Police Squad! (In Color)
Before the “Naked Gun” films there was Police Squad!, ABC’s criminally short-lived series that introduced us to Lt. Frank Drebin and which brought the ridiculous humor (“…and Rex Hamilton as Abraham Lincoln”) of Jim Abrahams, David Zucker and Jerry Zucker (Airplane!, Top Secret!) to the small screen. Lasting only six episodes, the series has since gone on to gain a cult status among its legion of fans. Previously released on two laserdiscs, the series is heading to DVD this year from Paramount Home Entertainment. In this week’s “Home Media Retailing” magazine, director David Zucker reveals that he is scheduled to record commentary tracks for the release, but warns not to expect any deleted material. “I don’t know if there’s any deleted [scenes]. In those days, they just threw stuff away.”
Hooray!
