RoboCop: The Series is a 1994 television series based on the film of the same name. It stars Richard Eden as the title character. Made to appeal primarily to children and young teenagers, it lacks the graphic violence that was the hallmark of RoboCop and RoboCop 2. RoboCop has several non-lethal alternatives to killing criminals, which ensures that certain villains can be recurring. The OCP Chairman and his corporation are treated as simply naïve and ignorant, in contrast to their malicious and immoral behavior from the second film onward.

Cyborg cop Alex Murphy, with his partner Officer Anne Lewis fight to save the city of Old Detroit from assorted rogue elements, and to reclaim aspects of his humanity.

After serious budget cuts threaten department funding veteran Sheriff Joseph J. Jenkins takes an opportunity to have his department featured on a national reality TV series. The TV crew follows the daily musings of department rejects Richard (Rick) Riverson and James (Jim) Johnson whom to date have never solved a crime, though are quite infamous in their local community.
