The TV movie-of-the-week Future Cop airs on ABC, starring Ernest Borgnine (McHale’s Navy), Michael J. Shannon, and John Amos (Good Times), involving a veteran LAPD cop who is assigned a rookie trainee who turns out to be an android. The movie achieves a high enough rating to return as a short-lived series in 1977, though the show will also become the subject of a lawsuit over its premise.
