Comedy Crime Action & Adventure

Sledge Hammer! offers a hilariously absurd take on the cop genre, airing for two seasons on ABC from 1986 to 1988. Created by Alan Spencer, the show features David Rasche as the outrageous Inspector Sledge Hammer, a tongue-in-cheek embodiment of the archetypal "renegade cop." With sharp humor and over-the-top antics, it critiques police dramas while delivering laughs. Notable writers Al Jean and Mike Reiss, who later gained fame with The Simpsons, contributed as story editors, ensuring the series maintained its satirical edge throughout its run.
