How about the fact that Frank spends most of the scene muttering to himself about an old possibly gay relationship with a PE teacher, and then lived with his son years later!
I like the scene where frank is talking outside the crime scene & in the background you can see them bringing out a body covered in a sheet on a stretcher, it is about 20 feet long & there are feet at both ends.
Definitely one of the funniest 2:24 in television, unless you spell "especially" as "esspeichally", "Cameras" as "camaras", and have no idea how to use capitalization, punctuation, and syntax; right DUDE!
@scott72able You are so right. I laugh by backside off evertime I watch it. The "we would have been here sooner, but your husband wasn't dead then." It just can't be beat.
Fantastic! I was a senior in high school in the fall of 1981 when this aired. My buddies and I would breathlessly discuss the show the next day in the lunchroom, repeating favorite lines over and over. We understood that there was NOTHING else like it on television. A rare event. Another great favorite episode was Drebin's undercover foray into standup comedy as Tony DaWonderful.
And the delivery! Not many actors get the chance to become a star at age 54. But after "Airplane!" (1980) Neilsen never again had to play bland second leading men or workmanlike roles as lawyers and sea captains. He worked in Hollywood for 25 years before the Zuckers found him, and the rest is comedy history.
I got hold of all 6 episodes a while back and this scene wasn't part of any of them, no mention of Little Italy or talking to Mrs Twice. There seems to be a lot of editing of these episodes, including changing Frank's scene/song where he is Tony D'Wonderful.

This is the best stuff ever, I love Police Squad! My buds call it low brow but it's pure comedy...it has great comedic timing and technique. The semi-seriousness with which they say their lines is fantastic,
"rode him out of town on a rail, like a common pig..."
The 'DON' funnyman. How he can say those lines so deadpan is just beyond me. He just cracks me up on the floor in a heap of uncontrollable laughter !!
Anyone else notice the Tower of Pisa out the window? Little Italy :p

"Did he have any enemies?" "The democrats didn't like him"

So funny...my favorite lines in anything ever apart from "Coffee?" "Yes I know" and it is all from police squad
