Police Academy: The Series

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 am surprised a few gave this beep series a high rating. this is a bad series and the jokes are not working anymore plus most of those actors we loved in the film series are not here so that's how bad this series are. hell.......even the later police academy movies were not so great losing much of the greatness the first films had but at least they had the original cast and that saved the day most of times. in my view the first three films were the best and after part 3 the franchise started to get repetitive and declined but still part 4 was good and had a great moment with that "blow monkeys song scene" while parts 5 and 6 were just watchable and finally part 7 was the worst and put the nail to the coffin but this series are even worst so an advise. stay away.

ps.

for years we supposed to have a new film with steve back. let's hope we get this soon.

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.

I've seen all episodes and I think they are mutch better than the movies. The series are cool and funny, and the screenplays are a lot better. With Casey and the beautiful Annie. If you never watch Police Academy, you better can do that soon, because it's great.

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.
