Summary: Hammer All The Way!
Review: I love sledge Hammer! I was Nine years old when it came out in 1986 and became hooked! Even those who never heard of Sledge Hammer are pulled in by this wonderful series. And last of all the packaging is fun. This DVD set is worth every penny!

Summary: I Liked This Show!
Review: I remember watching the 80's sitcom Sledge Hammer and liking it. It is a spoof of cop shows that was just as funny as The shortlived Police Squad TV show that lead to the popular Naked Gun movies with maybe Sledge Hammer not being as silly. Well Anyway, Sledge Hammer was a funny show and the whole cast was great but especially David Rasche and I'm glad this show is coming out on DVD on July 27, 2004 and I was surprised about that and didn't think I would ever see this show on DVD and that is because I remember the finicky professionals critics really gave it terrible reviews and I think the show was only on TV for a season or two. I would love to own Sledge Hammer on DVD and I hope that someday the shortlived Police Sqaud TV show is put on DVD and I think that show only lasted for a few episodes so it shouldn't be that hard for it to be put on DVD.

Summary: Trust Me...I Know What I'm Doing!!!
Review: I remember when ABC first advertised Sledge...they poked fun at Miami Vice and stuff, and everyone looked at this screwball comedy and they either liked it or hated it. Inspector Sledge Hammer was a cross between Dirty Harry and Maxwell Smart...now the show is here, on DVD. While I can't judge the quality of the video, since the set isn't out yet, I'll have to base this on content of the show itself, not the extras or anything else. SInce this is the first season, the first 22 shows should include:1. Under The gun
2. Hammer Gets Nailed
3. Witless
4. They Shoot Hammers Don't They?
5. Dori Day Afternoon
6. To Sledge with Love
7. All Shook Up
8. Over My Dead Bodyguard
9. Magnum farce
10. If I Had a Little Hammer
11. To Live and Die on TV
12. Miss of the Spider Woman
13. The Old Man and the Sledge
14. State of Sledge
15. Haven't Gun, Will Travel (one of my pers faves...Sledge's .44 is stolen)
16. The Color of Hammer
17. Brother Can You Spare a Crime?
18. Desperately Seeking Dori
19. Sledgepoo
20. Comrade Hammer
21. Jagged Sledge
22. The Spa Who Loved Me If you loved that show...here's your chance...it was funny and not your usual sitcom where like today, all sitcoms center around a living room with kids. I miss the good 'ol shows at times...

Summary: I loved this show
Review: I watched this show when I was a kid. Almost 20 years later, I still remembered so many scenes from this show, like Sledge blowing up the building to get the sniper, almost the entire Witless episode, all sorts of scenes when he's on trial for murder, and of course the season ending cliffhanger. I still don't know what they did to resolve it the next season, and it's bugged me ever since. Is that bad? Regardless, I was dying to watch the show again, and when the DVD came out, I was quite happy. I wasn't sure it would age all that well, though. Some villains are pretty weak by today's standards, but the comedy is so dead on, it's brilliant. There's no way Sledge Hammer would have been made today, in our overly politically correct era, but I think that's what makes it even funnier. So check it out. I liked it, and if you remembered the show, you'll like it too.

Summary: Hammer Time
Review: If more cops carried M72 rocket launchers, we'd be a safer country!
Sledge Hammer! and Alan Spencer RULE!!! The first season on DVD is very comprehensive and has tons of extras. It's perfect! When you see this show you'll ask yourself, Why didn't Hammer have an 8 year run? Why not another Sledge Hammer! If I die tomorrow at least I know I have passed the Hammer to a new generation.
Sledge Hammer needs to be brought back to primetime. He is the post 9/11 answer to reality television!

Summary: I wanna be your ...Sledge Hammer!!
Review: In 1986, the came out with such a brilliant funny series that naturally they worked hard to kill it. At a time when sitcoms rules the waves, this was just plain old-fashioned comedy ala Police Squad (if you loved Police Squad you will enjoy Hammer!)
David Rasche plays a Dirty Harry with his dead pan tongue firmly planted in his cheek. With Dori Doreau, Capt. Trunk, Norman Bates and Office Majoy, Sledge tries to clean up the street of various scum with his beloved pistol. With Bill Bixby, Jackie Cooper, Robbie Seymour as director, the show is one gem! Glad to see they blew the dust off. Just don't take so long for season #2!! Trust me, I know what I am doing!

Summary: ONE OF THE FUNNIEST SHOWS OF THE 80'S
Review: In September 1986 a show was born with such a sharp satirical witt that the small screen could not contain it. This short lived comedy was on par with "police squad" and "airplane" when it came to timing and all out obsurdity.
The shows opening set the tone for the 30 minutes to follow: A man is threatening to jump from a ten story building. Sledge ,not being one to talk someone down, ends the stand-off by blowing the building up.
I have been trying to get these episodes for years and I would recommend them to any fan of the naked gun series, airplane, etc........PURCHASE & ENJOY

Summary: It's Hammer Time
Review: It's about time that the absolute best situation comedy in television history is encapsulated on DVD. I frequent Alan Spencer's website on the show http://www.sledgehammeronline.com and have kept up with all the updates on the progress on the DVD. He has poured heart, soul, blood, sweat, tears, and bullets into this, and all for the fans. He never compromised on quality or content. I would easily pay $200 for this set. It's packed full of features, and interviews. And the laugh track being removed is a welcome surprise. I don't need some geek to tell me when to laugh. (applaud and laugh now) The show is packed full of witty humor that always seems new every time you watch. (...)

Summary: Oh happy day!
Review: It's been a long wait, but I am absolutely thrilled that 'Sledge' is now finally coming to DVD. In the late 80s and early 90s, Scottish Television used to show Sledge Hammer! during the 'wee small hours', but I still used to stay up and watch it religiously, with the result that I currently have every episode (minus commercials!) on VHS. The show itself was very funny. Sledge had to be the most non-politically-correct cop in TV history! Doreau provided the reason to counter Hammer's madness (and not a small amount of glamour!) and Captain Trunk's deafening clashes with Sledge were always hilarious. In short, a hidden classic which deserves to sell by the thousands and find a whole new generation of fans. Congratulations to creator Alan Spencer and roll on season two!

Summary: FINALLY!!!!!!!!
Review: OH MY GOD!!!! I just noticed this DVD set was being released soon. My heart skipped a beat and I am all full of energy right now. THANK YOU FOR RELEASING THIS SET!!!! I was like 15 when this was on TV and was by far my favorite show and was so bummed it didn't last long. I have a couple episodes on videotape, but this is a blessing from above. With all the crap shows coming out onto DVD sets, it is about time a TRUE CLASSIC series is brought back for us early thirty-somethings to enjoy and show these kids today what a great show has been hiding away all this time.
