Police Academy - Die Serie

I had never seen any of the Police Academy movies. I'd be encountering the franchise, or some part of it, for the first time here. As a given, the show isn't as funny as the movies, at times trying way too hard to be funny.

While the movies had more nuance, at least I would assume, at the very least the jokes aren't unbearable, at best overly random (lest they were borrowing from the films.) The one episode I watched I managed to get all the way through, so at least they got a sense of bearability down.

It's not impossible to sit through, just corny and pales in comparison to the movie series it's based on. If you're in the mood for some cheesy screwball comedy, this is the perfect show to shut off your mind to and just have fun with it.

I am surprised a few gave this beep series a high rating. this is a bad series and the jokes are not working anymore plus most of those actors we loved in the film series are not here so that's how bad this series are. hell.......even the later police academy movies were not so great losing much of the greatness the first films had but at least they had the original cast and that saved the day most of times. in my view the first three films were the best and after part 3 the franchise started to get repetitive and declined but still part 4 was good and had a great moment with that "blow monkeys song scene" while parts 5 and 6 were just watchable and finally part 7 was the worst and put the nail to the coffin but this series are even worst so an advise. stay away.

ps.

for years we supposed to have a new film with steve back. let's hope we get this soon.

and even less. The first movie of the series wasn't all that bad, but it was "Citizen Kane" compared to the turdballs that followed it. This thing's even worse. The only reason I watched it was because of Joe Flaherty from "SCTV," who I've always been a fan of. Guess this proves that nobody's perfect. I don't know how long this series lasted, but I didn't last past 15 minutes into the first episode. Absolutely painful. Yuk.

I miss this show a lot. It was very funny and much too short lived. It obviously got bashed a lot and was not as funny as the original movie series but then again that is always the case when you take a popular movie franchise then try to make a TV show based on it... TV shows never have the same budget and are usually missing all the big names stars and so on. This was funny though!

I've seen all episodes and I think they are mutch better than the movies. The series are cool and funny, and the screenplays are a lot better. With Casey and the beautiful Annie. If you never watch Police Academy, you better can do that soon, because it's great.
