They did a series that was a TV series version of Naked Gun called Police Squad for a short time. They said they took it off the air because it took too much of peoples attention. A lot of the gags were spread out in the background. And yes you had to actually watch it, you couldn't just have it on.
In one episode they started by saying they were searching this maroon conentental for drugs. Then you saw it in the shop behind them with dogs and police crawling all over it. Then later they were disassembling it with torches and saws. Then they walked up stating the had found the drugs. The guy holds up a chunk of dash and opens the glove box revealing the drugs. Last as they pan by a maroon corvair is being driven out of the shop.
In one shoot out they ran out of bullets and threw they guns at each other. The camera panned back and they were only a few feet from each other.
At the end of the episode when they ran the credits it looked like they did a freeze frame of the show, but just the actors froze. Everything else kept moving. The bad guys would take off, things would fall over, stuff would get blown around by fans, all kinds of stuff.
I felt offended when I heard why they canceled it.
Wonder if it could be found today and see if it was as funny as back then.
