Steve sent me this link in an email with about 277 exclamataion points after it.

Sledge Hammer was a cop in Los Angeles in the 80s who was a narcissist and a complete DUMB-ASS. I don't remember the specifics because it was so long ago, but it was one of the funniest shows at the time. He even used his almost-trademarked “Trust me, I know what I'm doing” while trying to defuse a nuclear bomb in the season (show?) finale. After all these years, they've released Season 1 on DVD (well it'll be out at the end of the month) Every single Amazon review on the above link is 5 out of 5 stars.

In an interview last month in Entertainment Weekly (that you have to be a subscriber to log into their site and read) he said that if there was enough interest, that they were considering doing a Sledge Hammer movie. Why not? It wouldn't be any worse than half the shit that comes out of Holywood these days anyway.

Sledge Hammer's fans are called “Hammerheads” and they have their own website. Not to be confused with the DEMA Hammerheads thing.
