Synopsis
Marginally a "straight" police drama in the
Jack Webb/Quinn Martin school, Police Squad occurs in a strange universe where
everything is taken literally (when a name "rings a bell" we hear
bells go off every time someone mentions it), non sequiturs occur (a mime tries
to spell out a ransom note, and Officer Nordberg guesses "Theme From a
Summer Place") and sight gags abound (while looking for a corpse, someone
wants to know the time and the dead man's hand drops out of a tree).
