I was surprised to see how low the ratings for this movie was, while not a classic it's not exactly Freddie Got Fingered either. It's very much in the eighties, starring three siblings of more famous movie stars (although the first time I saw it I thought Deputy Halik *was* Stacey Keach) and Sally Kellerman in a somewhat undignified role, but it doesn't seem anyone's trying to upstage the show.
The plot revolves around a group of miscreants trying to take traffic school to get their licenses and cars back from a mean hearted cop. Lots of funny episodes, and bit player actors you saw all over the place in the eighties but who seemed to have gone away, along with the four times natural size multi-colored hair of that era.
The final episode seems like a try to recapture the manic rush of The Blues Brothers but doesn't quite succeed. Still, there's a lot worse ways to spend a few hours of your time.
