SLEDGE HAMMER!

[short bus president]

No, not the crap Peter Gabriel song - the TV show. About the cop who was all "Lethal Weapon" before Mel Gibson was, but I guess kinda after Hightower was in "Police Academy," so maybe that balances out the character scavering. Anyway, I just remembered it, so I'm posting it here to tell you people here in the Lounge: "Hey! I remembered something that I hadn't previously remembered! Read this thread and click my link, and maybe you'll remember it, too! Wouldn't that be cool???

2 "HAMMMMERRRRRR!!!"

2. I guess I can't remember the show for crap

but I DO remember those two lines. Reading up on it at www.jumptheshark.com is bringing some of it back into focus. Hopefully I can scaver a few episodes off the p2p networks, since it'll NEVER see any kind of syndication run. Sledge fscking Hammer! Great stuff!

3. I used to love that show!

Glad to see someone else remembering it. I don't think anyone I knew was even aware of the show when it was on. I seem to remember that the show was going to get cancelled, so they decided to go out with a blast and have a nuke go off in the last episode. Then the show ended up getting renewed at the last minute. LOL It's great--and surprising--to hear that a DVD was released. I didn't think the show was popular or well-known enough for that.

4. There's a petition you can sign somewhere

to get them to release season 2 on DVD as a follow-up. I'll see if I can't scaver a link for ya.

And here you go:

5. Very under-appreciated show! Now on DVD!

I almost thought of getting it, but I have too many DVD's as it is! It's a sickness!
