Here's the funny part: I didn't see SaturnVengeances post till I saw yours -mine was actually inspired by J.B.s post on the first page

And Rex Hamilton as Abraham Lincoln... 
Man, I wish we had Quinn Martin style shows today.

The freeze-frame thing on Police Squad seriously makes me laugh every single damn time. Every single damn one of them.
Me too. I think my favourite is when they bring in the criminal of the week (in the boxing episode, I believe) and he's running around trying to figure out what to do while the credits roll.

Yeah, but he can't get past the cops so he just gives up.
Captain: Sergeants, take her away and book her!
Drebin (shaking their hands): Sergeant Takeheraway. Sergeant Booker.

I love police squad. Must pull it out again sometime soon.
Or just find them on youtube.

"I had a little hunch back at the office. And here's that little hunchback now."
I also love that whole story Drebin tells in Police Squad's first episode about living with some guy for a couple of years while Ed is interviewing the woman whose husband was killed.

Frank: I'd known her for years. We used to go to all the police functions together. Ah, how I loved her, but she had her music. I think she had her music. She'd hang out with the Chicago Male Chorus and Symphony. I don't recall her playing an instrument or being able to carry a tune. Yet she was on the road 300 days of the year. In fact, I bought her a harp for Christmas. She asked me what it was.
I think a Police Squad! marathon in honour of the late Mr Nielson is in order.

"The girl had come back from her honeymoon. She was alone, and her parents welcomed her with open arms. And they said to her, Delilah, hat gut gemacht!"
Seconded!
Absolutely!
For exchanges as good as this:
Frank: "Is there a ransom note?"
Ed: "Yes, the butler found it; it was tied to this window and thrown into the rock garden. I sent the note to the lab; they're demanding one million dollars."
Frank: "Why would the lab demand a million dollars?"
Police Squad was pure brilliance.
Did anyone ever see his commercials for Red Rock Cider? they were pretty funny.

Everyone is of course quoting Nielsen's work from Airplane, Police Squad, and The Naked Gun flicks. But one of my favorite quotes is from his appearance in Creep Show: I can hold my breath for a looooooong time!
