Marginally a "straight" police drama in the Jack Webb/Quinn Martin school, Police Squad occurs in a strange universe where everything is taken literally (when a name "rings a bell" we hear bells go off every time someone mentions it), non sequiturs occur (a mime tries to spell out a ransom note, and Officer Nordberg guesses "Theme From a Summer Place") and sight gags abound (while looking for a corpse, someone wants to know the time and the dead man's hand drops out of a tree). —<scrow@chop.isca.uiowa.edu>

Ah... there'll be a 5 minutes recess...
Police Squad? Yes, it is.
I guess this is the most classic and beyond time comedy show ever.
Sadly underrated.
Still laugh every time I watch it. Still fresh after 23 years.
But it's still ignored by public, even after the Naked Gun movies.
Original and intelligent, it's not for anyone.
I can't say there's anything bad in this show, it was precious.
Well, except the fact it lasted only 6 episodes.
If you didn't watch it, do it, pay attention and feel yourself "smart".
But don't call me Shirley...
