Police Squad! Finally Coming to DVD; Yahoo! Offers Episodes of How I Met Your Mother and Two and a Half Men Online
Another sitcom on DVD has been announced by TVShowsonDVD.com . Paramount is expected to release the show sometime in 2006. Police Squad! aired on ABC in the spring of 1982. Only six episodes were produced. Leslie Nielsen, Alan North, Ed Williams, Peter Lupus, and William Duell starred. There were a number of guest stars including Florence Henderson. Although the episodes were previously released on VHS awhile back and re-run on CBS in 1991, it will be nice to have them in the DVD format. It will be interesting to hear if there are any audio commentaries, interviews, or other special features included. A few bits of trivia. This sitcom didn't have a laugh track. ABC wanted them to use one, but the show creators didn't want it. John Belushi filmed a cameo guest star appearance for the sixth episode, but he died before it aired. We might not see this scene on the DVD as it has been presumed to have been lost or destroyed. The producers wanted to use it when the episodes were re-run on CBS in the summer of 1991, but they couldn't find the footage.
Yahoo! TV is offering an exclusive for two CBS Monday night sitcoms. They are offering streams of two episodes of How I Met Your Mother and Two and a Half Men. The episodes of How I Met Your Mother are "The Sweet Taste of Liberty" and "The Pineapple Incident." The episodes of Two and a Half Men are "Madame and Her Special Friend" and "We Called It Mister Pinky." They will be avilable for free without any commercials this week, beginning today through Monday afternoon, at http://tv.yahoo.com/feature/cbscomedybowl.html . Two and a Half Men is currently the highest rated sitcom on television with over 15 million viewers per week. You can discuss these shows on our How I Met Your Mother and Two and a Half Men message boards.
