It feels like a comedy starring Jim Bouton called Ball Four is just trying too hard...

I thought it was an old SCTV skit. It was for real?

That sounds about right...

Apparently it got 5 episodes, though. The real thing, that is...

It was on CBS during the Mid to late seventies, unlike police squad it did not lead to 3 movies with O J Simpson

VAGELY REMEMBER IT COMING ABOUT AS A SITCOM, THINK IT WAS A RESULT OF BOUTON'S COMEBACK ATTEMPTS AND MAYBE THE ANNIVERSITY OF THE BOOK'S PUBLICATION?

NOPE, JUST LOOKED IT UP, CBS WAS JUST TRYING TO CREATE ANOTHER SUCCESSFUL SITCOM BASED LOOSELY ON THE STYLE OF MASH AND ALL IN THE FAMILY

Forgot that the Police Squad show was inspired by the movie Airplane which was a spoof of all the Airport movies.
Police squad trivia who did Reggie Jackson play in the first police Squad movie???

Actually Airplane was a shot for shot parody of the 1957 film Zero Hour.
