Police Squad: The Complete Series [Blu-ray]
Review by Suzanne Lanoue
4/1/20 |
This is one of my all time favorite comedy
shows, so I'm very glad to have it on Blu-Ray! I already
have it on regular DVD. Sadly, there were only six
episodes... but they were brilliant.
If you loved movies like "Airplane" and "The
Naked Gun," then you will love this, too. The "Naked Gun"
movies have the same characters, with just a few different
actors. O.J. Simpson replaced Peter Lupus in the movies.
Both actors were great in the roles (jail time not
withstanding). Leslie Nielsen stars in both as Lt. Frank
Drebbin.
The show is a great spoof of 60's and 70's
cop shows. I don't know why it got such bad ratings. We
loved it. It was long before "The Simpsons" and other
spoofing shows. I read that it was just ahead of its time.
That may be true, since the movies were very successful.
Don't forget to check out our "Police
Squad" page!
There are many wonderful features
for any fan to enjoy. This would make a great gift to any
comedy fan - especially one over 50.
