Unfortunately that would mean I started posting at the original DLR Army forum when I was 10...

Yep. The original Police Squad (In Color!) show was just as good as Airplane!, but failed on tv because you had to pay attention to it or you'd miss something going on in the background. ABC only ran something like 3-4 episodes and canceled it, which sucked because before anyone could spread the word, it was gone.

I saw ever episode. Spent most of the time doubled up in fits of hysterical laughter.

Why in the FUCK they would cancel such an incredible comedic show is beyond me.

But then, TV executives are FUCKING MORONS!

It was TV executives who decided that Bruce Lee should not be in the TV series HE CREATED - "Kung Fu", because they thought he looked "too Asian".

I have always held TV executives in extreme contempt. They are just cheap versions of idiot movie studio executives. Who are the idiot cousins of major label executives who learned the music biz from a special ed class.

You really should check out Bill Carter's latest book The War for Late Night: When Leno Went Early and Television Went Crazy. Carter is the same guy that wrote Monday Night Madness about MNF, and The Late Shift, about the Letterman/Leno debacle for the Tonight Show. If anything, it will confirm your opinion that tv execs are some of the most clueless assholes walking the Earth.

"He just fell asleep and passed away."

This makes me happy. That's how I wanna go, fall asleep & never wake up. If only...

Well, all the rest has already been said in this thread.

Amazing actor...

Cheers! :bottle:

My friend wrote "Spy Hard" (he also helped write "The Kentucky Fried Movie" and "Airplane" - but due to creative differences, sold his share of the script). He has pictures of Leslie and himself in his office. Said he hated what they did to his script, but loved LN.

Some of the best quotes:

"Nice beaver!"

"Who are you and how did you get in here?!" "I'm a locksmith and...I'm a locksmith".

"Wilma, I promise you; whatever scum did this, not one man on this force will rest one minute until he's behind bars. Now, let's grab a bite to eat."

"Yes, well when I see five weirdo's dressed in togas stabbing a guy in the middle of the park in full view of a hundred people, I shoot the bastards, that's my policy." "That was a Shakespeare in the park production of Julius Caesar you moron! You killed five actors, good ones!"

"We're sorry to bother you at such a time like this, Mrs. Twice. We would have come earlier, but your husband wasn't dead then..."

Frank: It's the same old story. Boy finds girl, boy loses girl, girl finds boy, boy forgets girl, boy remembers girl, girl dies in a tragic blimp accident over the Orange Bowl on New Year's Day.

Jane: Goodyear?

Frank: No, the worst.

Frank: That's the red-light district. I wonder why Savage is hanging around down there.
Ed: Sex, Frank?
Frank: Uh, no, not right now, Ed.

Frank: Now, Jane, what can you tell us about the man you saw last night?
Jane: He's Caucasian.
Ed: Caucasian?
Jane: Yeah, you know, a white guy. A mustache. About six-foot-three.
Frank: Awfully big mustache.

Frank: I'm single! I love being single! I haven't had this much sex since I was a Boy Scout leader!
-Music Stops. People stare.-
Frank: I mean at the time I was dating a lot.
