Police Squad! is an American television series created by David Zucker, Jim Abrahams, and Jerry Zucker for the American Broadcasting Company. It stars Leslie Nielsen as Frank Drebin and Alan North as Captain Ed Hocken. A spoof of police procedurals and many other television shows and movies, the series features Zucker, Abrahams and Zucker's usual sight gags, wordplay, and non sequiturs. It resembles the Lee Marvin police show M Squad (in particular the opening credits) and the late 1960s series Felony Squad. Airing from March 4 to July 8, 1982, it was canceled after six episodes, though it was followed by the critically successful The Naked Gun film series from 1988 to 1994, along with the 2025 legacy sequel The Naked Gun.
