Lamb to Slaughter?
There should be a designation for shows that pulled the plug too soon.
And my first nominee: "Police Squad!" OMG that show was a stitch. But you had to PAY ATTENTION, which is, I think, what killed it. Of course, it went on to movies, so it wasn't a total loss. But I remember ROLLING during that show.
"Frank, there's a problem down at the hospital..."
"What is it?"
"It's a large building with patients inside."
---
"Cigarette?"
"Why yes. Yes it is."
---
"This is a whole new problem altogether."
<<multiple voices in unison>>: "This is a whole new problem."
---
And of course:
"Surely you're joking."
"No. I'm serious. And don't call me Shirley."
