“Police Squad!” is a comedic TV series that debuted in 1982, crafted by the creative trio of David Zucker, Jim Abrahams, and Jerry Zucker, with Leslie Nielsen in the lead role. This series is a satirical take on police dramas, incorporating the signature visual jokes, clever wordplay, and absurd humor typical of the Zucker, Abrahams, and Zucker team. While it parodies a range of TV shows and films, it closely mirrors the Lee Marvin-led series “M Squad” and the late 1960s show “Felony Squad.” Despite being axed after just six episodes, it led to the creation of the popular “Naked Gun” film series. In 2013, TV Guide placed it at number 7 on their list of 60 shows that were “Cancelled Too Soon.”
