Leslie Nielsen died OTD in 2010.
Only 6 episodes of Police Squad (1982) were made.
The joke rate is astounding, it hits genius level several times during each episode.
Police Squad is pure TV comedy gold.

1. Always a favorite. He was a serious actor for so long but so incredibly superb at

comedy, that I simply can't watch him or think of him without laughing.

Make 'em laugh in the next realm, Leslie. You certainly did so here.

2. Yes.

I really miss his wacky style of comedy. Hard to find a replacement. I also like Mr Bean who is another irreplaceable genius personality.

5. I saw one of those "Biography" shows on TV over the weekend. Peter Graves was being interviewed.

He kept saying how apprehensive he was about appearing in "Airplane!" He went on the say that he need not have worried. It didn't ruing his reputation one bit.

6. He got a lot of mileage out of those variations on the same four jokes

I guess when something works, you stick with it.

7. Interviews

He also carried a fart machine with him on interviews. Hilarious stuff. You can search for it on Youtube.
