Ameriatch One of the best films i have seen

Iseerphia All that we are seeing on the screen is happening with real people, real action sequences in the background, forcing the eye to watch as if we were there.

Neive Bellamy Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

bugsmoran29 Officers Francis Muldoon and Gunther Toody as played by Fred Gywnne and Joe E. Ross are still as funny in 2017 as they were back in 1962 when I watched them as a child. It's funny in a way to see the Irish cop being the smart one and the Jewish cop being the dumb one. The other day I saw an episode where Gunther disguised himself as a guitar-carrying beatnik and I don't believe I have laughed so hard in years. Al Lewis, who later was Grandpa to Fred Gywnne's Herman on The Munster, is always a scream on this program as Leo. Car 54 Where Are You? humanizes the Bronx's men in blue in a way that wasn't to be matched until Barney Miller a decade later. In a way it is sad to see the New York through Damon Runyon's eyes in the early Sixties before the Big Apple became rotten to core.

Little-Mikey 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.CAR 54 (on DVD), where are you?

Sue-54 I agree with Gilda, Car 54 is a classic that has not been given the same credit as "I Love Lucy" or "The Honeymooners", also some of my favorites.The writing on Car 54 was superb. One of my favorite episodes is about the evil landlord "Pocrass." I love it!

Jill-30 "There's a holdup in the Bronx. Brooklyn's broken out in fights. There's a traffic jam in Harlem that's backed up to Jackson Heights. There's a scout troop short a child. Kruschev's due at Idlewild. Car 54, Where Are You?"In the mixed Jewish and Italian 53rd precinct of the Bronx, two mismatched police officers, Gunther Toody and his partner, Francis Muldoon, patrol their section in Car 54. Gunther, a married man, is short, heavyset, and, a dummy. Francis, a bachelor living with his mother, is tall, skinny, and cultured. Practicing an early form of community policing, these two kind-hearted, childish men are beloved in the neighborhood. But their efforts to circumvent stern law usually backfire and embarrass their precinct commander, Captain Block.This program, a gem of Jewish humor, packed a half-hour of riotous laughter into every show. Each character in it was well-formed and extreme. The guest stars were just as hilarious. Although "I Love Lucy" is remembered as the premier TV comedy series of the 1950's, "Car 54, Where Are You?" extracted more humor out of normal situations. One cannot watch it without getting a belly-ache. It was the funniest show on television.
