Police Squad!

Police Squad is known today as a series of movies with Leslie Nielsen, but it started off as a six episode television series in the early 80's. It was one of the funniest things ever on TV, a show which took 2 or 3 viewings to catch all of the sight gags. This show deconstructed the television police detective show so well, they had to completely rethink the genre afterwards.
John Ashton, mainly known for his role of Officer Taggart in Beverly Hills Cop, makes an appearance as a shakedown thug. He says the the joke where the two thugs are questioned about the rock was his hardest scene ever to film, as they all were laughing so hard. Watch this and be amazed at how good this show was.
Sorry it's a day late.
