[[WMG:Mr. V, a.k.a. Veronica Rivers, is the mother of Nick Rivers from ''Film/TopSecret''.]]
''Series/PoliceSquad'' is from the same trio that created ''Film/TopSecret''. And not only do the names Veronica Rivers and Nick Rivers sound similar, both characters are in show business in one form or another.

[[WMG:The network cancelled the series because they were worried it would do to the CopShow exactly [[GenreKiller the same thing]] that ''Film/{{Airplane}}'' did to the DisasterMovie.]]
Imagine a world without ''Series/LawAndOrder''!
