[post_page_title]Police Squad![/post_page_title]
Police Squad! was a cop show parody in the ’80s, from creators Jim Abrahams and David and Jerry Zucker. Leslie Nielsen starred as Lt. Frank Drebin, and as you can imagine – it was extremely funny. Or maybe it was too funny?
Apparently, they fired jokes in a spinning pace, making viewers work to understand the jokes. ABC’s president later said in an interview that “the viewer had to watch it to appreciate it.” Perhaps you could say it was premature for its time, when shows like The Love Boat and Happy Days were popular. But later on, a series of parody movies based on the show – the Naked Gun! films – became highly successful.
