Donny Ferguson Retweeted

Leslie Nielsen died OTD in 2010.
Only 6 episodes of Police Squad (1982) were made.
The joke rate is astounding, it hits genius level several times during each episode.
Police Squad is pure TV comedy gold.

I can still remember a dumbass ABC exec saying that part of the reason the show didn't do better and was axed was because you actually had to watch the show. You couldn't fold laundry or give the kids a bath. Nope, you had to actually pay attention. Perish the thought

I'm glad they had the sense to do the first movie, though I didn't care much for either sequel.
