Stam Fine looks at a TV show cancelled after only a few episodes yet became a comedy legend after it got a second chance as a movie. Police Squad follows the investigations of Frank Drebin, a moron in a world of morons. Cancelled after only a few episodes aired in 1982, the show's creators, Jerry Zucker, Jim Abrahams and David Zucker (Airplane, Top Secret), kept the faith long enough to get the series remounted as a feature film, The Naked Gun. The series stars Leslie Nielsen and Alan North, while George Kennedy joined the film series.

I also took the opportunity to fix the spelling of Leslie Nielsen’s caption.
The pronunciation of the Zucker brothers' name is as close as I can get to how they introduce themselves on their DVD commentary tracks. They don't pronounce their own name to rhyme with 'sucker.'
