Similar to the naked gun. My kind of comedy. After 3 seasons I am looking for more.
... View MoreIt has moments but overall a weak attempt at police squad . Occasionally good sight gags and that's about it, This might have worked if it were a new idea, but it has been done before and far far better. This is like Airplane 2 pushing weak material as far as they can go milking the original concept. As for cast they need more experience, they don't seem to truly enjoy the material or concept for that matter. Now Deon Cole is brilliant in Blackish, and easily the most talented member of the cast, but he never should have left Blackish as his Character "Charles" is original hysterical and might have become a classic like Danny Devito in Taxie or Kramer in Seinfeld.Aside from points I have made I would add the show has some funny guest spots which are the saving grace of the show and reason I gave this a 5 rather than a 3 . I hope to see this show improve but a word to Deon, Please go back to blackish you provided some great and memorable comedy moments on TV show loaded with great talent such a great cast and writing go back to them please they need you Just my opinions.
... View MoreI have always loved the "Airplane!" genre. Sight gags, oblique historical references, language twists, absurd plot twists, minor physical humor. "I want every light we have poured onto that field!" This is an idea that has been done in the past...the "Naked Gun" series, "Police Squad," and quite frankly, it could work now...IF they put a little more effort into it. There have been TONS of police shows that they could spoof and pay sideways homage to. Who wouldn't like a good "Dragnet," "CSI," "Hawaii 5-0," "TJ Hooker," or "Walker: Texas Ranger" reference now and then. They dropped the ball with the CSI clone...that could have been A LOT better. The dog is excellent, and really should get more "lines." "Screaming Cop" and "Vomiting Cop" are good standards and should be continued...in a limited role....NO "Screaming Cop" episode! Rashida Jones does a decent job as Frank Drebbins....er, Angie Tribeca, but the producers of the show MUST remember that the show isn't about "Angie Tribeca"...It's about the HUMOR! She's just the vehicle to deliver it. That's why "Police Squad" eventually failed...it became a silly cop show starring Leslie Neilson, instead of being "Police Squad." I'm hoping that it warms up and finds it's pace, but since blue isn't my best color...I'm not holding my breath.

Louis C.KI want to tell this quote from worlds funnies man to everyone who does not find this show funny: 6.7 rating is BS. It should have at list 8.0.This show is hilarious! Cast is great. Also every episodes has a new guest star.If you are searching humor with deep meaning about life and universe you have to find another show. This one is filled with stupid- hilarious-dumb jokes that will make you fall from chair.
