Critic Reviews

100 digitallyOBSESSED Rich Rosell
Though the image quality is a little snarky, the gags and humor are still as hilariously dumb. This is one funny show.
90 TVShowsOnDVD.com Gord Lacey
This is an inexpensive set that'll have you laughing for hours, and then hours more when you rewatch the episodes for a second, third, and fourth time.
90 Kansas City Star Aaron Barnhart
A lovingly slapped-together collection of six of the least appreciated, laugh-out-loudest half-hours of television ever made.
90 DVD Town Dean Winkelspecht
The show is just as funny as ever and proudly sits beside "The Tick" and "Greg the Bunny" as great comedy shows that died too young.
80 LA Weekly Robert Abele
As I watched, even my laughter felt different, as if it had been earned, not dragged out of me the way most spoof humor is today.
80 Newsday Diane Werts
You hear that brassy theme, you see the straight-faced cop byplay, you watch the "special guest star" get killed before the opening credits - and you're in classic spoof heaven.
80 Boston Globe Tom Russo
Even now, a couple of decades later, the show's smartly stupid brand of humor is still hilarious.
