The brilliance of Police Squad! is impossible to overstate! The Aquaboys are still reveling in this classic from the ‘80s. We loved it so much, we celebrated by taking a break from recording for a few months. But we *promise to get back to a more regular schedule from now on.
Veteran newman Tony hosts his segment, Celebrity Highlights and Onscreen Wonders Bulletin Express. In the subsegment Totally Worth Attention Television, we all share recommendations for shows we’re watching (besides Police Squad!). Tune in and, who knows, you might even learn something new about yourself!
P.S. — How is Police Squad! not on any major streaming platform? Luckily, you can catch it on Daily Motion. It may not be fully legit, but it’s there—enjoy!

*that is not a guarantee
Police Squad! is an American television crime comedy series that was broadcast on the ABC network in 1982. It was created by David Zucker, Jim Abrahams, and Jerry Zucker, starring Leslie Nielsen as Frank Drebin. A spoof of police procedurals and many other television shows and movies, the series features Zucker, Abrahams, and Zucker's usual sight gags, wordplay, and non sequiturs. It resembles the Lee Marvin police show M Squad (in particular the opening credits) and the late 1960s series Felony Squad. It was canceled after six episodes and yielded The Naked Gun film series from 1988 to 1994.
