Max W @MaxthorWoo Aug 26 The perfect vessel for nonsensical humor — presented as stand-alone vignettes with no narrative burden, offering pure gag-driven fun, with laughs that stand the test of time. See more Johnathon W @Hoppynsc Jul 16 Hilarious and far too short-lived TV show that went on to inspired the "Naked Gun" franchise. Leslie Nielson is brilliant as Det. Frank Drebin, delivering a deadpan performance in this police spoof, somehow keeping a straight face despite all the mayhem going on. Behind the camera, the Zucker Brothers deliver a brilliant spoof series, packing in so many sight gags and jokes in every episode it will take multiple viewings to catch them all. Just a brilliant series from beginning to end, even at just six episodes. See more Lloyd S @Lloyd93 May 14 Absolutely recommended. It was funny to watch. This is where the naked guy trilogy born.

I loved some of the repetitive bits ... the shoeshine guy, the lab, the celebrity assassination cold open. See more Jonathan K @NojEsco 01/15/2021 Police Squad is only 6 episodes long, but it is 6 episodes of continuous humor, and expertly-crafted humor at that. Leslie Nielson, previously only known for drama and thrillers, plays the main character perfectly BECAUSE he never once makes it look like he's telling a joke - He plays it 100% straight, as if he's completely unaware that there's something funny taking place, and it sells the humor more effectively. The comedy itself is largely either visual humor or somewhat low-brow humor, but there are sudden bits of legitimately high-brow wordplay and observational humor thrown in as well, preventing the show from being purely Stupid-But-Funny. You can get through all 6 episodes in the time it takes to watch most Summer Blockbusters, so if you're a fan of classic-era rapid-fire comedy, I cannot recommend this enough.
