Cast profiles (Richard Eden, Yvette Nipar, Andrea Roth, Sarah Campbell, David Gardner)
In 1994, after three films in the franchise, the popular sci-fi action character RoboCop debuted in his own television series. Produced by Canada's Skyvision Entertainment, RoboCop: The Series starred Richard Eden in the title role. An 89-minute pilot aired in two parts in March, followed by 21 one-hour episodes. Aimed at a younger audience, the series dialed back the graphic violence of the first two movies and displayed a tone similar in feel to RoboCop 3. Many of the events and plot lines seen in the films were discarded, with RoboCop: The Series acting as a reset for the once human, now cyborg police officer.
