Not strictly a cop show, but I've said before that I considered "24" to be one of the greatest examples of propaganda ever made. I remember my liberal friends unwilling to miss an episode, and talking more and more about the need to "protect ourselves from the terorists". It was somewhat surreal. And frightening. P.S. Seriously, I'm not sure Bush, Cheney, et al. could have gotten so far down the slippery slope (with many of that bunch sliding willingly) or brought the country with them, without "24". Whether or not the producers of "24" directly intended this.
