Police Academy

S01E22: The Hang Ten Gang

While shopping for a new goldfish for Commandant Lassard's birthday, Sweetchuck discovers that Zed has a fear of water. An eavesdropping Proctor eagerly relays this news to Captain Harris, who says this information is all he needs to oust Zed from the force. But first, they have to deal with a group of hoverboard riding burglars known as the Hang Ten Gang. After making off with both a ton of cash and Zed's girlfriend, the chase leads our heroes over land, air and (gasp)...water! Can Zed face his fear and beat these surfer dudes at their own game? Or will he have to endure the sounds of Harris and Proctor singing 'Goodbye'?

Overview

Police Academy: The Series, also known as Police Academy: The Animated Series, is a 1988 American animated television series based on the Police Academy series of films. The show was produced by Ruby-Spears Productions for Warner Bros. Television. It aired weekdays and lasted two seasons for a total of 65 episodes.

Some episodes feature a crime boss named Kingpin. His keen intelligence, girth, and stature are very similar to the Marvel Comics character of the same name. Other new characters were added to the show as well. Among them were a group of talking police dogs called the Canine Corps. They were made up of Samson, Lobo, Bonehead, Chilipepper, and Schitzy. The theme song is performed by the Fat Boys who also make an appearance in two episodes as House's Friends: Big Boss, Cool and Mark.

While the character of Carey Mahoney did appear in the show, he did not appear in either Police Academy 5: Assignment Miami Beach, Police Academy 6: City Under Siege, and Police Academy: Mission to Moscow.
