I think this is one of QS' pet-peeves - every show ever made being released on DVD. Add another one to the list...





NEW YORK (Wireless Flash) -- The cult TV comedy, "Sledge Hammer," hasn't been on since Ronald Reagan was in office, but it could be making a comeback.

The complete collection of "Sledge Hammer" episodes will be released on DVD today (Jul. 27) and series star David Rasche is still hammered by how popular his show remains.

Rasche played the gun-loving cop between 1986 and 1988 but says the character never really vanished because it was a popular show in so many countries, including a woman from Sarajevo who told him she was watching his show during a bomb raid. "The same one I saw on TV," he adds.

Being chosen as a Halloween costume ranks as a major career highlight. Rasche is most honored that several police forces use him as an example of "how NOT to tell a woman that her husband has died."

Rasche is hoping the DVD sets the stage for a big screen version of the show in honor of the show's 20th anniversary. In his words, "Violence is never old-fashioned."

All I remember about that show was that I thought his partner was really hot. I think I was about 12 or 13 so I would love to see what my idea of hot was back then. I had a sobering moment a few years back when I saw how unhot "Sensational Sheri" was during the Saturday Night Main Event era. It must of been the skirts.

You can see Anne Marie-Martin (ex-wife of Michael Crichton, BTW) from the appropriate vintage at http://www.sledgehammeronline.com/

Although I didn't remember it until checking the imdb.com reference on the show, she was also on Days of Our Lives for several years as Gwen Davies. From that era, I don't know if "hot" is exactly the right word, but she'd definitely qualify as an MILF from that era IMO.
