Summary: Sledge Will Put You Over The Ledge
Review: There is only one comedy show since the old Bob Newhart show in the 70's that I have any affection or admiration for, and that show is SLEDGE HAMMER. The DVD package is great, lots of features and interviews, etc.. The show speaks for itself.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Return of a lost treasure
Review: This 4-disc collection is like a bed of gold! Many of the episodes brought me back to my days in junior high and how we'd always discuss the over-the-edge humor of this instant classic! If you have never seen Sledge Hammer but are a big fan of police/pop culture satire,then buy this one on faith. Worth 10 times the price! I can't wait for them to release Season Two!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Finally, Sledge Hammer! on DVD
Review: We have all, that is the true Sledge fans, been waiting for this. We can thank Alan Spencer for his hard work in getting all the orginal Sledge Hammer episodes onto DVD, with help from a petition. This show started in the 80s and was about a cop that liked kicking the bad guys butt- in a comical and brutal way. Sledge Hammer was the guy to cuff his suspects to the bumper of his car and drag them around the parking lot to make them talk. All the characters are great, and the story line is always funny. If you enjoy comical police brutality, this is a set of DVDs to check out!

If you like brute cop force, with lots of humor, you should check this out. Trust me, I know what I am talking about!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Trust me you need this DVD!
Review: Well being in the uk I am gratful to the net for the chance to own such a cool DVD from the state's.

I have not seen the show for quite some time a good 10 years since it was last on a tv channel, I cant wait to get this much better than any so called"comedy" from recent time.

a must for anyone who enjoy's a good laugh and a classic show!

Summary: Sledge Hammer: From The Files Of Alan Spencer!
Review: While creator Alan Spencer's offbeat sitcom "Sledge Hammer!" clearly was a takeoff of Clint Eastwood's "Dirty Harry" character, the series itself was more of a hybrid of NBC's "Hunter" (which also featured a man & woman cop team) and ABC's "Police Squad!" (which also featured hilarious deadpan one-liners). Both shows even shared writers and directors - as well as "!" in the title.

The first season opens with Inspector Sledge Hammer (David Rasche) ordered by superior Captain Trunk (Harrison Page) to partner with Sergeant Dori Doreau (Anne Marie Martin) where they investigate the kidnapping of the mayor's daughter and closes the season with a bang - literally - as Hammer sets off a nuclear bomb; the producers had not expected the series to be renewed. So when the green light was given for a second season, Hammer showed up alive and well.

While most "Sledge Hammer!" diehards know what to expect from this oddball cult-show, the appeal may be lost on first-time viewers. But if given the chance the show is sure to please simply for it's goofy dead-on satire and sharp, laugh out-loud dialogue. Big ups to Alan Spencer, who joins the ranks of "Newsradio's" Paul Simms and "Roswell's" Jason Katims for striving to release their shows in quality DVD sets. Hopefully, this is the beginning of a trend.
