Choco1980 posted:IIRC, the network execs didn't think a home audience could follow the quickfire comedy style appropriately, especially since there wasn't a laugh track. Yeah. In an interview with Leslie Nielsen, he said it was because people don't really watch TV shows, they just have it running.

Boz0r posted:Yeah. In an interview with Leslie Nielsen, he said it was because people don't really watch TV shows, they just have it running. It was an era where having the TV on while you did other things was a perfectly common way to do things, and shows that actually required you to follow things closely were the exception. If you half-watch Police Squad, it often seems like exactly the sort of tired old police show it parodies. This would be true of Airplane! and such too to an extent, but even in 1980 a movie was something you went into the theater and gave your full attention for. This isn't to say that people don't still half-watch TV like that, but there are a lot more shows focusing on detailed serial storytelling, or just generally written with the assumption that you'll set aside time to seriously watch it without distraction. Audiences are used to this, and get into it. This is probably why Angie Tribeca (basically the same show as Police Squad) is getting a third season.

From a couple pages back, but I had this design rejected by Threadless (yeah, I know) years ago.

What not-butt thing is that design supposed to be? I don't see anything but a butt on that cup. I will also have to buy some coffee from McDonald's so that I can have that butt cup sitting on my desk at work.

So you want to put a not-very-secret rear end on our coffee cups? Why? Well, sir, they have to buy a cup to meme it. Promote this intern immediately.

There's a very real chance an underpaid designer did it on purpose with the expectation management would catch it and knock it back. Or the designer was so blissfully ignorant no-one looked at it hard enough to notice.

Kind of stupid, but what is that coffee design actually supposed to be? The closest thing I can figure is people putting their foreheads together, but the hands aren't right for that.AlmightyBob posted:Is it true that the show got cancelled because of the honkey gag (a key on wall that said "Honkey" after ones like "Turkey") As someone said, it was people higher-up canning it. I think the folks behind Police Squad said they were secretly okay with being canceled, because even while they were writing/shooting the episodes they realized they were already running out of gags.
