Car 54, Where Are You? (1961–1963)
10/10
CAR 54 (on DVD) where are you?
19 September 2009
I remember watching this show when I was 7, and it was still on prime time. I thought the show was a riot back then.

I also remember watching this show when it was on NICK AT NITE in 1987. I was older and wiser, but that didn't stop me from laughing till it hurt every time I watched this show.

As if this show isn't funny enough, each episode had a story line that ended just before the final commercial break. Then, following the commercial break, came a new twist to the plot with a surprise ending that was just as hilarious (if not more so), just before the start of the closing theme and credits.

This show had the mark of Nat Hiken, a true comic genius. The show was as loud as the screaming matches that often occurred between 2 or more of the main characters (and often involving the guest stars as well).

The main characters consisted of Toody, who was experienced and street-wise (but dim witted) along with his partner, Muldoon, who was educated and cultured (but hopelessly shy and naive), who still lived with his mother.

One of the classic episodes featured Larry Storch, who would later find fame on F-TROOP. Storch played as a drunk who kept falling off the wagon.
