Police Academy

Recently I saw Heather Campbell in a movie and thought she looked familiar. I looked her up and found out she was Annie on this wacky show. My favorite things about the show were the romance between Annie and Casey, and Casey's attempts to annoy his superiors. Sgt. Jones was back doing his crazy sound effects from the movies, the Tackleberry twins (nephews of the movie Tackleberry, so much alike though one was white and one black) were inseparable and hilarious, and what Luke lacked in brains he made up for in size. Helfinger, too dumb to be in charge of anything, somehow managed to run this place in a manner reminiscent of MASH's Col. Henry Blake.

This was fun while it lasted, but I guess it didn't deserve to. We need shows like this from time to time.

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 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 still remember watching this show when I was a kid. It was really funny and enjoyable. 'Lois & Clark' and 'Police Academy' left me a very deep and wonderful impression. It's understandable that it was not very popular, since Friends pretty much got all the spot lights in comedy area. I gave it '8' since it brought me so many good memories. To be honest, it's a bit out of style, but still a lot better than some TV shows today, mostly those CW garbage. The theme song was identical to the film's and decently made. It's sad that most episodes or even clips are hard to find now.
