Police Squad DVD Series

Anyone know if Paramount will release the Police Squad series on DVD. This was a very funny show that was canceled after 3 episodes. The remaining three where later released on video. As far as I am aware there where only six episodes. I think this was really funny, especially the freeze scenes at the end of each episode! How funny was that.
Get a move on Paramount!

I would really like it also, although the three Naked Gun films borrowed a lot of the jokes from it.

It would have been better if Paramount put two shows on each Naked Gun movie as an extra...since there are only 6 anyways. Oh well

If they release it, I hope they include the unseen John Belushi footage. It was the last thing he filmed.

Each episode, Drebin runs over a number of garbage cans equal to the episode number.

i love this show.

i whish it was on longer or at least they could have made more then 6 eps.

sledge hammer often gets alot of credit for this type of show but police squad was 3 years ahead of hammer.

i never heard of any belushi footage.
idid a quick look through the net and couldnt find anything.

michael, do you have any links or info on that?

I don't understand what's keeping Paramount from releasing this series - you'd think it was a complete no-brainer.

John Belushi was supposed to be the 'Guest Star' in episode 6 "Testimony of Evil" and of course killed off in the opening credits...

unfortunately he died shortly after filming the sthick and they had to quickly refilm the bit with William Conrad...

Didn't the original Naked Gun film have the tagline "From the files of Police Squad"? I don't recall when or on what channel, but there was a mini Police Squad marathon. That kind of sight gag and physical humor is great in half-hour doses. It'd be downright brilliant to bring it to DVD.

Yup.

Comedy Central used to show them all every once in a while.
