one night i be listen to talk radio and they have leslie nielsen on the program . he go on to explain why there be only 6 show . with tv show like mash you could go to the fridge to get a beer and as long a you hear what be go on you do not miss anything . but with police squad and you have to watch the show and with the sight gag you miss a whole lot if you do not see them . who could forget . the part of town know a little italy . with the coliseum in the background . even the movie rely heavily on the sight gag and but then again be in the theater you be a captive audience . leslie also say the one reason the show and movie and other movie like airplane be funny be because they do not attempt to tell what be funny . it be up to the viewer to get the joke . well that just my 2 cent .
