Police Squad!

Police Squad! was a 1982 television comedy series that starred Leslie Nielsen as bumbling police detective Frank Drebin. The show, which was created by the same team that produced the film Airplane!, parodied the cliches of popular crime series of the 1960s and 1970s. Police Squad! premiered in the US on ABC in 1982 and only lasted six episodes. The series subsequently gained a cult following that would culminate into a trilogy of feature films, beginning with The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad!. Note: The episodes are denoted by number only, due to the fact that one of the gags in the show was that the announcer would name a different episode than the title that would appear onscreen.
