SLEDGE HAMMER TRIBUTE

WELL BUCKAROOS HERE IT IS, MY FIRST BLOG AND WHAT BETTER WAY TO START A BLOG THAN WITH A TRIBUTE TO THE BEST COP SHOW IN HISTORY, SLEDGE HAMMER. WHY BLOG ABOUT SLEDGE HAMMER YOU ASK. WELL THE ANSWER IS SIMPLE, SHUT UP STUPID. IT'S MY BLOG AND I WILL BLOG ABOUT WHAT I WANT. NOW THAT THAT IS OVER LETS BEGIN.

IN THE COURSE OF TRYING TO SET UP THIS BLOG I WAS INSPIRED BY SLEDGE HAMMER AFTER SEEING THAT I COULD ADD A SOUND CLIP. I REMEMBER WATCHING RERUNS OF THE SHOW AFTER ITS AIRING FROM 1986 TO 1988. TOO SHORT OF A RUN IF YOU ASK ME. THE SHOW ALWAYS APPEALED TO ME AND IT TRULY HAS HELD A PLACE IN MY HEART AS WELL AS MY VERY HEALTHY SPLEEN AND SET OF KIDNEYS. FROM THE OPENING THEME TO CLOSING CREDITS AND THE EPISODE IN BETWEEN I WAS IMPRESSED AT THE SHEER AMOUNT OF TESTOSTERONE ALLOWED ON TELEVISION. THERE WAS NOTHING AIMED AT APPEALING TO FEMINISM, DEMOCRATS, THE LIBERAL-MINDED, ECO-FRIENDLY, POLITICALLY CORRECT, TREE HUGGING, GUN HATING, PINKO-COMMIE LOVING, SHEEP THAT HAVE MANAGED TO INFILTRATE EVERY ASPECT OF AMERICAN LIFE.

SLEDGE HAMMER APPEALED TO REAL AMERICANS WHO KNOW THAT GRATUITOUS USE OF VIOLENCE IS THE BEST SOURCE OF LAUGHTER. SHOOTINGS, EXPLOSIONS, FORCEFUL INTERROGATIONS OF SUSPECTS ARE MUCH MORE ENTERTAINING AND FUN THAN HAVING LEARNED SOMETHING VALUABLE ABOUT FAMILY TOGETHERNESS. IT WAS THE ONLY SHOW BESIDES MARRIED... WITH CHILDREN WHOSE MAIN AND POSSIBLY ONLY TARGETED (PUN INTENDED) DEMOGRAPHIC WERE RED, WHITE AND BLUE BLOODED AMERICAN MALES AGES BIRTH TO DEATH.

SLEDGE HAMMER WAS AND IS A GREAT AMERICAN. SURE FOLKS THOUGHT HE WAS CRAZY FOR TALKING TO HIS GUN, SHOOTING AT A SUICIDAL MAN TO KEEP HIM FROM JUMPING OFF A BUILDING OR CONDUCTING TARGET PRACTICE IN HIS APARTMENT BUT HOW ELSE ARE YOU GOING TO FIGHT CRIME? CERTAINLY NOT THROUGH TALK AND COURTEOUS BEHAVIOUR. IF A MAN WANTS TO STEAL AN OLD LADIES PURSE THEN SHOOT THE CLOWN OR AT LEAST HAVE HIM BEAT THE CRAP OUT OF HIMSELF IN ORDER TO AVOID POLICE BRUTALITY CHARGES.

WITH ALL THE CRAP ON TV NOW THAT'S ALL SUPER SENSITIVE AND POLITICALLY CORRECT AND JUST PLAIN SUCKS AND THE ASSAULT ON ALL THINGS BORN WITH A PENIS, IT'S GOOD TO KNOW THAT AMERICA WAS ONCE BLESSED WITH THE ADVENTURES OF COP WHO CARED ENOUGH TO SHOOT FIRST AND NEVER ASK QUESTIONS. THANK GOD FOR SLEDGE HAMMER. BETTER STILL THANK GUN.
