On this day, November 28, 2010, Leslie Nielsen died.

Donny Ferguson Retweeted

Leslie Nielsen died OTD in 2010.
Only 6 episodes of Police Squad (1982) were made.
The joke rate is astounding, it hits genius level several times during each episode.
Police Squad is pure TV comedy gold.

I was six, and in kindergarten, and my Mom and aunt took myself and my cousin to see The Poseidon Adventure. Hardly material for a child that age, but I thought the boat capsizing part was really cool.

He had a long career as a serious actor and then completely re-invented himself as a comedy icon. Not an easy feat to be sure.
