S1E1: Police Squad!

"The Naked Gun" movies were huge in the late '80s to mid '90s but what most people don't know is that we first met Detective Frank Drebin years prior with the short lived show "Police Squad!". Police Squad! is a classic comedy television series that originally aired in 1982. Created by the renowned duo Jim Abrahams and brothers David and Jerry Zucker, the show parodies the popular police procedural genre. Starring Leslie Nielsen as the bumbling and clueless Detective Frank Drebin, the series follows his misadventures as he tries to solve various crimes alongside his eccentric colleagues. Known for its rapid-fire sight gags, slapstick humor, and absurd wordplay, "Police Squad!" embraces a zany and irreverent style of comedy. Despite its critical acclaim and loyal fanbase, the show was met with an early demise, with only six episodes produced.

Will the S1E1 boys agree with the network's decision to end this show early? Listen as they deep dive Police Squad's pilot episode, "A Substantial Gift (The Broken Promise)"
