Police Squad! is one of those shows that fair didn’t catch the chance it deserved. The point to skewered, among other targets, the Quinn Martin crime shows of the 1960’s and 70’s (The Fugitive, Cannon, The Streets of San Francisco, etc.) . Leslie Nielsen, who had guest starred on many of the shows Police Squad spoofed, was hilariously perfect. With his deadpan delivery, it was a perfect follow-up to the career altering path Nielsen had forged with his performance in Airplane.

But as fitfully droll and clever as it was, Police Squad!, for some reason, couldn’t pull in the audiences that had flocked to stare Zucker/Zucker/Abrahams’ Airplane objective two years earlier. The series suffered from extreme ratings from the inaugurate and never found its audience. One of the running gags on the present was the introduction of a “special guest star” who was immediately killed off in the some disagreeable fashion fair after the introduction. Lorne Green, William Shatner, Georg Stanford Brown and Florence Henderson were among the guest stars who were shot, stabbed, machine-gunned and poisoned. Unfotunately, the guest star for the sixth episode was John Belushi who died apt before the episode was to air. ABC had to pull the reveal until a unique introduction could be filmed. Apt after that, the series was cancelled after impartial six episodes, cutting short the race of one of the funniest series of all time.
Fortunately, the team of Zucker/Zucker/Abrahams resurrected the Police Squad! series in the perform of the Naked Gun series in the leisurely 1980’s. The premise, and Leslie Nielsen, finally got the exposure it deserved and the result was three hilarious films that did very well at the box office. However, when the three films were released on DVD, there was no corresponding release of the unique series on DVD.

Now, finally, the recent series is coming to DVD on November the 7th. Hopefully many will remove the DVD and realize what a crime it was for ABC to execute this hilarious series so soon.
I’ve been waiting for this to approach out on DVD for many years now. This is hands down my well-liked TV series of all time - albeit a very short lived one. As many writers have already well-known, the entire “series” consists of only 6 episodes. But rest assured that these 6 short episodes are packed with wit. This is a explain that you have to pay attention to - there are many visuals gags and plays on words. It’s wonderful.
I’m delighted to finally have the chance to retract this in a digital format. As great as I liked the Naked Gun films, they fair weren’t the same. For me, Police Squad will always be Leslie Nielsen and Alan North (with Rex Hamilton as Abraham Lincoln, of course!) .
If you’re a fan of any of the Zucker, Abrahams, Zucker films (e.g. Airplane, Naked Gun, etc.) then you definitely should judge adding this to your collection. It’s definitely some of their best work in my humble belief.
