11/06: This franchise used to appear on every TV channel all the time back then.

Let's be fair: Police Academy is a great, inventive comedy picture. Sure, the plot is improbable, but what the hell? It didn't stop me from enjoying the movie.

Giving a memorable performance as Lieutenant Harris, G.W. Bailey will always be associated with Police Academy with the ability to win a Dennis Hopper look-alike contest any time of the day. Who can ever forget the black police officer who imitates all kinds of sound effects? And Tackleberry who thinks he's Dirty Harry? The lovable Commandment Lassard?

All in all, Police Academy is an underrated comedy picture.
