CAR 54 a drama??? Odd, when I watched that show every week--during
its original run (1961-1963)--it was hysterically funny! I don't know what
cop show you're thinking of .. but CAR 54, WHERE ARE YOU? was definitely
a comedy (and a darn funny one, too).

I was wondering the same thing. :lol: Nothing dramatic about that zany show!

Whoops, my bad...lol.

The title name sounded like a drama or something, because I remember wtaching reruns of this show and I was too young to remember how funny this show was.
