Synopsis

The misadventures of two of New York's finest in the 53rd precinct in the Bronx. Toody, the short, stocky and dim-witted one, either saves the day or messes things up, much to the chagrin of Muldoon, the tall, lanky and smart one.

AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks
Lucybespro It is a performances centric movie
Griff Lees Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.
Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
grizzledgeezer Nat Hiken's "You'll Never Get Rich" (later renamed "The Phil Silvers Show", but commonly known as "Sgt. Bilko") was the first //really good// American sitcom. It was actually funny. (The same basic premise -- a con man in the Army -- would later be "borrowed" by "F Troop".)I was 14 when "Car 54...", Hiken's follow-up series, premiered. It just wasn't up to "You'll Never Get Rich". Oh, there was a great episode or two (the one in which T&M attempt to get tickets for a play remains a classic), but the show, as a whole, disappointed me. Nothing in it matched Phil Silver's constant conniving.Watching reruns, I realize how unappreciative I was of the generally smart writing. The humor is mostly character-based, not the piling on of lame jokes and forced humor. New York, being the city it is, offered plenty of room for oddball situations (a lode which would further be mined by "Barney Miller".)"Car 54..." isn't a truly great sitcom, but it's better than 95% of the sitcoms that have (dis)graced American television. It's worth an occasional viewing.
jimel98 I was much too young to enjoy this when it was on (I was 3 when it went off the air) but was blessed to see it on Nick at Night. I wish they would bring it back again or if it's on DVD, I must have it! This show about two 'hard working' New York City cops was witty and intelligent. Many of my generation think of the sitcoms of the 1950s and early 1960s and picture simple, basic and not terribly funny humor. Picture "Small Wonder" in black and white. This show had heart and some very clever writing. The simplest of everyday situations that a cop can face were turned into comedy gold. It was the "Barney Miller" of it's day. If any of you dear readers ever get a chance to see any of these episodes, check out the one where Toody and Muldoon have a chance to go out fishing on a boat. The lengths they go to to arrange their schedule so as to be free to go out, and the ONE thing that fouls it up are complex and hilarious.The cast was wonderful as well, and of course they would be, otherwise this terrific writing would have been wasted. It's not.
democratsforbush i loved the theme song i wish it was on some cable or lptv channel i remember Nipsy Russel, was it his first TV gig? Fred Gwynne and Al lewis are a good comedy duo, later in the Munsters another cute showi did not realize that the networks tried to remake show. A modern day producer is too into anti USA propaganda and anti family themes this show was pure, fun.I would wait for it to come on and i would sing the theme song with them. I was very young and lived in the Bronx, so i was tickled when I heard the name Bronx, even though it was actually a negative comment about a holdup in the Bronx, Brooklyns broken out in fights.well , you know how it goes
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!
