I was a big fan of this T.V. series in the 80's. I still love it, but my young son has turned into a really big Police squad fan.
Naked Gun: The TV Show 5 out of 5 stars.

This short-lived series is a little bit of a mixed bag, varying from hilarious to strained, but that's the nature of this kind of mad-cap, "throw all your jokes at the wall and see what sticks" style. However there are enough jokes both overt and subtle that pay off to make this a worth-while watch. If you loved the Naked Gun movies, many of the jokes from those movies were taken from this series, so you will see a lot of "reused" gags, despite the fact that they were used here first. But it's easy enough to forgive the creators that kind of self-plagiarism.
snappy lines 5 out of 5 stars.

The humor is great, though a little repetitive. The lines are quick, clever and funny.
Proof that sometimes failure is but a version of wild success. 5 out of 5 stars.

I remember watching this show during its short run on television. Loved it then.
Those who couldn't stand the show were too busy looking for the familiar. You needed to keep your eyes open and your expectations in check. The fact that the show was willing to skewer EVERYTHING (from the bad driving of the stars to the repeated use of jokes to the end-shot poses which seemed to fall into various states of disorder by the end of the jingo) made this a memorable show even as it was unceremoniously (??) canceled halfway through the season.
If you can handle unexpected stupidity, buy the CD. You will enjoy it. Repeatedly.
