Leslie Nielsen starred in this television show, Police Squad, that was cancelled after six episodes. But Nielsen had the last laugh as the characters were resurrected in the wildly successful Naked Gun films.

I’ve got Police Squad! on DVD. I love how they go through the list of people they’ve put in Statesville prison at the end of each episode…
… the only one I remember is Sally Decker…
I’m just catching up with this series. How I missed it, I don’t know. It’s hilarious.
Magnificent! Leslie Neillson looks so normal and square and then turns out to be so ridiculous. Hurray for doing anything for a laugh.
I love the way you put that! Not many who are willing to sacrifice their dignity. It’s the real clown ethos.
I think it’s the fact that he doesn’t look like a clown. In any case, he’s hilarious!
