Sledge Hammer

[marcusvalorium]

Fantastic intro! The theme was composed for Danny Elfman. Absolutly marvelous!

[DeadliestArt]

I used to watch this all the time when I was a kid. Hell yes!

[AlexiusElessar]

"Trust me, i know what i am doing"

9 months later...

"-FFFFFFFUUUUUUU"

[manolapix]

brings back childhood memories

[TheJonc316]

Man it wasn't long ago I was asking my Dad "What was that programme called withe guy who used to sleep with his gun under his pillow?" And he couldn't remember and it just came to me the other day. This used to be on Sunday night in the UK along with V and Spitting Image and my Dad would let me stay up late and watch them even though I had school next morning. I would've been 9 at the time and can only remember the end of the episode where Sledge accidently detonates the nuke. Classic TV.

[taal1979]

This show was legend!!

[Zmev]

Tosh sent me here.

[moviemetalhead]

this show was definitely ahead of its time. the damn network didn't even have a set time for this show, it changed all the time. i guess the humor just went over the exec's heads. haha. classic tv. got all two seasons on DVD.

[NikKast1981]

Too bad it ain't on Blu-Ray :(

[kamsavart]

This show was hilarious, I loved it. This was the only decade I enjoyed watching prime time tv shows. I don't watch what's on tv anymore.

[mihaa94sky]

1 disliker = got shot by Hammers gun...

[bluesjack82]

LOL he's doing that cowboy gun spinning, but aim like James Bond. I watched this show on 90s. VERY COOL series.

[spacepenny]

some of the writers for this show went on to write for the simpsons.

[LiamTheGreat]

The creator of this show, Alan Spencer is making a new show next year. It's in a similar vein to Sledge Hammer

[6776mcdermott]

Awesome!!! They don't make em like that anymore.

[vccstudents]

This show was TOO FUNNY! I still remember clips from this classic!

[SirSleezy]

i have all these shows on pirated dvds,,and they kick ass

[lovecraftis]

Loved this show. Classic

[GOOSEYGOOSE9]

Danny Elfman Did The Theme Music.

[supremeFTW]

i loved this scene:

hammer trys to disarm a bomb, the crowd around the bomb is yelling: lets go hammer lets go, lets go hammer lets go. ONLY his chief yells: lets go BOMB, lets go! :)

[MrLicinlicin]

why cant there be more cop shows like this???

[soopahsoopah]

the only thing I remember about this show was that the the peephole in his front door had crosshairs...

[wumpscut1]

the first time i seen this intro i mean 1986- you just stared at it, it was shocking and awkward yet golden- sadly i only saw a few episodes-

[MrAgentuncle1]

Hey Rad,you might want to get a bulletproof t.v. for the next time you watch..Sledge Hammer.Trust me.I know what I'm saying.

[TheFranc77]

jajajajjaja, la voz en el doblaje español latino era muchiiiisimo mejor

the spanish dubbing was waaaaaay better

[waterjack3]

i only watched this show for 2 reasons...anne-marie martins legs...lol

[StukInBuf]

[StukInBuf]

"TRUST ME; I KNOW WHAT I'M DOING."

LOVED that line!

[TheAntiVigilante]

Sledge Hammer

You Can't Do That On Television

Max Headroom

I can't remember the other insane show TV execs wouldn't have the stones to put on today, same level of madness

[SERVExLV]

classic show

[Mathman1ac]

B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L!!!!!!!

[apldad73]

Greatest freakin show ever. I even dressed up as sledge for halloween when I was a kid.

[llosllos78]

damn i rem this show came and went.me and my pops would watch it

[hanoc101]

"Trust me. I know what I'm doing" One of the best TV catch phrases along with "I love it when a plan comes together" (A-Team)

[psychofred2]

Support Sledgehammer for President 2012!

[submersibledave]

Once, I saw Hammer punch-out a huge poisonous cobra.... with one punch! Incredible!

[RNC200707]

Totally forgot about this show

Sledgehammer was brilliant

[battlestarnomore]

I have David Rasche's Autograph and keep it in it's envelope that it came in way back in 1988 with season's 1 and 2 of Sledge Hammer.

[mwillblade]

Looks like the star of the show is the gun .

[Sweetassour]

I used to think magnum pi said this lol

[TheRogueLeader]

just one word says it all

"HAMMMMMMMMMMMERRRRRRRR"

[RadcliffOfCrymod]

That bastard put a hole in my screen! :P

[tasiax]

They should bring this show back the Political correct people would have a field day. Who said we have more freedom now than we used to

[RadcliffOfCrymod]

Didn't you hear? The government & media said that. :P

@tasiax It seems that ever since 9-11, we've been steadily losing our freedom. I remember when they would let people watch the planes take off at the airport from outside a security fence. Since then, you can't do that anymore because of "security concerns." Then they started that shit with the TSA. Seems everything they do nowadays to reduce our freedom is because of security concerns.

[tardwhisperer]

The chauvinism in this show is priceless. You can call him anything, but don't call him a woman!

[MSG685]

this show is still great. thank god for youtube.

[denisbonito]

Trust me, I know what I'm doing.

[actuary33]

now this was entertainment!! people who didnt grow up then dont know what they missed.

[Kdubslugga]

Trust me I know what Im doing!!! I just watched that for the 1st time in 20 yrs wow that kicked ass.

[PampersPete]

Danny Elfman was also most famous for being the sound and look behind Oingo Boingo.

[F0rkb0y]

YESSSS!Nasty dude lol!

[ross2287]

Love Danny Elfman.

[Biscom]

Not at the end of season 1 he didn't!! Hee Ha Ha...Slegde is hilariously funny!!!!

[AnansieDeSpider]

This shows absolutley brilliant!!!

[green71998]

he shot the camera man!?

[n1c4m1]

Thats a Magnum .44? So awesome.

[chaoshatesriot]

luv it..

[BMFRaw]

One of my favorite chase scenes in all of television and cinema was in the episode with Peter Marshall. :-)

[serberious]

That music was sooooo cool, nothin like it !!!.

[DEP717]

The opening theme was composed by a guy just starting out in Hollywood then, Danny Elfman.

Elfman went on to score the first Michael Keaton "Batman" movie, and "Men In Black" among others. Great theme!

[dogfight100]

this fuckin show was legend

[ECOOL76]

I know! Does anybody know if its on DVD?

[westholmes2001]

@ECOOL76 Anchor Bay Entertainment has both Seasons 1 and 2 of Sledge Hammer! on DVD. The laugh track that was used in Season 1 is removed from the episodes on the DVD set. When creator Alan Spencer pitched Sledge Hammer! to ABC, ABC decided that the show with a laugh track had better results with its test audience. Spencer didn't approve of their idea, and when the series went to DVD, Anchor Bay Entertainment got rid of the laugh track.

[victor35120]

Always talking to his gun

[Zaphrod88]

I LOVED this show.

[pletcgm]

@Zaphrod88 I agree. I loved that show too! It didn't last too long though.

[1212LeoSnake]

[deuceswild76]

[bigshow112]

forgot about this it was soooooooo good

[RadcliffOfCrymod]

Haha, that bastard blasted a hole in our TV screens every day, classic opening. :D

[Iluvbisquits]

Funny show, my sis and I used to watch it every week. My favorite Hammer line: "See ya on the back nine, divot breath."

[SailorCallie]

My favorite line is his trademark catchphrase: 'Trust me. I know what I'm doing.'

[sw1000xg]

The best episode was when the bad guys stole hammers gun hahah you got to see it...

[therealmadwombat]

Yes. Yes! OH FUCKIN' YES!!! All your base are belong to Sledge Hammer! (Son of Armin Hammer)

[Squab1972]

Trust me I know what I am doing...Sledgehammer! was brilliant a funny send up of Dirty Harry

[cloverfield911]

I remeber this was like Get Smart of the 1980s.

[Kirok]

"Sledge Hammer" at its best was really good. "Get Smart" at its worst was friggin' brilliant.

[damonkeith]

didn't the series end with a huge nuclear explosion that was Hammers fault?

[MikeSutcliffe07]

Oh God! I used to love this show! I wouldn't pull that trigger if i were you!!!

[adeliaslt]

"I don't watch the news,I make the news."

[dennismillerclone]

david rasche was the shit. never made it big time, but he always just had that goofy, cool guy thing.

[alaniphillips]

I still use his qoute with a little bit added

...."TRUST ME KIDS....I KNOW WHAT IM DOING"..

He rocks!!!! HAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMME­EERRR!!!!!

[kwedgworth2000]

That was a great show back in the day. I would love to watch them again.

[JermLeather]

This show kicked ass back in the day! Sledgehammer was a inspector gadget esque cop. It was such a funny show. Does anyone remember the episode where someone stole his gun?

[PiSpadeEighth]

...they replaced it with a peashooter...LMAO

Do you remember where his partner ended up having amnesia and she ended up being more psychotic than even Sledge himself?

[P0190]

Say what?

Sledge Hammer rulez, man!

[glatzus]

he never was a good cop

[cheezwizard]

he became a very bad cop and sent tom selleck to prison on bogus charges.

[latinoseattle]

thanks for the retro junk
