Rating: - A Great Show Of The 80's Like No Other
I like a few of us will always remember the 80's most fondly growing up to some of these shows. Sledge Hammer came at the time of shows like Miami Vice and 21 Jump Street and while these shows were good they were for me to serious and dramatic unlike the SLEDGE. The producers made him a mix of Dirty Harry and The punisher mixed but an a very funny way the episodes are in no way dramatic or serious. That is probably the most strong reason I love this show so much if anyone has seen either the naked gun series or movies this show was just as great as they were it sadly was canceled after only two seasons so thats all we're going to get which again makes me sad.The show had three prime characters you have Sledge Hammer(David Rasche) the serious cop out to protect the people of L.A no matter who he has to shoot,Dori(Anne-Marie Martin)Sledge's more level headed partner making sure that Sledge doesn't get to out of control even though thats almost impossible,and Captain Trunk(Harrison Page)Their captain who has to both manage to try to keep Sledge's mayhem to a minimum and to smooth things over with the brass and press when Sledge's over exuberance causes the usual destruction and mayhem. The season sets both one and two come in full screen and stereo sound you get some commentaries from the creator of Sledge Hammer and from all three of the main characters. So if anyone is looking for a great 80's show get the season one and two sets you will be greatly surprised and delighted.
