Loosly, IMHO... The main actor was the same, and his charecter
was the same guy, but everyone else was different. OJ Simpson
played Norbergh (sp?) but was a different actor on the television
show. 

Also - the television show was a parady of the episodic shows of
the 70's & 80's - Streets of San Francisco, Kojack, Rockford
Files, etc. Naked Gun was more of a general comedy with some
parody thrown in.
