'''''Sledge Hammer!''''' was a television parody of the ''[[Dirty Harry]]'' series | '''''Sledge Hammer!''''' was a television parody of the ''[[Dirty Harry]]'' series which ran from 1986 to 1988 starring [[David Rasche]], [[Anne-Marie Martin]] and [[Harrison Page]]. Creator Alan Spencer, who envisioned the show as a mix between ''Dirty Harry'' and ''[[Get Smart]]'', first pitched the show to HBO, but finally went to ABC after HBO didn't like the pilot. | ||
The pilot established the setting as San Francisco, like ''Dirty Harry'', even bringing in [[John Vernon]] to reprise his role as the mayor, but apparently San Francisco was appalled and wanted nothing to do with the show, so the setting was never mentioned again. (Stock shots of the police station and police cars used throughout the series still referred to the SFPD, however.) The show struggled with ratings during the first season, as it was scheduled against two heavyweights, ''[[Miami_Vice_(TV_Series)|Miami Vice]]'' on NBC and ''Dallas'' on CBS. With prospects for renewal dim, the show pulled out all the stops, and the season, and probable series finale, ended with Sledge Hammer accidentally destroying his unnamed city (and presumable killing himself and all the regulars) while disarming a nuclear warhead. The season finale surprisingly did garner much higher ratings however, and the show was renewed for a second season, albeit with its budget cut to a third of what it was in season one. This left the writers in a bind, however, with the city now destroyed and everyone dead. The show simply aired a disclaimer at the beginning of the season two premiere, stating that season two is set five years before the events of season one. This was quickly ignored, and season two proceeded as if nothing had happened. The budget cut forced the show to switch to 16mm film from 35mm (which is obvious when looking at the screen shots below) and fewer location shoots. The show struggled with ratings in season two as well, and was finally canceled in 1988. | |||

Inspector Sledge Hammer ([[David Rasche]]) carries a [[ | Inspector Sledge Hammer ([[David Rasche]]) carries a [[Smith & Wesson Model 629]] as his sidearm. The revolver is arguably the star of the show, as it gets the vast majority of the screen time during the opening credits. The plastic grips have the image of a sledge hammer on each side. Hammer talks to it sometimes, but when people catch him doing it, he always denies it. He also cooks with it, sleeps next to it and showers with it. For a guy who talks a big game and casually discharges his weapon for fun, however, Hammer never actually killed anyone using the gun on the show, most likely constrained by the standards of prime time network television. And for a guy who fires his gun so frequently, Hammer appears to carry few, if any, reloads. | ||

| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Sledge Hammer! was a television parody of the Dirty Harry series which ran from 1986 to 1988 starring David Rasche, Anne-Marie Martin and Harrison Page. Creator Alan Spencer, who envisioned the show as a mix between Dirty Harry and Get Smart, first pitched the show to HBO, but finally went to ABC after HBO didn't like the pilot.
The pilot established the setting as San Francisco, like Dirty Harry, even bringing in John Vernon to reprise his role as the mayor, but apparently San Francisco was appalled and wanted nothing to do with the show, so the setting was never mentioned again. (Stock shots of the police station and police cars used throughout the series still referred to the SFPD, however.) The show struggled with ratings during the first season, as it was scheduled against two heavyweights, Miami Vice on NBC and Dallas on CBS. With prospects for renewal dim, the show pulled out all the stops, and the season, and probable series finale, ended with Sledge Hammer accidentally destroying his unnamed city (and presumable killing himself and all the regulars) while disarming a nuclear warhead. The season finale surprisingly did garner much higher ratings however, and the show was renewed for a second season, albeit with its budget cut to a third of what it was in season one. This left the writers in a bind, however, with the city now destroyed and everyone dead. The show simply aired a disclaimer at the beginning of the season two premiere, stating that season two is set five years before the events of season one. This was quickly ignored, and season two proceeded as if nothing had happened. The budget cut forced the show to switch to 16mm film from 35mm (which is obvious when looking at the screen shots below) and fewer location shoots. The show struggled with ratings in season two as well, and was finally canceled in 1988.
The following guns were used in the television series Sledge Hammer! (1986):
Handguns
Smith & Wesson Model 629
Inspector Sledge Hammer (David Rasche) carries a Smith & Wesson Model 629 as his sidearm. The revolver is arguably the star of the show, as it gets the vast majority of the screen time during the opening credits. The plastic grips have the image of a sledge hammer on each side. Hammer talks to it sometimes, but when people catch him doing it, he always denies it. He also cooks with it, sleeps next to it and showers with it. For a guy who talks a big game and casually discharges his weapon for fun, however, Hammer never actually killed anyone using the gun on the show, most likely constrained by the standards of prime time network television. And for a guy who fires his gun so frequently, Hammer appears to carry few, if any, reloads.
Smith & Wesson Model 38/49
Hammer's partner, Detective Dori Doreau (Anne-Marie Martin) carries either a Smith & Wesson Model 38 or Model 49 as her sidearm. There's no way to tell which it is. Sometimes she keeps it in her purse, others in an outside-the-waistband holster on her skirt.
Smith & Wesson Model 60
Captain Trunk (Harrison Page) carries a Smith & Wesson Model 60 as his sidearm.
Browning Hi-Power
A thief (Robert Hallak) uses a Browning Hi-Power during a convenience store robbery in "Hammer Gets Nailed" (S01E02), but Hammer takes it away and hands it to his partner, Detective Dori Doreau (Anne-Marie Martin).
Heckler & Koch P7
Various characters use the Heckler & Koch P7.
AMT Hardballer Longslide
Kidnappers are shown with AMT Hardballer Longslides.
Ruger Security Six
Feliz Navidad (Jesse Aragon) also uses a Ruger Security Six.
Smith & Wesson Model 29
Hammer's ex-partner John Kogan (Jack Thibeau) uses a Smith & Wesson Model 29 as his sidearm in "They Shoot Hammers, Don't They?" (S01E04).
M1911A1
Various characters use M1911A1 pistols.
Taurus Model 65
Taurus Model 65's appear to be the sidearm of the police department in this show. Officer Lenny (John Milford) tries to collect the bounty on Hammer in "Witless" (S01E03). Vigilante #2 (David Leisure) later uses one to gun down a recently released criminal in "Magnum Farce" (S01E09).
Luger P08
