User Reviews

What if Airplane was a TV show? It would get canceled for being too good after only a few episodes that still hold up fantastically.

Nielsen always at his best as Frank Drebin. Riddled with absurdities, puns, double entendres & non-sequiturs. Episodes range from 5-8 stars.

Utterly ridiculous and fun! It's an entire series made of dad jokes, somebrilliant and some not so much! Leslie Nielsen is a genius.

Ridiculously clever and simultaneously bonkers.

A hilarious series with so many good jokes. If you don’t like dad jokes don’t watch it.

It's a crime that this show was canceled. It brought the Naked Gun franchise but the show was also funnier than anything else on TV then.

Funny slapstick comedy. Some pretty funny parts.

The series that spawned Naked Gun. Same humour, same silliness, same Leslie Nielsen. Everything you could want.

Christopher Rydberg

The unique flavor of humor here is unmatched. If you like it, it can’t be beat. Worth trying for almost anyone.

The show that gave us the Naked Gun. Its funny but not as funny as the movies
