WIll there ever be another show like this?


I guess you can say this show was ahead of its time. However, the "Airplane" movies had the same people behind them and they were very successful. I guess movies and TV are two completely different things. I can't remember any shows that are similar. The Howard Stern show "Son Of The Beach" a couple of years ago had some of the same humor.

Angie Tribeca has been a solid entry in this type of show.

I think Sledge Hammer! (1986 - 1988) was the only other thing which came close to this.

Sledge Hammer! was better IMO, especially the DVD version which has the laugh track removed.

The first title that comes to mind is Charlie Brooker's hilarious procedural cop TV drama spoof A Touch of Cloth (2012). Like the best Zucker/Abrahams stuff, the gags, both verbal and visual, come flying fast, Multiple viewings are needed to catch them all, and it holds up well to repeat watches.
