Trivia

Was the last time that David Graf played the role of Tackleberry. Graf died in 2001. In the series, Tackleberry had two nephews in the Academy. His character was very watered down compared to the movies though as Tack had inexplicably replaced his love of guns with "paintball" firearms instead.

User Reviews

Just about what you'd expect

and even less. The first movie of the series wasn't all that bad, but it was "Citizen Kane" compared to the turdballs that followed it. This thing's even worse. The only reason I watched it was because of Joe Flaherty from "SCTV," who I've always been a fan of. Guess this proves that nobody's perfect. I don't know how long this series lasted, but I didn't last past 15 minutes into the first episode. Absolutely painful. Yuk.
