Topic: Funky Squad


  
  Funky Squad - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Funky Squad (1995) was a short-lived Australian comedy television series which satirised '70s-era U.S. police television dramas, such as The Mod Squad.
The show featured four "funky" undercover detectives: undetectable as police, given their "hipness".
The conclusion of each episode was deliberately designed to be incredibly predictable: usually the perpetrator of the crime under investigation could be identified within the first few minutes of the episode.

 "Funky Squad" (1995)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
It has been seven years since Funky Squad graced the screens of the ABC and there hasn't been enough said about its' value as a monument to the kitsch cop show days.
Originally the Squad was a short interlude on morning radio in Australia, but its' move to TV was somewhat less successful.
That lack of ratings was primarily put down to the fact that the show didn't have a laugh track and hence the robotic audiences of the day weren't able to laugh at the gags because they weren't adequately prompted to.

 Dr. Dre News and Information
With NWA he melded the noise collages of the Bomb Squad with funky rhythms.
On both the 1990 EP 100 Miles and Runnin' and the 1991 album Efil4zaggin ("Niggaz 4 Life" spelled backward), he created dense, funky sonic landscapes that were as responsible for keeping NWA at the top of the charts as Eazy's comic-book lyrics.
While the group was at the peak of their popularity in 1991, Dre began to make efforts to leave the crew, especially after he was charged with assaulting the host of a televised rap show in 1991.

 Movie Info for Funky Squad on MSN Movies
From the same team responsible for the Australian magazine show spoof Frontline, Funky Squad was a screamingly funny send-up of such 1960s and 1970s youth-oriented cop shows as The Mod Squad and Starsky and Hutch.
In keeping with the satirical spirit of the series, the actor/writers playing Funky Squad members Grant, Cassie, Stix, and Poncho were billed under fictional real names rather than their own names.
Funky Squad was seen over Australia's ABC network from April 24 to June 5, 1995.

, The Detectives, The Bullshitters, Lazarus And Dingwall and The Preventers, Funky Squad, an Australian series, lampooned US police shows of the 1970s in general and the series The Mod Squad (ABC, 1968-73) in particular.
As with The Mod Squad, the heroes of Funky Squad were a team of young, 'hip' undercover cops, so cool and 'with-it' that they were able to pass undetected among kids on the street.
Before Funky Squad, all but Gleisner had also worked on another spoof sitcom, Frontline (ABC, 1994), which lampooned Australian TV current affairs programmes.

 Review: Conflict Vietnam for Xbox on Gamepro.com.
Much like the protracted and difficult war on which this game is based, Conflict: Vietnam is an altogether ugly and unsatisfying experience.
You control a four-man team of American commandos who fight together throughout the course of the bloody war, starting with the Tet Offensive of 1968.
But on the negative side (which encompasses just about everything else), controlling your team and issuing complex orders under enemy fire is a teeth-grinding, spirit-crushing exercise in aggravation.
