Police Squad [1/3]

The broken promise. One of the fantastic episodes of Police Squad shown in 1982 but is supposed to look like some cheesy 1970s police drama.

oh my god, this is just beyond all realms of the word funny.i cant take it. the music, the over the top, *on purpose* bad acting, the fact that the title doesnt match what the narrator says, leslies stone blank face when something absolutely fucking hilarious is happening, the insane story line, the word play, THIS is humour at its best, and gets real laughs every single time. an absolute joy to watch.

Also "then-ABC entertainment president Tony Thomopoulos said "Police Squad! was cancelled because the viewer had to watch it in order to appreciate it." What Thomopoulos meant was that the viewer had to actually pay close attention to the show in order to get much of the humor, while most other TV shows did not demand as much effort from the viewer."

And it tanked in USA.

ABC cancelled this show because it was "too visual for television" (I'm not kidding). No foresight of course because the movies w/the same characters went on to make MILLIONS. Thank goodness TV networks have gotten so much better w/reality shows. Please...MORE REALITY SHOWS!
