“There are 8 million stories in the Naked City. Here are six.” That’s the blurb on the hilarious DVD of Police Squad!. These are the same folks who gave us Airplane! and The Naked Gun series: David Zucker, Jerry Zucker, and Jim Abrahams.n I love Leslie Nielsen as Detective Frank Drebin. Special Features include an interview with Leslie Nielson, a gag reel, and commentary on the six episodes in this package. I bought this DVD (150 minutes) for $6.99 at BJ’s Warehouse. Worth every penny! GRADE: A
I used to love this and absolutely split my sides when I went to see the first NAKED GUN movie – it’s been decades since I saw it, but very nice to know it’s available, thanks George.
Sergio, I loved POLICE SQUAD! and the NAKED GUN series, too. Fun stuff!
I have this series on DVD. Classic stuff.
Bill, these episodes still make me laugh. Classic is right!
I loved the way Nielsen re-invented his career. Great stuff.
And don’t call me Shirley!
Jeff, you’re right about Leslie Nielsen making the most of his late-career opportunities.
This was a lot of fun. Don’t seem able to make shows like this now.
Patti, most of contemporary comedy is drenched in sex (like Amy Schmer’s style) or snarky (like Jim Gaffigan). Leslie Nielsen’s brand of humor is non-existent today
There’s still some farce, such as GALAVNT, though I haven’t tried that, or the miniseries parodies on IFC, which are pretty good. But I like Schumer and Gaffigan a lot.
Todd, Amy Shumer and Jim Gaffigan are hot right now. Their brand of humor attracts audiences.
The word I apply is “silly”. So I’ll skip
Rick, sometimes I’m in the mood for “silly” and that’s when I’ll watch POLICE SQUAD!
