‘Police Squad’ > ‘Naked Gun’.

 

Agreed. I love Naked Gun. But Leslie Nielson dumbed down the character. Police Squad was the perfect parody of detective shows, and he did a spot on parody of guys like Joe Friday. It was so much more subtle too. I truly think that's why it didn't last, because most people didn't get it. 

 

Angie Tribeca is a show that's produced by Steve Carell. It's the closest thing we're gonna get to Police Squad. A lot of the same deadpan humor.

The Police Squad to Naked Gun comparison to me is very similar to the Monty Python’s Flying Circus half hour skit comedy, as opposed to the long form movies.  All are funny, but the strength seems to be in the shorter form.
