COP APPEAL
It was the good guys versus the bad guys in the video stores last week. The Mod Squad, the update of the juvenile felon-cum-detective TV series, was the only debut to crack the top 20, renting an average of 16 copies per location. But the top of the chart still belonged to the criminals, as Analyze This and Payback simply swapped positions in the lineup.
