An Entity of Type: television show, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

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.

  • Police Squad (Originaltitel: Police Squad!), später umbenannt in Die nackte Pistole, ist eine US-amerikanische Comedyserie, die auf einem Konzept von Jim Abrahams, David und Jerry Zucker beruht. Die sechsteilige Serie erschien 1982 und bildete die Grundlage für den Film Die nackte Kanone, der sechs Jahre später entstand und zwei Fortsetzungen hatte. Obwohl in der Serie die gleichen Figuren wie in den Filmen auftreten, spielen nur Leslie Nielsen und Ed Williams in beiden mit. Sowohl die Serie als auch die Filme enthalten jeweils Elemente des Slapstick als auch der absurden Komödie. Dieser Stil ist fast allen ZAZ-Filmen (Zucker-Abrahams-Zucker) zu Eigen. Hier werden insbesondere die amerikanischen Krimiserien der 1970er Jahre parodiert. Als Vorbild für die Vorspannmusik und die Figur Drebin dient die Serie Dezernat M mit Lee Marvin. (de)

  • Quelli della pallottola spuntata (Police Squad!) è una serie televisiva creata nel 1982 dal trio di registi Zucker-Abrahams-Zucker, che in precedenza avevano già lavorato insieme a film come Ridere per ridere e L'aereo più pazzo del mondo. Venne creata come parodia di diversi film e telefilm, in particolar modo alla serie televisiva poliziesca Il tenente Ballinger (M Squad, 1957), con Lee Marvin. Nonostante i favori della critica, la serie venne sospesa dalla ABC dopo solo sei episodi (dei quali soltanto quattro trasmessi nel primo passaggio televisivo). Il successo della serie spinse varie emittenti televisive americane a riproporne le repliche, finché nel 1988 venne prodotto il film cinematografico Una pallottola spuntata (The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad!, regia di David Zucker) e, successivamente, altri due sequel: Una pallottola spuntata 2½ - L'odore della paura (The Naked Gun 2½: The Smell of Fear, regia di David Zucker, 1991) e Una pallottola spuntata 33⅓ - L'insulto finale (Naked Gun 33⅓: The Final Insult, di Peter Segal, 1994). Molte gag della serie vennero riciclate per i film. In Italia, la serie venne proposta sulla scia del successo ottenuto precedentemente dal film, da qui la scelta di un titolo che lo richiamasse.
