    I guess I might have to rewatch the series.
    At the time I do not rememeber being a big fan, thought the original
    Naked Gun's were a bit slow and dry. Might have to rewatch them too.

    The movies were good. The movies were funny.

    But the TV Show? MAN! Airplane under a different genre!

    Oh.. I forgot to ask, because my recollection is that Police Squad was always in color!

    Were any of the eppisodes in B&W?

    Nope! But because it was a satire/parody of the older shows, like
    Streets of San Francisco, Ironsides, Barnaby Jones -- they were
    from an era when they started B&W and then 'upgraded' to color.

    So I always saw the "In Color" to be a similar stab at the
    genre. :-)



    ... Well, to be frank, I'd have to change my name.

    Its Leslie Neilsen playing that role so cut-n-dry that made the
    originals so great...

    Just like he straight faced the doctor on Airplane. :-)
