think that if the show was in this year it would be very controversial. With acab and blm(blue) going at each others throats the show would just be in the middle in this awkward position. People would just make the scenes in the show reasons to fight each other and overall the show would just be a big mess

I don't think that the show aged well to a 2020 audience because of the social movements that have occurred as a result of the present discrimination that continues to exist today. Especially today, a 2020 audience would not appreciate the portrayal of cops in this show because of the amount of protests that have been made against police brutality.

I think it didnt, because it makes some groups of people mad and that will cause other groups fight each other's opinion

My group said that the show has not aged well during 2020. We believe the reason for this is because of the police brutality issues in America and the Black Lives Matter movement. With the raised awareness of police brutality all though it may not be shown on the "Cops" show, the actions of other cops have caused for this show to not age well during this time.

I don't believe the show aged well. Time changes and people eventually have different opinions about a certain topic. What's considered right back then could be morally wrong nowadays and vice versa.

I don't think the show aged well in 2020 because of a lot of the stuff going this year. There are movements going on that are against police. Also the way police handle certain situations whether they handled it correctly or not.

I don't think the show has or will age well in 2020 because of the nature of the show and the new social movements that we've seen this year. I think the idea of a show showing the encounters of cops and everyday people would spark mass debate over the way people are treated or looked at by cops. The show could be used as evidence for or against cops surrounding it in mass controversy.

This show did not age well, as I was able to draw many parallels between the black lives matter protests occurring today and the scenes shown in the opening of this show. These protests have stemmed from the violence directed towards the black community from law enforcement agencies, which is what was being demonstrated on the intro the the show.

The show hasn't aged well to a 2020 audience because it might portray violence/injustice towards the black community and considering the recent circumstances, it wouldn't age well

The quality of the video and the music partly suggest to me that the show is aged.

I do not think this show aged well to a 2020 audience. We think that with all the movements about cops this show would bring some controversy. Also in the intro it only showed black people being arrested and I think that would also bring more controversy.

# data[].attributes.body
I don't think it has aged well because of the recent events that have been happening including the police, it may have not aged the best as it is a controversial subject that people have different opinions on.

# data[].attributes.body
it was a definite no to your question

# data[].attributes.body
I don't think the show aged well in 2020, because it will create controversy. There are lot of stuff going on with police brutality

# data[].attributes.body
I think the show did not age well due to the amount of things people have experienced and seen on media towards the end of this year. Despite being cancelled, I think this was done from full respect for the families that could have been affected by the hands of policemen.

I think the show has aged well because of it's ability to create a sense of drama or suspense. Compared to when it was popular, there is now a lot of controversy around police-related incidents, which would make this show more interesting.

# data[].attributes.body
I don't believe that this show aged well because, of the social issues that were going on this past years. With all the issues that were going on its was better to have the show canceled.

# data[].attributes.body
Although some depictions of the show may have been edited for entertainment purposes/could be accurate to real life, the issues of police brutality and race which stem from the "Cops" content would be a highly controversial issue, and is the reason why I believe the show has not aged well. The most important fact about all of this show was cancelled last summer, which is a huge indicator as to how this show's message conflicts with the overall sentiments of the public presently.

# data[].attributes.body
No it has not. While there has always been some sort of stigma surrounding cops because of police brutality, this year's events really gave visibility to those issues, and anti-cop sentiment heightened. Many people may feel that would be propaganda, glorifying the system and what cops do, and because most of the people in the intro happen to be Black/people of color which only pushes racial stereotypes, that they're more likely to be aggressive/criminals.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the show aged well in the sense that it shows how cops, I think the controversies show how it aged well because of how many people didn't know the bad side of cops.

The introduction of COPS aged better for adults then for children. The use of weapons may direct it to a much more mature audience. It may be too violent for some but may enjoy it as a show.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the show aged pretty well into a 2020 audience considering it was a year filled with riots against police but looking back at the show it should be taken into consideration that is a reality show.

When "defund the police" is a commonly used phrase that carries a negative connotation towards the police, I don't think a show about cops is going to go over so well in the public's eyes. Some people see the police negatively so seeing them on tv would make people mad.

# data[].attributes.body
Absolutely not.
In my group discussion, our conversation in the same direction: Cops did not age well because of the murder of George Floyd and the controversy surround the police force.
This is enforced by the imagery of African Americans being chased and arrested
