1. Arrested Development (how this didn't make it but garbage like "2 1/2 men "is still on is beyond me. It was every bit as good as Seinfeld.

2. Freaks and Geeks. Very close second to Arrested Dev.

"Get a life" I thought it was hilarious. Still have to get the DVDs, though

"Sledge Hammer!" Trust me, I know what I'm doing.

... I guess I like a bit over-the-top humor smile

Part of what doomed "Sledgehammer" is that it was competing against "Miami Vice" and "Dallas" in its timeslot.

As for me, I honestly haven't cared for any tv sitcoms since "3rd Rock from the Sun" and that was only because it was sci-fi comedy!

SledgeHammer was very funny. David Rasche (Detective Hammer) was in In The Loop as a slimy US technocrat - narrowly beat James Gandolfini to the show-stealing award.

Bosom Buddies, staring Tom Hanks and that other guy. Pretty funny, especially if you enjoy watching guys dress up like women.

Loved that show but they were never picked up for a second season.

Hehe! That really brings up some memories. I remember seeing that show quite often when I was a small kid.

Sledge Hammer - absolutely. the "witless" episode where they spoof the "witness" movie kills me every time. sledge stealthily sneaks up behind the bad guy and clocks him on the head with his pistol to silently incapacitate him. but instead of getting knocked out, the dude grabs his head and starts yelling, "OW!!!" at the top of his lungs while sledge clubs him over and over. good stuff. also check out "hammeroid" where sledge is transformed into a robocob-esque mechanoid to tackle an evil toymaker.


i liked the tick too but i could tell it was doomed from the first episode cuz it was actually funny and clever instead of just crude.

The first episode of the final series of Sledge Hammer began with Sledge & DeeDee standing next to a nuclear warhead. Sledge looks at DeeDee and says his immortal catchphrase.

Followed by a gigantic mushroom cloud! biggrin

"Sledge Hammer" is one of my favourites!

I admit to use his catchphrase (the German one) at certain moments when fiddling with technical equipment and - as the series was quite popular here - it never fails to have the desired effect with people of my age. biggrin

McHale's Navy starring Ernest Borgnine should still be on. It is a prime example of man's inhumanity to man that this show was ever cancelled.

Cheers!

Rick... yep
