Libramedi Intense, gripping, stylish and poignant

Plustown A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

Neive Bellamy Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

Abegail Noëlle While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

keelhaul-80856 Leslie Nielson was very underrated.This show was funnier than 90% of what has been on TV or in comedy films for 20 years.He always hits a trashcan with his squad car.The sightgags are great. You always find something new.The jokes are corny, but Leslie's straight-faced seriousness makes it funny.The guest stars are killed or forgotten immediately, though they were big names like William Shatner LOL.This show doesn't take anything seriously, and it is so bizarre and dark, that you have to laugh. Guys getting off an elevator and Indians are shooting arrows inside as if they are in a Western. The cops destroy an entire car before deciding to look in the glove box, where the coke was the whole time.The names are like the ones from Austin Powers or James Bond, with stupid innuendo, but it works.A mime is thrown through a window to deliver a ransom message.Peter Lupus says he is going to tap the phones, and installs a beer tap. Then describes to the grieving parents that their daughter is probably already mutilated or dead or something. LOL.This show was given only a few episodes?!?!?! I was so disappointed when my parents showed it to me years ago, and there were no more after episode 6. We got the Naked Gun movies, but the show was brilliant, and guaranteed to make you laugh.

hellraiser7 Parodies are my favorite genre in comedy because it's not just about turning something familiar upside down but also it contains creative freedom where just about anything can happen. This is another childhood relic of mine, I remember seeing this show when I was about 8. Despite how short the show really was it really left an impression on me, it was the first parody comedy I've ever seen and if it wasn't for this show I wouldn't of gotten into the Naked Gun films.The show really was one of the parodies that really helped pave the way for the many other parody shows like the Adult Swim shows "Childrens Hospital", "Eagleheart", "Robot Chicken" as well as the underrated "Garth Melagei's Darkplace" and "The Spoils of Babalyon".There really isn't a lot I can say for this show, it's basically a parody on all the cop and detective shows from long ago to the late seventies. I love the theme song it's one of my favorite themes because it's just fun and just spews cop action.Each episode is just great all of them are rich in both visual and verbal humor, they cleverly make fun of all of the clichés in the usual shows and turn most of them on their head. It would honestly take more than one watch to get them all but their there.Like the beginning it always advertises a special guest for each episode but then seconds later they die from one reason or another. It's funny because sometimes that happens whenever guests are on a TV episode, they'd either get killed off or forgotten the next day. Or even at the end of each episode everyone is on pause except for the suspect whom is still moving and is both escaping and steeling things while everyone is in that mode, I can't help but crack up because it really breaks the convention of everyone on pause.But of course what really powers this show is the late great Lesile Nelsen. This guy is one of the king actors of parodies along side with Mel Brooks since both have acted in more than one of them. Frank Drebin is my favorite role from him. It's just hilarious how much he plays it straight despite so much craziness going on around him and he of course contributes to it. From his deadpan delivery, it's hard for me to keep a straight face because in most of those shows back then all cop characters always delivered dialog in a rather fast strange manner most notably "Dragnet". But what also makes Frank stick out is the fact is in his unorthodox and absurd methods of dealing with things, or just plain clumsiness or stupidity. For example in a shoot out scene in an episode one crook uses a civilian as a human shield, but then Frank then does the same thing. I find it blackly funny because it's not something you'd expect to happen.The only bad thing about the show is simply that it was too short, it would of been cool to see it have the long haul treatment, I would of liked to see what more trouble Frank Drebin gets into. Yeah, I know we have the "Naked Gun" films but still it's just not quite the same; but oh well.Overall, if your a fan of the parody genre then this show is worth checking out, it's arresting hilarity.Rating: 4 stars

daworldismine police squad is the debut of frank drebin played hilariously by leslie nielsen who would later have 3 movie(the naked gun trilogy) and is as hilarious here as he is in the hilarious movies, the six episodes that were made are hilarious gag filled spoofs in the vein of airplane and ofcaurse the naked gun movies, they are all hilarious and classic leslie nielsen, sadly the show was cancelled after just 6 shows as people had to 'watch it' to get it, but the 6 epsisodes here are classics and hilarious and still hold up years later. the DVD is great too and is full of special features about the show, so pick up this and the naked gun trilogy and witness the adventures of the funniest character in media history.

vagabondjonson This predecessor to the Naked Gun movies is some of the most intelligent stupid humor ever. There are no lengths that the Zuckers wouldn't go for a gag. I call the humor "stupid humor" not because it's actually stupid but it's not high brow enough to be sophisticated comedy but it's way too good for the masses who this sort of show will miss. So in lieu of a better name, I call it stupid or "spoof" comedy. Some of the routines in this short series were so good, you'd have to watch them two or three times to take in all the comedy. This series is considerably better than more recent "spoof" movies because the clichés that this series is lampooning come from years of TV shows and movies from numerous genres rather than lampooning one other movie which if you haven't seen the one being parodied, those sorts of spoofs miss their mark. This show is dynamite and Leslie Nielson is a riot every episode.
