Trivia:
Although none of the "Special Guest Stars" appeared in any of the episodes of the series due to being killed off during the opening sequence, one guest star (Robert Goulet) DID star in "The Naked Gun 2 1/2: The Smell of Fear"; one of three movies based on the series.

Endlessly Hilarious! I taped the first 5 shows years and years ago, and every so often I go back and watch them, and still they are as funny as they were the first time. In fact, there are so many sight gags and whatnot, that you will miss a lot of them the first few times you watch the shows! I see something new every time!! Absolutely hilarious, even more so than the films. Several of the gags are used repeatedly ("Cigarette? Yes it is", or the midget cop who is the intercom), but still manage to be funny each time. Too bad they didn't have Johnny the shoeshine guy in the movies. I wish I had the 6th show!!!
Highly recommended if you liked the Naked Gun or Airplane movies.
