This series follows Detective Lieutenant Sergeant Frank Drebin of Police Squad as he investigates a series of cases.
That might not sound like a basis for a comedy but this series contains more gags per minute than just about other any series I can think of. There are recurring jokes; such as the guest star who dies within seconds of appearing and a shoe-shine man who seems to know everything about everything. The rest of the time we are assaulted by a series of puns, sight-gags and other hilarious moments... if you don't get one gag another will occur in seconds. Leslie Nielson does a really good job as Drebin, he, along with the rest of the cast, manage to play things straight even during the most ridiculous moments. Overall I'd say the biggest mystery here is why there are only six episodes... at least it returned on the big screen as the 'Naked Gun' Trilogy... A must see.
