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.
This time the future RoboCop is defending Delta City from a scarred maniac. A killer calling himself the Dogtown Ripper is killing thousands of people and stealing their brains. A trouble making pre-teen becomes the foster daughter of Stanely Parks. A secretary is killed but her spirit lives inside the computer mainframe.
Old Detroit becomes flooded with FUN, a narcotic that "removes all sense of guilt", while Murphy's son is recruited by the street gang responsible for the drug.
Murphy is torn between upholding the law and helping his family after his wife is arrested for leading a protest against OCP's privatized welfare system.
A new space shuttle with an international crew is set to launch, but the fuel it carries onboard is experimental. Robocop must fight his way through the world of corporate scandals and cover-ups in order to prevent a major disaster from occuring.
A bomber is on the loose in Detroit, and even though OCP deploys a new bomb squad to deal with the situation, former police officer Russel Murphy, father of Alex Murphy, cannot stand by and watch. Robocop and Murphy (who is skeptical about working with a machine) team up to try and stop madman Felix Weber before Michigan finds itself in the state of Nuclear Winter.
