- Synopsis:
Oooo... Ooooo "Car 54, Where Are You?" arrives for the first time on - all 30 episodes of the first series. Many critics, comedians and TV fans have long considered 'Car 54, Where Are You?' one of the most brilliant laugh out loud comedy series ever to appear on television. Creator Nat Hiken was already famous for his highly acclaimed Sgt Bilko show, and when the opportunity to do another TV series came up, he threw himself into the task - writing, producing, casting and directing. The result is a hilarious masterpiece, rich with New York humor and characters in scripts that were polished jewels of lunacy. The show stars Joe E. Ross as the bumbling Gunther Toody and Fred Gwynne as the cultured Francis Muldoon with a supporting cast that includes Beatrice Pons as Toody's domineering shrew of a wife,AI Lewis as the irascible Officer Leo Schnauser, Charlotte Rae as Schnauser's moody hot-tempered wife, and Paul Reed as the perpetually exasperated Captain Block. This first season also features memorable guest star appearances by show biz pros Wally Cox, Jan Murray, Molly Picon, Maureen Stapleton and many more. Created at a time when a comedy genius like Nat Hiken could work unfettered by network demands for formulaic fare, 'Car 54, Where Are You?' stands today as one of the greatest achievements in television comedy. - Actors:
