This is another DVD I haven't had the opportunity to watch. I grew up with The Naked Gun, and Leslie Nielsen is a genius of comedy. I'd always wanted to see this comedy series, and it was finally time.
Over the course of six episodes, Frank and his team solve crime in their own way. They get the job done in the most hilarious way possible. There is so much going on, you definitely have to make sure you're paying attention all the time.
If you've seen The Naked Gun, you'll see where a lot of the best jokes came from. I normally don't laugh out loud when I watch stuff by myself, but I was doing it a lot during this. I'm going to have to watch it again just to see what I missed. Because there's stuff I missed. Things are always going on in the background. For example, they're talking about something, and the Eiffel Tower is seen out the window. The freeze frames at the end are genius, and I love them. I love Abraham Lincoln. I love the guest stars. I loved the running jokes that would carry over from one episode to the next.
While I was watching this, I noticed the actors for the captain and Nordberg were different than the movie. Alan North and Peter Lupus were recast, and I'm bummed about that after seeing the chemistry they all had together. It looked like they all had fun, especially in the gag reel. Apparently, North and Lupus weren't big enough stars to be in the movie. Garbage.
The real tragedy here was the number of episodes. Six. Six episodes is all we got of this unique and hilarious TV show. I'm sure not everyone will appreciate this kind of humor, but I'm all in for it, and I'm ready to watch it again to see what I missed. Great Fun!
