(In Color)<\/p>\n<p>Before the &#8220;Naked Gun&#8221; films there was Police Squad!, ABC&#8217;s criminally short-lived series that introduced us to Lt. Frank Drebin and which brought the ridiculous humor (&#8220;&#8230;and Rex Hamilton as Abraham Lincoln&#8221;) 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&#8217;s &#8220;Home Media Retailing&#8221; magazine, director David Zucker reveals that he is scheduled to record commentary tracks for the release, but warns not to expect any deleted material. &#8220;I don&#8217;t know if there&#8217;s any deleted [scenes]. In those days, they just threw stuff away.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Hooray!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>from DavisDVD :: TV News Police Squad!
