Very Funny. Sorry there were not more episodes.

"Police Squad" is a television comedy classic starring the incomparable Leslie Nielsen and featuring the absurdist humor of Zucker, Abrahams, and Zucker, creators of "Airplane!" and "The Naked Gun" films. With countless jokes and sight gags in every episode, you really have to pay attention to catch them all. This Blu-Ray contains the entire six episode run of the series, which, I think, was just the right amount, because even with just six half-hour episodes, it was obvious the creators were in danger of running out of ideas, and I honestly don't know how they could have kept it up for an entire 24 episode run of a typical television series. Picture and sound quality are exceptional. It appears the high definition transfers were taken directly from the original 35mm film masters, and the image is sharp and clear with minimal grain removal and excellent contrast and color reproduction. There are two audio tracks, the original mono mix used for broadcast, and a new multichannel mix. I watched with the latter and found the dialog was clear and intelligible with a good balance between music and sound effects.

The only time in history where an unsuccessful television show gets the go ahead to become a successful movie franchise. POLICE SQUAD failed, according to some, because it required the television viewing audience it's undivided attention to absorb all the jokes (verbal and visual). Remember, the creators of this show are the same people who brought AIRPLANE! to the movie screens. The show starred the brilliant Leslie Nielsen as Detective Frank Drebin who probably got the part because of his outstanding performance on AIRPLANE, and then reprised the role for the NAKED GUN/FILES FROM POLICE SQUAD films. The show was released on VHS tape a few years back (on 2-separate video tapes). Finally, the series (all six episodes) are collected on one DVD package. To this viewer, the show still retains the hilarity when it was first aired over 20 years ago. However, its the opening credits and the end credits of each of the episodes which are the most memorable. In each of the episodes, the opening credits there would announce a special guest star who is killed off as soon as their name is mentioned. Who can forget Florence Henderson being riddled with bullets as she sings "Put on a Happy Face" during a cooking show sequence, William Shatner being poisoned at a restaurant dinner sequence, and Lorne Green falling out of moving vehicle with a knife in his chest. Then, the end credits of each episode would parody all those sitcoms and dramas when the shows would end with a still frame of the characters of the program in various poses with the credits and theme music running. POLICE SQUAD would do the "still frame" with the characters (usually taking place at the police headquarters office , but its not the film that is stopped, it is the actors themselves trying to stay still while various activites around them are still going on. In one ending, as Drebin and his partner Ed (actor Alan North)are in a freeze position, a chimpanzee is jumping around throwing up the papers from the desks in the office. On another, a prisoner tries to escape and ends up trying go out of the tv viewers screen. Then, in a hilarious one, actor Peter Lupus (MISSION IMPOSSIBLE) as Norberg (played by OJ Simpson in the films) walks in on Drebin and Ed in their freeze poses and goes into several poses himself as the end credits and music are playing. These two concepts of the show (the opening and closing sequences) are what made POLICE SQUAD memorable and these concepts were never translated onto the big screen versions.

this was a wonderful addition to my collection it sits on my TV series shelf proudly

If you’re a fan of this type of humor- Naked Gun, Airplane, Kentucky Fried movie etc then this is right up your alley! Loved seeing these episodes again after so many years.

Mine was a former library copy. You can also get this in a box set with the three movies for a reasonable price. I already owned all three, so I got this to complete the collection. The Zucker-Abrams-Zucker team were always a fun part of my childhood from Airplane to Top Secret. This series had a short life on TV, but has lived on as a cult hit with fans of midwestern style comedy, which can have a mix of absurdity & dry delivery that sneaks up and tickles your funny bone. It played on so many cliches & tropes from the popular police dramas of the day. I can't wait to sit down & watch this with friends & family when we need a good laugh.

Awesome precursor to the Naked Gun Movies. Hard to find on streaming services. A must for lovers of the franchise.

Solo in inglese da vedere e rivedere per farsi delle belle risate con la star leslie Nielsen

Brutal! Que recordação incrível!

Was a gift but sadly for someone who died a few months ago. Recently watched it with my friend in stitches laughing as it's so funny, a classic. You have to be in the mood, but if you loved the Airplane series with Leslie Nielsen, you'll love this ! Price good, delivery good.

Zigarette? Ich weiß.

Plus drôle que les films de la série « Y a t’il un flic » dont ils sont inspirés. Une série incontournable pour les fans de comédie des années 80-90.
