Tonight's Episode



Tonight's Episode is the name of a Tumblr blog that first began posting on May 10, 2016. Its posts consist almost entirely of parodies of the Police Squad! title card, done by inserting various phrases in the same font. In a show of commitment to the bit, the blog is updates on weekdays at 8pm Eastern Standard Time.

Interestingly, even though the blog is composed solely of episode titles, there does seem to be a cast of characters back there somewhere who occasionally are mentioned, including Captain Whetsone, Lieutenant Tad, someone named Steve, and just possibly Emily Brontë.

Sadly, the blog has not updated since October 28, 2019.
