I expect more of this with the success of the Shogun reboot.

If you've not seen it, the trailer of the original Shogun from the 1980s is hilarious. I suspect Police Squad used same narrator, and even if they didn't, they copied this style so well that even regular tv done straight from that era now sounds like a parody.

My goodness! What ridiculous claptrap! It is small wonder that Hong Kong tourists are beating the path bare coming here to confirm their illegitimate fantasies...[Thank you to superb JT poster Kokaku Ebisu for that elucidating link!]
