One of the "Police Squad" episodes featured tubas very prominently.
"Police Squad" was a TV show (only six episodes were made) that was
the precursor to the "Naked Gun" movies. The episode in question
featured a kidnapping where, they deduced, the victim was being held
in the city's Tuba District. In one scene, Lt. Drebbin is reading
the Yellow Pages listings under tuba stores and lamenting that there
are far too many for them to ever get to them all. The finale
features a shootout in front of the Tubadero Club. Great stuff.
