robodrolet What a hilarious spoof of Dirty Harry this was. David Rasche played a tough as nails (but completely clueless) man who loves his gun so much it's kind of sick. He shoots first and thinks later. Very funny spoof, it's hard to find but definitely worth watching.

JimPettis-91-744140 The jokes just aren't funny. Really. Not funny. Weak. Very weak. Lame. In fact, most of the jokes are SO bad that the laugh track seems out-of-place. (It never is - it's just that the jokes are really that bad.)This *must* be one of those TV shows with a "cult following". That is: a small percentage of vocal fans and a large majority of people who can't stand the show.This just isn't worth the time spent. Gets an occasional half-hearted laugh from me and no more. Most of the jokes just make me shake my head in disappointment.

drew_atreides ...the year was 1986. My dad introduced me, then 8 years old, to a little show he found about a guy who loved violence and had a propensity for talking to and sleeping with his gun. (My dad also introduced me to MONTY PYTHON around this time, too.)When other kids at school were talking about the latest episode of Mr. Belvedere, ALF and the Cosby Show, I would always bring up "last night on SLEDGE HAMMER!"... Every kid would cower in fear, stating "oh my mom doesn't let me watch that. He talks to his gun!"Beyond being a cool dad, i believe my father must have had the greatest sense of humour known to man. The gags in SLEDGE HAMMER! were beyond anything i had ever seen before. I picked it up on DVD all these many years later, and there's stuff NOW that cracks me up like nothing else currently on TV. A true classic that should get more credit then it does for being on the cutting edge of comedy."Every breath you take. Every move you make. I'll be watching you....That's police talk."

miss_sugarpuss Terrific 80s TV show. Rasche plays Sledge, a cop who shoots first and asks questions later. He talks to his gun, ignores procedure, and loves violence. But he always knows what he's doing. A hilarious show, that only aired two seasons. Fortunately for us Hammerheads both seasons are now available on DVD, so we can keep enjoying one the best TV shows of all time!"Now, your stereotypical donut is nothing but dough and sugar fried in fat, am I right? Now that fat gums up your arteries and goes to your brain, and you turn liberal. And the next thing you know, Barry Manilow is on the turn-table and you're not going to work and you're voting for gun control. You see what I'm saying? You see the connection? That's why I eat granola." - Sledge Hammer
