If you do, you probably also watched Police Squad, late friday nights on Channel 4 I seem to remember.
I used to love Sledge Hammer! Needs to be repeated.

He was just a complete nutter. Another reason 80's comedy was SO much better.
Sledge Hammer: Well, Miss, I was in this store when two thugs entered and threatened the owner with shotguns. At that time I drew my magnum and killed them both. Then I bought some eggs, milk, and some of those little cocktail weenies.
News reporter: Inspector Hammer, was what you did in the store absolutely necessary?
Sledge Hammer: Yes, I had no groceries at all.
Brilliant on a friday night after a skinful and feeling up some old doris

The Word was the best pissed up TV viewing
Topless darts and bouncy weather are good runners up

Sledge hammer is brilliant, probably one of my favourite series ever, got them all on DVD!
The Elvis lookalike competition episode is crackingly good!
There's so many little bits in each episode like when he slides along a newly painted wall while hiding from a gunman, he walks past the wall later and there's a sign saying SOLD!!
Brilliant!

FOMB, he gets about a bit. Did he have his lab with him back then?

Surely the word was early 90's not 80's? If i remember correctly. Could be wrong though

David Raasche I think his name is/was?
Can't remember him inmuch else but I'm sure he was, can't be arsed to Google. Can't believe he topped Sledge Hammer though as a character.
Plus having the name 'Hammer' helped!
It was just so over the top, all those 'cop on the edge' shows, this just ripped the piss out of all of them.
Telly WAS so much better in the 80's. I remember watching Police Squad before the Naked Gun movies and raving about it, Sledge was probably better though.
We traded in Blackadder, The Young Ones, Filthy Rich & Catflap (which was BRILLIANT) for Miranda, Mrs Brown's Boys and Citizen Khan.
What a pile of bollocks.
p.s., if you haven't seen it or are too young, go and find Sledge Hammer!, must be out there somewhere
