Take 15 minutes out of your day to sit in a sunny spot and laugh your way through the script.
While any self-respecting comedy fan undoubtedly knows the Naked Gun movies by heart, I hope those same fans are also aware of Police Squad!, the short-lived 1982 ABC comedy series that set the stage for Leslie Nielsen’s Frank Drebin character.
I’m not typically someone who reads screenplays, produced or otherwise, but the jokes in Misch’s Police Squad! script practically leap off the page.
The show was infamously cancelled after only six episodes, with ABC executives claiming that the rapid-fire comedy and plethora of visual gags were too complex for television audiences.
