Police Academy The Animated Series

Police Academy, also known as Police Academy: The Animated Series, is a 1988 American animated television series based on the Police Academy series of films. It aired on Saturday mornings and lasted two seasons for a total of 64 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. 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 (the bulldog leader), Lobo (the noble yet clumsy husky), Bonehead (the dimwitted giant St. Bernard), Chilipepper (the excitable chihuahua), and Schitzy (the only female golden retriever with an identity crisis). In only two episodes, includes also the Fat Boys.

The show was produced by Ruby-Spears Productions and Warner Bros Television. In later years, the latter company would gain distribution rights to most of the pre-1990 shows by the former, as Time Warner bought Turner Entertainment (which had acquired the R-S library) in 1996.

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