"Police Squad!" (1982) [TV-Series]
Production Company: Paramount Television
Distributor: American Broadcasting Company (ABC) (1982) (USA) (TV) (original airing)
Plot Outline: Sight-gags and non-sequiturs dominate this spoof of police dramas. The six episodes formed the basis for later very successful "Naked Gun" movies. Marginally a "straight" police drama in the Jack Webb/Quinn Martin school, Police Squad occurs in a strange universe where everything is taken literally (when a name "rings a bell" we here bells go off everytime someone mentions it), non sequiturs occur (a mime tries to spell out a ransom note, and Officer Nordberg guesses "Theme From a Summer Place") and sight gags abound (while looking for a corpse, someone wants to know the time and the dead man's hand drops out of a tree).

Trivia for
"Police Squad!" (1982)
Each episode has two titles: the voiceover narration inevitably fails to match the on-screen title.
Each week featured a "Special Guest Star" who is killed off in the opening credits. Lorne Greene and William Conrad are knifed and tossed out of cars; Georg Stanford Brown has a safe dropped on him; Florence Henderson is shot during a musical number; Robert Goulet is executed by a firing squad; and William Shatner avoids a burst of machine-gun-fire only to drink a glass of poisoned wine.
At some point in each of the first four episodes, Drebin runs over a set of objects (garbage cans, bikes) equal to the episode number. This joke does not occur in the fifth or sixth episodes.
Starting with the 2nd episode, Drebin would reel off a list of the criminals apprehended in all the previous episodes. This joke was slightly ruined as the episodes aired out of order, the fifth episode airing before the fourth and the fourth airing before the third, thus criminals were referred to before they were arrested. This joke was not done in the first or third episodes.
Each week Frank's snitch, Johnny the Shoeshine boy who knew everything, would meet with someone else that Johnny could give useful if esoteric information to. In the last three episodes he met with real-life people Dick Clark, Joyce Brothers, and Tommy Lasorda (even providing Clark with a special bottle of anti-aging face cream).
John Belushi filmed a cameo "guest star" appearance for the "Testimony of Evil" episode, showing him underwater wearing a pair of cement shoes. He died before the episode aired, so a new sequence was filmed with William Conrad.
After the success of the "Naked Gun!" movies, both Comedy Central and CBS-TV, and not ABC-TV, re-aired all six episodes of this series in the summer of 1991. Producers wanted to include the John Belushi "guest star" appearance in the rerun of the "Testimony of Evil", which had been cut from the episode due to Belushi's death in 1982. The footage could not be located, and is now presumed to have been lost or destroyed.
According to Pat Proft, had a second season been commissioned, the spot in the opening credits where Abraham Lincoln is shot at and retaliates with a pistol would have been replaced by a similar one, featuring Mahatma Gandhi and a machine gun.
Many of the gags from the TV series were reused in the Naked Gun films.
The episodes end with a mock freeze frame. However, instead of an actual freeze frame, the characters in the frame simply stand as still as possible. In one episode, the frame "freezes" with one character pouring the other a cup of coffee. As they stand still, the cup can be seen overflowing.
ABC wanted the show to have a laugh track, but Jim Abrahams, Jerry Zucker, and 'David Zucker' wouldn't give in.
The theme song, the opening credits and the character of Lt. Frank Drebin were spoofs of "M Squad" (1957). Lee Marvin starred on that show as Lt. Frank Ballinger.
Drebin's rank is oft intentionally misused, i.e. he might announce himself as 'Lieutenant Drebin' only to have that person immediately introduce him as 'Captain Drebin.' Even Drebin varies his title, making it one of those distinctively amusing subtleties the Abrahms and Zucker Brothers team are known for.
Although none of the "Special Guest Stars" appeared in any of the episodes of the series due to being killed off during the opening sequence, one guest star (Robert Goulet) DID star in "The Naked Gun 2 1/2: The Smell of Fear"; one of three movies based on the series.
