SnoReptilePlenty Memorable, crazy movie

Bergorks If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

Arianna Moses Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

O2D This show is a great parody of 70's and 80's police movies and TV shows. They manage to include all the staples of the genre. The out of control detective with a gun that's way too big and a silly catch phrase(Trust me, I know what I'm doing), a hot female partner for him and the angry black captain who is always screaming. Plus, most episodes are actually direct parodies of old movies and TV shows.Watch it.

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.

CinefanR No review could possibly do justice to this show. It's fantastic!(emphasis on present tense). Up to this day, there is nothing like it. It's so smart, daring, ahead of its time, that I can't believe it was made over two decades ago. Timeless comedy for intelligent people, that's what "Sledge Hammer" is.David Rasche plays his role to perfection and he's the definition of comedy, also thanks to a brilliant script.Sledge Hammer is a better man than Dirty Harry, trust me- I know what I'm saying! The DVD is finally out and it looks great! The image is crisp, the presentation is great, and there are plenty of interviews and special features. And yes, laugh tracks are incredibly stupid and insulting, so thanks, Alan Spencer, for not putting it on the DVD. Well done!

okedjtj What if Inspector Clouseau or Maxwell Smart had Dirty Harry's baby?You would have SLEDGE HAMMER!Hammer had the trigger happy/excessively violent demeanor of Dirty Harry, but with the cluelessness of the other two & the results were hilarious. One running gag was that Hammer would frequently talk to his gun. He would tell his female partner that what he liked best about her was "you think like a man". In one episode, his gun was stolen & he went into an extreme emotional spiral. And of course, there was his trademark catchphrase - "Trust me, I know what I'm doing" - which of course, was usually followed by him doing something really stupid, like blowing up an entire city.This show suffered from poor ratings as a result of poor scheduling. The brainiacs at ABC decided to schedule the show smackdab in the middle of the hugely hyped Dallas/Miami Vice showdown of 1986 (when Vice was moved to 9 PM to compete head-to-head with the Ewings), then wondered why the ratings were so bad. (NOTE: the Dallas/Miami scheduling dilemma was loosely referred to in the episode "All Shook Up", providing one of the show's more memorable lines.) Then the show was moved to the Saturday night graveyard, then to hiatus. The final 2 episodes were aired on Tuesday after Who's The Boss - FINALLY a cushy timeslot - & the show not only cracked the top-20, but soundly beat Matlock each week. In the final episode of Season 1, figuring the show had NO HOPE of returning, Hammer nukes himself & the entire city - but then the show got RENEWED... and scheduled against ratings juggernaut supreme COSBY SHOW - not just another no-win slot, the DEATH SLOT!Looking forward to a second season & wondering how the 'cliffhanger' would play out, I anxiously awaited the Season 2 opener, only to be hugely disappointed when the writers' only way out of the cliffhanger was to have Gary Owens open the premiere with the disclaimer "The following season of 'Sledge Hammer!' takes place FIVE YEARS before that explosion", thus jumping the shark. Season 2 was also extremely toned down from the first season due to Hammer having been rated as the most violent show on TV & ABC also tampering with it (as if it the WRITING was to blame for the poor ratings & not the killer timeslots).I jumped at the chance to purchase BOTH seasons when they became available on DVD. This has to be the greatest TV show never seen!
