"Sledge Hammer" DVD set - OMG this is hilarious!

I can't believe I never caught this show when it was originally aired. Without a doubt the most politically incorrect series I've ever seen. This show would never fly in today's climate, and I'm surprised it was green-lighted for 2 seasons even back then, what with it's over the top violence and gun-worship. Course it was a spoof, but still...

Every episode I've watched thus far has had several one-liners and sight gags that just cracked me up. It won't appeal to everyone I know, but if you liked "Army of Darkness", I'm pretty sure you'd like this too.

Simply brilliant acting by David Rasche, who I'd never even heard of before, and a fine supporting cast.

That show was some of my favorite lunchtime viewing during college.

Yeah, I've got to get this one on DVD, my dad and I used to watch it all the time when I was a kid. Great show, always loved the intro where he whips out the bazooka. LOL!

Very funny show. Still holds up pretty well in this day and age. Well except for maybe the makeup & wardrobe that is obviously dated. I bought the set the week it came out but haven't had the time to go through all of them.

I loved this show. Best Dirty Harry spoof ever.

hmmm..... after watching several of my favorite old shows on DVD I've noticed that they aren't all I thought they were. I'm wondering if I should risk shattering another childhood illusion.

BTW, did anyone read the Marvel comic book?

I still have issue #2 with Spiderman.

Someone posted a link to a sledgehammer fan site that had all the info on the dvd and sledgehammer in general, back in the GG days. You may want to google it if you're on the fence about buying this set. I plan to get it as soon as I have some extra spending cash.
