Though the image quality is a little snarky, the gags and humor are still as hilariously dumb. This is one funny show.

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.

Kansas City StarAaron Barnhart

A lovingly slapped-together collection of six of the least appreciated, laugh-out-loudest half-hours of television ever made.

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.

LA WeeklyRobert 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.

NewsdayDiane 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.

Boston GlobeTom Russo

Even now, a couple of decades later, the show's smartly stupid brand of humor is still hilarious.

Decepticon Pom gave it a9:
"Cigarette?" // "Yes, I know". STILL drop-dead funny after all these years. WARNING : The commentaries on this DVD are painfully and disappointingly boring.

Dudley M gave it a7:
Great show, generally funnier than the movies that followed and way too short-lived as a series. Too bad that the DVD is so cheaply put together - the image flicker is very distracting at times, and more attention to a decent mastering job would make this a must-have DVD, rather than an "OK if you liked the show" sort of purchase.

C.S. Strowbridge gave it a10:
(Nearly) perfect spoof that was well before its time.
