Police Squad!/Trivia

Trivia about Police Squad! includes:


 * Hey, It's That Guy!: Johnny the Shoeshine Boy used to be the Congressional Custodian.
 * Screwed by the Network: One way or the other. Either their stated reason for cancelling the show was true -- in which case it was simply a dumb reason -- or, as fans have theorised for years, they were afraid that the series would destroy the reputation of police shows in much the same way that Airplane! had rendered the disaster movie genre Deader Than Disco.
 * Shout-Out: To the show.  The YouTube series Project Binky by Bad Obsession Motorsport directly copies Police Squad! for its opening and closing, starting a couple episodes in.
