Profile of Police Squad!
The mood of Police Squad! is humorous and witty. The plot centers around a TV show, a private detective, and a tough law enforcer. It features farce and silly humor. Police Squad! is a comedy, crime, and parody TV show. In approach, it is not serious and realistic. It happens in the 1980s. Police Squad! is especially suggested for teens and a boys' night.
Summary of Police Squad!
Though it only lasted for six episodes, the Zucker brothers' 1982 television series POLICE SQUAD! left a pop-culture legacy as the show that spawned the NAKED GUN movies. Displaying the same comic sensibilities as the Zuckers' AIRPLANE, HOT SHOTS, and TOP SECRET, the sitcom parodies serious police dramas through the zany crime-fighting antics of bumbling detective Frank Drebin (Leslie Nielsen, who lets the sight gags and double entendres fly with his trademark deadpan style).
