There was a time when AMC (or, to you laymen, American Movie Classics, as it was once known) was home to reruns of The Three Stooges. The network dressed it up with an anthology block under the heading, NYUK, positing TV & movie vet Leslie Nielsen as a college professor.
Unfortunately, like Nielsen's other TV ventures back in the day (i.e. Police Squad!, The New Breed), NYUK lasted at least a year on the air, before AMC pulled the plug, and "closed the campus".
Nielsen had some help, with recurring regulars Dan Lauria (ex-The Wonder Years), Anna Nicole Smith, & Carrot Top, who was shilling for AT&T on the side.
Here's a compilation of skits.
Not too fond of the green screen open with Nielsen on a bicycle when it was obvious he was not on a college campus after all.
Rating: B---.
