God - I used to love this show. I had to be 10, 11 maybe. Sure, I didn't even know about Dirty Harry back then, or Police Squad. All I knew was that David Rasche was awesomely insane, and insanely awesome. It's not hard to please a 10 year old boy with daddy and violence issues...
Harrison Page was the screaming police chief - filling the cliche role that only a great B-character actor could pull off. And I would have never known at the time that the actor in this clip, sending up John Vernon's morally ambiguous Mayor from Dirty Harry is none other than... John Vernon.Holy nuts - John Vernon's birth name was Adolphus Raymondus Vernon Agopsowicz? I kid you not.
