Review
"Trust me, I know what I'm doing!"

In 1986 an unsuspecting TV nation met a new kind of comedy hero who made Rambo look like Pee Wee Herman. David Rasche starred as the trigger-happy lawman whose hatred of criminal scum and yogurt eatin' creeps was matched only by his love of excessive force and a .44 Magnum. Over the next two seasons, this hilariously deranged lampoon of 'Dirty Harry' and plenty of other targets became one of the most notorious series in television history and launched a rabid cult of fans that grows to this day: this is 'Sledge Hammer'!

I got this before in one of these deals and watched the whole lot over one weekend. It has aged really well and yeah, it's still a p*** take.

Very funny show as I remember it. Not terribly sophisticated though :pac:
I always thought it was mainly intended as a parody of Mel Gibson in Lethal Weapon.

Captain Trunk: [Trunk watches Hammer attach something to the barrel of his gun] Is that a silencer?
Sledge Hammer: No, it's not a silencer. This little doodad is my own invention. I call it a loudener.

Great series, absolutely loved it. very, very tempting....

Doreau: Sledge, you're such a chauvinist. You'd be happy to see women barefoot and chained to the kitchen, wouldn't you??
Sledge: On the contrary, Doreau, I actively encourage women to wear shoes.

(not an exact quote, but that was the gist of it..)
